Does anybody in here believe Peyton is the GOAT? Surely, that's just UT fans. I noticed they were throwing that around last night. They won last night with/without PM. Joe Montana, with a 4-0 SB record, has to be near or at the top of that list in my lifetime.

Brady's got 4, and three Superbowl MVP's.

Yep. Saw one in Africa and he was just posted up alone in a tree like a boss. Said he routinely drags antelope up there, alone. Bad Mofo.

Welp, their plan to keep me from buying new gear is still in tact.

Lexington to Nashville in general is terrible.

Couple reefers and you're pulling into town, IMO.

I'd recommend anyone that hasn't already to read that SI piece. He's clearly not getting, or not listening to, good advice on how to handle this situation.

For example- Davis mentions the fact that everyone is asking where McGee got the money to pay for these hooker parties. Instead of a simple "I don't know", Pitino tries to turn it into "I know, right, the guy was so cheap lol, that's what makes this whole thing unbelievable!"

Problem there is a) it's admitted by both sides that these parties happened, b) Katrina Powell has a millennia of history supporting the allegation that hookers don't work for free (maybe Jazzy but that's it) and c) using "McGee never paid for anything himself! Like ales at a tavern, certainly not questionable wenches!" isn't so much exonerating as it is implicating that "OK, so the money DID come from another source, but who?" and HOFCRP* is the one (inadvertently) pushing that narrative back out there.

I don't know the particular "rules" of an NCAA investigation, but the fact Smrt and Jurich are keeping him completely in the dark, show up on a Thursday to tell him about the post season ban announced 24 hours later, their ignoring his pleas to take some time to think it over, etc. tells me they found something connecting him to it and this is the start of the walling off process.

Pitino had his usual self-righteous comments with his penchant for hyperbole in other comments but his quote on McGee as you pointed out was just stupid. First, Pitino should be smart enough realize that talking about the money doesn't help Louisville. McGee wasn't making much at the time so everyone knows that the 10 grand or whatever the amount was didn't come from McGee. If it didn't come form McGee it implicates 'other people', whether those 'other people' include another coach or a Louisville booster doesn't matter cause it adds multiple people to the rule breaking.

Interesting side note that I haven't noticed here or elsewhere, McGee is not a man of significant means and Pitino just told us in the SI article that he is notoriously cheap...so I have a question, why is it or how is it that McGee is being represented by perhaps the best defense attorney in Louisville? To get Scott Cox to normally represent you would cost not an insignificant amount...he is a terrific lawyer and the amount to retain him as counsel would cost many times over the 10 grand it cost McGee to get these women to several parties.

Scott regularly represents UL athletes, just like Jim Lowry represents UK players. Neither charges their normal rate in those kinds of cases for obvious reasons.

I was really enjoying the crazy cam split screen there. No way that guy has 10 years left. That has to get old on ol burner seated next to that psycho.

Controversial take:

If you really hate Louisville, you root for them to win the rest of their games and win the ACC regular season championship. There is no way the school can publicly acknowledge it after the decision they made Friday. And if the UL fans bring it up well.....if they get embarrassed easily they won't. And it looks bad for the ACC.

I will be rooting for them to lose the rest of their games. Like I always do.

This pity party being started by UofL fans/media is the most gd pathetic thing I've seen in a while. How delusional and out of touch can people be? Christ. [sick]

If there was ever a game you wanted Duke to win, that was it. Congrats, SAE. That should keep UL out of the top 10, and their schedule gets pretty brutal. Only way I see them getting top ten now is if they can steal one at UVA then make a run in the ACCT - HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Great to see Damion Lee has his coach's back. Considering his ditched out on his last coach and teammates. IF God had a twisted sense of humor, Cleveland State and the awful Drexel would win their conference tournies.

Not controversial, just dumb. UL fans would never stop bringing it up. Would forever hear about the title that was stolen from them by the NCAA (by their own cheating really). ****, no matter what happens, I bet they try to say they were a FF lock this year.

The problem with that is, that McGee is no longer with Louisville and McGee's legal interests may now be opposed with the interests of the university. Considering Pitino's comments publicly about McGee, McGee may have lost or will lose all loyalty towards Pitino and Louisville. Scott Cox is representing McGee, if he is representing him honestly...anything that hurts Louisville but helps his client he will pursue.

I was saying that back in the fall. Scott Cox is paid by and reps UL. Not AM. He's probably too stupid to figure that out, but if and when it comes time for AM to act in his own best interest or UL's I think we all know how Cox will advise.

I never really understood how NCAA athletes were able to receive expert legal services for free without it being an impermissible benefit.

I have not. And probably won't. No interest. I'd just get pissy at all the **** they get wrong.
I'm sure. But I think, or hope, they got the lifestyle of the hedge fund guys right. The last episode opened with a drunk hedge fund guy trying to mow down deer with a machine gun at 4:30am in the back yard of his Greenwich home.

Chief, he just said he has no interest in watching. What exactly made you think he would give a f*ck about the last episode's opening scene?

Pull it together, assmilk.

I think it's premature to assume that McGee's interests are opposed to UL's at this point. If someone had been charged with a crime, sure, but I'd be pretty surprised if Louisville law enforcement ever goes after anyone involved in this mess.

I can also imagine a few scenarios where it would be better for McGee not to cooperate with the NCAA even if they're threatening him individually with sanctions. So who knows? Regardless, I seriously doubt that McGee will be the one who brings everything down.

True story - the VAST majority of "hedge fund guys" are complete flippin dorks. The quant guys especially. Shut ins, nerdy, obsessive compulsive, tools. A touch of Rainman with a lot of them. Zero personality, which I guess helps them do what they do.

What you described sounds more like trader/salesman behavior, like Jordan Belfort type stuff. He wasn't a hedgefund guy, but a broker. Totally different crew. Plus, the pearl clutchers in Greenwich CT would never put up with that sort of disturbance.
