Make up your mind, Deano
Rarely do we get to bag on ex-Sooners. John Blake and sometimes Troy Aikman have it coming.
Dean Blevins, he of so-so talent at QB who was a participant in one Sooner magical play against Nebraska, consistently out-douches himself. It’s not as good as the time he compared Stoops’ management style to bin Laden. For those of us with shorter memories or those who didn’t see the January 2002 article before Joe C most likely told him to take it down (I emailed Castiglione myself, he actually replied and thanked me for pointing it out to him – yeah, that was me, Deano), here’s the damning graph:
Note: The above-linked story obviously doesn’t make the comparison, but find the passage about a 1/4 way down that says “Have you heard the one about bin Laden coaching college football? Oh, I forgot. Can’t tell you that one.” That’s douchebag Dean’s girl-slap at Joe C.
-
“Stoops is the bin Laden of college coaches: Each wanted by a bunch of folks with a bounty on his head and neither snatched. Each slippery, elusive and a mastermind. Each bunkered and surrounded by confidants whose lips are as sealed as a dead man. One cave in Afghanistan and one in Brookhaven. And each infrequently calls press conferences infrequently with people listening and watching with bated breath.”
This time, it’s just the run-of-the-mill Deano being his usual self-flaggelating self. He’s taking his usual odd-giving asshattery and saying there’s a 75% chance that Sam Bradford is out for the season.
After reporting with great certainty and his usual breathless vigor that HE’S the one bringing you the story, Blevins slimed his way backwards:
-
“As we reported Sunday night, sources tell me the injury sustained by OU QB Sam Bradford is a Grade 3 AC joint sprain. That means there is a ligament tear and will quite possibly require surgery.
I opined Bradford’s season would most likely be over–”75 percent chance.” Thankfully, that part was wrong.
Eli Manning reportedly called Bradford and discussed how he’d dealt with a similar injury and how he’d come back after only a few weeks.
Grade 3 injuries usually keep QBs on the shelf much longer than 2-4 weeks. But Bradford was up-beat tonight and not even wearing a sling.”
Thanks for telling us exactly what we thought before you ever tried to make yourself part of the story, Deano.
