Politi on Schiano

[Shelby65]

Nobody knows if it happened or not. Either way, it’s none of our business. Clinton should never have been asked about his sex life. Nixon committed a crime, lots different than sex between two consenting adults (in Clinton’s case) or speculation about sex between consenting adults without any evidence (in Hobb’s case).

There is no proof of an affair in Hobbs’s case. You’re embarrassing yourself by treating rumors as fact.

Are you an adult ? That’s not how it works, and I expect you know better. First Amendment. People know. Surely there are sources who are entitled by law to privacy. If false, he’d sue for defamation and libel. He’d have a job.

Stop embarrassing yourself. Really. If you don’t agree with the relevant laws, feel free to pursue changing them.

Just to clarify, the fans & members of this board are allowed to complain about Greg & the team and point out the errors and bad calls he made but the sports writers, who actually get paid to do this, are not?

Has someone said that? Politi invites criticism. He's an asshat.

Now you’re just babbling nonsensically. “First amendment?” “People know?” 🤣

You seem super offended by criticism of that talentless tabloid weasel, Politi. Is Shelby65 actually Steve (The Weasel) Politi’s Rivals account? You’re being awfully defensive. Hm…

I don't think even Politti is THAT stupid.

Journalists protect sources because if they did not, the sources would dry up.

In practice, journalists are permitted to do that.. again, in practice. But some journalists gone to jail instead of revealing sources when properly requested.

there is no law protecting sources.. at least nothing in the constitution. I believe some laws have been passed.. and are untested constitutionally, that protect specific cases of course.. rape accusers, whistleblowers.. but that protection is limited too. I recall some Dem-controlled House Comittees refusing to show sources in closed session with fellow committee members. No law gives them that right or protection. But it was done anyway... to protect what many believe were imaginary sources.

But Clinton was asked about sex because it was relevant to the Paula Jones case. And the Paula Jones case was relevant to the Whitewater Case. To show behaviors involving pressuring witnesses and so on. oh.. and Nixon was set up. He did not know about Watergate before it happened. He didn't need any shenanigans with the DNC.. he was gonna win. The Pentagon Papers harmed the military-industrial complex.. they are who set up Watergate breaking.. and former CIA liaison come "journalist" Bob Woodward was a neophyte journalist who somehow got all the sources necessary to uncover Watergate. "Watergate" was designed to take out Nixon... and did so. When I think about the Mar-a-Lago raid.. I think that's Waetrgate all over again... Trump was set up. hopefully it doe snot work this time.

Plenty of programs have turned around bad teams to play at least competitively over the course of several seasons. The fact that we have almost the same performance as we did in our 2018 and 2019 seasons is frankly unacceptable.

Beating Washington and VTech and losing by 7 and 3 to BIG competition does not indicate that this is a 2018 team. Complete hyperbole! RU is better than they were in the 10’s but so is the rest of the Big! Again it is a process

Somehow, even with the injuries, I don't think this team would lose to Kansas 55-21 or Buffalo 42-13.

Politi is right on Schiano.

Really what it boils down to are some of our fans who bought into the idea that bringing Greg back was going to save the program and turn us into this perennial 8-9 win program don't like reading that they were wrong. Old men have a REAL hard time being told they were wrong about something

I live in Los Angeles. The LA Times beat writers for UCLA and USC have been merciless in their slamming of the ADs, coaches, and players of these schools. The reporters go way overboard in their criticisms and are too quick to cast blame. By contrast, Politi is relatively fair and balanced. No one needs to do a deep dive to find dirt on him; he is simply reporting on a mediocre team whose fans still are blind to its mediocrity.

Oh you don't need to go to LA for that, heck we can just go 2 hours south of Piscataway to see how Eagles fans are trying to run a coach out of town who had the team in the Super Bowl 18 months ago.

I'm not sure why so many of the old men are so soft when it comes to Schinao criticism. I mean I guess I understand it, they don't like being reminded that they were wrong, but really they need to get over themselves. Put an bandaid on their Ego, take the L and move on

Did those fans say it would happen in the first 5 years? I remember a couple people making what I viewed as overly optimistic predictions of where GS would take the program. Not sure anybody put a timeframe on it.

I never thought it likely GS would get this team to 8+ wins on a regular basis. I still don't think it likely. I don't think it's likely for any coach who comes here, now that we're in the Big Ten. Not entirely impossible, but so many things would have to go right, probably including a substantial increase in NIL funding.

And, for GS or any other coach, I thought it was extremely unlikely to get done in 5 years. We'd have to have won 8+ in 3 of those 5 years to reasonably refer to it as regular. And it would have to be 4 or 5 years to be considered perennial.

So it's jumping the gun to say those overly optimistic fans were wrong unless they explicitly said "in 5 years". They may prove to be wrong eventually, if and when GS leaves the program having not accomplished that. For me, that's more likely than not.

But we still have to wait and see what happens.

Who knows, maybe some previously unknown RU grad or NJ CFB fan who became super wealthy will endow an RUFB NIL fund with $100M. Far stranger things have happened. And with that sort of fund, the attractiveness of the RUFB coaching job will skyrocket.

Nah. Mediocre means average. This team is far from that. We may not finish in the top 15 of the conference, not mediocre at all.

Football-wise, no. On morals, sure.
