MIKE LEACH SENDS ANGRY GORILLAS TO HIS ENEMIES

So it’s pretty obvious that young Davis there is going by his mother’s maiden name, right? Because there’s no way those two aren’t father/son.

Craig James is the Anti-Christ.

Dread Pirate Leach is gonna battle this thing tooth and nail because ESPN reported he had a 400k a year buyout, which is like 1.6 million left on said buyout, plus maybe that schweet 800k he missed out on by a day. This should get interesting.

PS why did he hire an ambulance chaser? What he couldn’t find a guy to come out from Dallas?

Leach to TT “Arr, we be takin’ all yer booty and yer fat wenches too”.

I hope he gets the whole $10 million and another $10 from Craig “I raised a pussy and I am a douche” James. You Pussy Boy James, ask Brandon Deaderick or Cory Reamer what a real football player looks like.

There is already a url for “firecraigjames.com”… Didn’t check the whois, but it is parked… He is a douche and so is adam… It better br be funnier than the athens driven “fireturnergill.com”

One of the big issues in this story is the ESPN angle, which is rapidly morphing from James/TTU vs. Leach, into the Worldwide Leader vs. Leach. As this involves one of their own employees, they should be reporting “just the facts” and keeping commentary and analysis to a minimum. Their failure to do this, and the gratuitous piling on of Leach is a disgrace. And of course there was the ESPN interview with Craig James as icing on this journalistic pile of shit.

Doin’ the Lord’s work for ya, Orson:

By God, nothing like a big pissed off GORILLA gettin in the judges face. This will be some big time “Texas size” justice. Mercy be damned, we gonna fight to the death. They should just hang somebody in Huntsville right now!

Craig James is a dirty mofo. After leaving SMU, he conveniently got a job working for the real estate broker behind the SMU pay-for-play scheme:

you just wait till the shackles used on poor little James and the firearms used by the doorguard are presented in evidence in court….

oh wait, this is not Guantanamo….

no, Coach leach got the Capt Bligh treatment on this one…only his dingy has an angry gorilla rowing him toward $10M island

In a big bucks pissing contest like this, the only winners are the attorneys.

Usually, people get in trouble for getting someone out of the closet

First time I hear about someone getting in trouble for putting someone in the closet!
(drums)

Seems to me Leach put the gun to his head, pulled the trigger and now wants to sue the gun manufacturer.

He should’ve called Goldberg.

800.

600.

Jon Voight to play Ted Liggett in the made-for-TV movie. Feel free to make other casting recommendations…

Ah – accusations of paper shredding and racism in the hiring of a replacement, ignorance of 3rd grade vocabulary words that appeared in the employment contract, and the scouring of every word of depositions. Such memories. I certainly wish Michigan had just eaten the $4 million when it hired RR instead of taking the public relations hit for nearly a year. I have a feeling TT is going to feel the same way after its suit as well. Litigation is not pretty.

I have some casting ideas for the made for TV movie,
especially for the Gorilla

@4
Maybe you didn’t read the post, Ted Liggett litigates with the power of rabid gorillas.

1. - it’s traditional in the animal world for the baby apes to take their mother’s maiden name – hope that clears that up

as for craig, i love how he started his little statement last night:

“this isn’t something we asked for. we continue to be a victim of something.”

i think i know what that “something” is that’s victimizing you, craig – it’s your bitch mentality

Leech’s lawyers specialize in ambulance-chasing type cases.
They are the ones, to a significant degree, responsible for the country’s health care costs going over the roof.

Do you know how much MDs pay for malpractice insurance to cover the cost of defending
themselves from these clowns, literally ambulance chasers?

He should have hired lawyers specializing in labor law that have done this before. Agreed.
Leech picked the wrong lawyers like he picked the wrong fight at the wrong time.
And, someone with such bad judgement is getting romanticized?

I could understand the joke value of the fat-girlfriend-hater-Pirate, and the copy he provides, unlike vanilla Mack Brown.
But, it is time to let this thing go and find a head coach for TT with some brains.

Okiedomer: If your son had a concussion and was put in a shed for hours, would you just let it go?
I give Craig James credit for not going over there and smacking Jelly-Belly Leech around, that’s what I would have done.

@ 20 Charlie -

Just to be fair, you know that ambulance chasers are p.i. attorneys and tend not to wade into the waters of med mal, right? Not saying there’s no link between litigation and the cost of healthcare, but I have to defend a rabid gorilla lawyer when I can…

I must say that this has been far, far more interesting than anything that’s actually happened on the football field this bowl season

“Okiedomer: If your son had a concussion and was put in a shed for hours, would you just let it go?”

yes

let’s be clear: the james boy was put in the shed b/c of his bitch mentality, not b/c of a concussion – he didn’t want to work, he cried about pt, his dad was calling up crying to the coaches (which i’d never do), etc. – my guess is leach said “get this guy out of my practice…go put him in that shed or something”

so yes, if my son was exhibiting that kind of bitch mentality, i’d let it go – hell, my coaches did worse things to me in junior high

@20 – don’t even get me started on how terrible your post is

I’d rather my concussed son in a dark, climate controled shed than out on the field getting furthered injured. The shed wasn’t a punishment for being injured, it was a punishment for lack of effort IMO. The kid had some sttitude issues and this was a way to punish him for those in a harmless way.

Yeah to me the unstated subtext in this that Adam James wasn’t really injured. The docs cleared him and everything. If it comes out that he actually did have a concussion and was having symptoms, it’s a completely different story.

Most of the anti-Leach commentary tends to stem from the idea that he was purposefully humiliating an injured player and not giving concussions their proper respect. But Taylor Potts and his glorious beard sat out for weeks with a concussion, so Leach obviously knows that it’s a serious injury.

The new rumors are that during the court battle it will come out that Leach has been a total asshole to the AD and other high ranking school officials (which would not surprise me even slightly) and that he’s a drunk (which is again just a rumor). It will be messy, and Leach doesn’t seem like the type to sign a nondisclosure agreement.

@26 – i don’t know why anyone would say leach is a drunk…oh, wait…

for the record, barry switzer’s deviated septum taught me to never trust a sober coach

Trust me, if the firm does p.i., the firm does med mal. And as someone who deals with this line of business exclusively,

a) the general public is far more to blame than plaintiff’s bar for the lottery-based ‘if there’s a bad outcome then someone owes me money" mentality that pervades every corner of our society

b) regardless, 99% of the plaintiff’s bar can drive a burning Lexus off of a 1,000 foot cliff for all I care

c) move on, Mike Leach. The SEC awaits you with open, loving arms.

Bobby – Just to get all piss-anty, I also deal with this line of work exclusively and the two are water and oil. Perhaps in GA things are different, but here in Texas, if you’re one, you definately aren’t the other.

You are 100% right about Leach in the SEC, however. Wonderful.

Sparrow, I’d argue if I werent already 3 Bloody Marys down and assuming we very likely know each other, or at least aren’t more than two or three degrees separated. Cheers, sir.

Whether or not the James kid is a bitch is really besides the point. Would I let that treatment of my child go? Depends. Is my child an adult who can make decisions on his own? Accept responsibility for his actions? Use his free will, and, you know, make a decision to walk, transfer, go to the admin.? Either way, I certainly wouldn’t be grabbing for a microphone and tv camera and using my employer to play the “victim” card.

Let’s step back and discuss whether a D1 college athlete is ever “victimized” by anyone other than the NCAA….

Bobby – That’s an delightful sentiment. If you’re already 3 down, please make it 4 on my behalf (still slaving away at the office, with little end in sight). Salut!

We have a lot of lawyers represented on this website don’t we.

(Kevin@LSUspeak: We gotta lotta fuckin’ lahyurs on this site.)

But, yeah, I’m stuck at the office today too.

@28 – i’m glad you mentioned leach and the SEC – last night we were talking about how leach has the requisite level of crazy to coach in the SEC and would be a great fit alongside kiffykins, nutt, miles, petrino, OBC, saban, etc.

florida should just go ahead and make him an offer

It has just come to my attention the real reason behind Leach’s firing. It turns out that TT is a majority stockholder in the East India Trading Company.

Ditto to Leach to Florida. Would love to see him in our league(just not at BAMA).

I once got a CLE flyer in the mail to attend a confrence in Atlanta and those guys had a Rattlesnake on it. However, a Gorilla insane with blood-lust is much cooler.
It appears that not only is Mike Leach substantially awesome/insane but so is everyone with which he associates and does business.
If he is a pirate and his attorney a rampaging silverback then I wonder what his doctor, accountant, pastor, and mail man is like?

So, to recap:

— Leach is an asshole, albeit a (crazed) genius.

— The Craigs are assholes, and pussies to boot

— The TT admin is filled with assholes. Period.

— The lawyers, who may well be assholes, are gonna get a whole lot richer. Which, I guess, just makes them assholes.

In the movie, the gorilla will be played by the wife of that guy selling his Idaho ticket on Ebay.

Hands down the best anti-Adam James facebook group
“Adam James is a Pussy-Fart”

Hmmm… it should not be lost on anyone that Rich “this is bullshit” Brooks won’t be back at Kentucky (most likely) – there’s Leach’s opening. Crazy in Kentucky is normal isn’t it?

If any one knows Liggett is not with Smith & Liggett anymore, his head got a little to big even for the gorilla
