OSAMA BIN LADEN DEAD: NICE WORK, RICKY STANZI

Wonder why Ricky Stanzi didn't get taken during the first two days of the draft? It's not because he wasn't good enough--we all know that's not true--but because if he were taken on Thursday or Friday, people would have tried to interview him ASAP, and well, Ricky had a little secret something to do this weekend.
Now, Tyler Sash did beat us to that joke, so we're not about to take credit for it or anything, but as long as we at BHGP live in an alternate universe where Ricky Stanzi and J Leman travel around the world and kill terrorists, well, tonight's news about Osama Bin Laden getting his face shot in during NFL Draft weekend seems appropriate.
So you know what? We're going to throw caution to the wind and leave a thread open for celebrations and mirth. We would like to remind everybody that political discussions are still dangerous ground here, so if you can't make a statement about such a great day for the United States without putting down a wide swath of fellow Americans, we'd rather you didn't make such a statement at all. "Congratulations to President Obama" is great, "Congratulations to President Obama and fuck the Republicans" is not so great. We have a rare community that is both passionate and not hurtful, so let's hope the comments tonight reflect that. I think they will.

Congratulations to President Obama but don’t try and take all of the credit. His speech seemed a little bit “me me me” for my taste but still a great day!

It happens all the time. No worries.
In the past 10 years, just four team owners have not paid a luxury tax and are not on pace to pay one this year: Donald Sterling, Jerry Reinsdorf, Chris Cohen (Golden State), Bob Johnson (Charlotte).
Two owners’ teams averaged an operating income of over +$10 million per year while their teams have lost over 60% of their games: Donald Sterling and Jerry Reinsdorf.

After research, ‘capitol’ applies only to the actual building or group of buildings in which the government takes place. The correct spelling when referencing the city is ‘capital’. I made the same mistake somewhere else in this here thread.

Hey bro
I’m sure lots of people don’t read the FanPosts since half of them no one can understand, much like the rest of this blog.
Also, you’re about 4 hours behind Twitter where Jacobi was making these jokes, but thanks for playing.
"Don't talk about me like I'm not here!" Shelby
twitter.com/dmbmeg
Classy?
Let me explain what would have been classy, if you were so concerned with the appropriation of your “totally original intellectual property” you could have just emailed Jacobs, since his email is on the lower left corner of the site. If you’re just new and not sure how things work, you can have a pass on account of your ignorance. However, if you really believe that Jacobi came to the fan posts here to get a good idea so he could post something about Stanzi and his triumph over terror there’s no helping you.
For the record, I’ve known Jacobs for going on 5 years and he’s the most creative writer this side of the Mississippi. Any idea you think you have, he already thought of it, and shit it out. And when he shit it out, it looked like a kaleidoscope. That’s all I got to say about that.
Perhaps my best years are gone... but I wouldn't want them back. Not with the fire in me now. No, I wouldn't want them back.

They can't get the award, I don't think.
Since it’s technically a part of their job, they’re not allowed to receive an award for a job that they are already paid to do. I think that is mainly as a way to get civilian help.
Also, we'll probably never find out who they are,
but that might be good, for the safety of their families and friends.

Gable was moving up. He couldn't wait forever for a head coaching job.
Cael made a pretty lateral move.
We will become more intensity!!! --What Reading Rambler thinks Tom Brands should do.
by WaterlooChazz on May 2, 2011 4:13 PM CDT up reply actions
ISU didn't even offer Gable a job
Cael told ISU that he wouldn’t take anything less than the head coach position.
Der Hoelle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen
Didn't Cael start as an assistant to Bobby Douglass at ISU?
I thought the story was they got nervous when other schools started looking at Cael as a HC, so rather than lose him to one of them, they pushed Douglass out the door and made Cael the HC.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Apparently, there is a new book about Douglas, chronicaling (sp?) these goings-on
When the Ohio State job came open, Cael told Pollard (he was the ISU ad then, right?) that he was either going to be the head coach at ISU or OSU and it was up to them to clear the way. Douglas was told that he had, at most, one more year to coach if he wanted.
Der Hoelle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen
That sounds like how a lot of people get ahead in their careers
I really don’t see the problem with this. It’s pretty undeniable he was a better HC at that point than Douglas. The world could be a lot better if more talented young guys could get more shots over entrenched veterans.
Outside of each BHGPer’s personal career knowledge where they can easily see this, one of the most obvious points of this is news media. We all know a couple dozen sportswriters that are hacks but they hang on quite easily while talented guys like Jacobi toil in obscurity. To make it you have to either outlive the old bastards or start your own thing (This is how Bill Simmons and Scouts Inc made it out before selling for megabucks to ESPN, hopefully the progenitors of this fine blog eventually see the same)
I can certainly see problems with his move to PSU, but this one? Nah.

by therealCatnuts on May 3, 2011 10:57 AM CDT up reply actions
Well, it is not as if Douglas was doing a poor job
He was still one of the best coaches in NCAA wrestling. I don’t think anyone would bat an eye at what he did if he didn’t leave ISU 4 years later for PSU. I think to force your alma mater to fire your own college and international coach so that you can move into his position, only to leave a few years later is a pretty low class move. If Cael wasn’t sure he wanted to be at ISU, he should not have made that demand. All that said, ISU was more than happy to oblige, so they have plenty of pie on their face in this thing.
Der Hoelle Rache kocht in meinem Herzen
What?
It’s pretty undeniable he was a better HC at that point than Douglas.
How is it “pretty undeniable” that a guy who had never been a head coach before in his life was better than a guy who had 30-year track record that included success at Arizona State and Iowa State. His ISU teams finished 6th or better at NCAAs 8 out of 9 years from 95/96 to 03/04, including three runner-up finishes. The two years before he was ousted they had struggled (10th, 13th), but I certainly don’t think it was “pretty undeniable” that Cael was better than Douglas at that point.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
I guess I should qualify that.
Do you want the next 30 years of Cael or the next 5 years of Douglas? Any objective observation would choose Cael. And of course this line of reasoning looks better in retrospect after Cael just won the NC, so I could have qualified it there as well.
Note: I’m not trying to say older or experienced employees are always ineffective (far from it), but that there’s a lot of times they hold back younger employees that would be better suited in those positions.

by therealCatnuts on May 3, 2011 3:42 PM CDT up reply actions
Sure, but I would say
that being hesitant to forcibly replace a coaching legend with a guy who has zero coaching experience is not a bad thing. At the time that Cael took over at ISU, there was really nothing that indicated that he would be a very successful coach. In fact, if I remember correctly, around the time of his olympic win Cael even said that he was unsure that wrestling was even in his future.
The other way to look at this, is that ISU chose an unproven, uncertain coaching newcomer over an experienced, proven winner who would never have left ISU. Now they have neither.

I hope the "Cael pushing Douglas off the cliff" story...
is a rumor, because then Cael is officially a complete douche.
Up until now, I usually have only claimed Cael is a douche in jest, to needle Rambler. The ISU to PSU move was not a sign of loyalty, but appears to have at least been sensible.
But, to force your alma mater to give your coach the axe is pretty horrible. Maybe this happens more in the “real world” today, but I’d argue there are a lot of things that many people accept in our world that are pretty terrible.

That's not "qualifying it," that's changing the entire fucking question.
And of course this line of reasoning looks better in retrospect after Cael just won the NC, so I could have qualified it there as well.
Well, no shit, Captain Obvious.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Not sure why you got all swear-word-y all of a sudden
Guess I touched a nerve. ISU and Cael can do that, I suppose.
I just see this as pretty easy to understand from Cael’s perspective. You’re an extremely promising young buck working for Coke as a SVP. When Pepsi offers you the CEO spot, you have to consider it. Yes, maybe you like your current CEO but this is your career we’re talking about, and your family’s livelihood. And all the easier to push him out if he’s quite near retirement anyway. You can either just take the Pepsi job or tell Coke about it and see if they match.
IMO, nothing wrong in Cael’s actions at that time. If you think so, you won’t be getting ahead in a similar situation, and maybe shouldn’t be. The world is not as kind to loyalty as you think.

That's not remotely close to what I was saying, so fuck you for making presumptions about me.
You initially said this:
It’s pretty undeniable he was a better HC at that point than Douglas.
I disputed this because it is not true. (And, no, you do not get to use your magic hindsight glasses to make it true.)
You went to make several other arguments/points, which is not “qualifying” your original point, but, in fact, making several new points/arguments. I may or may not disagree with them; frankly, I’m not particularly interested in debating the motivations or ethical behavior of Jamie Pollard and Cael Sanderson from years ago.
"I want to be a cowboy. I don't want to be a panda. Pandas are boring, stupid and boring. Bad panda!"
Fine. Keep your mad hat on.
You obviously don’t care what I was trying to say either. Let’s just move on to other topics.

How long until they make a movie about the mission to kill Bin Laden?
Could be one of the greatest action movies of all time, right up there with The Dirty Dozen. You know that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be in it. Probably Matt Damon and Samuel L. Jackson too. But let’s keep the cast American – Brits, Canadians and Aussies need not apply (I’m looking at you, Gerard Butler, Ryan Reynolds, Eric Bana, Russell Crowe, etc.). Hey, we appreciate all that your countries did to help in the war on terror, guys, and I have enjoyed your work in other movies, but these real-life American badasses should be portrayed by actual Americans.
According to FilmDrunk, there are already some Bin Laden movies working their way thru the process.

Might as well stop production on those duds and start doing some massive rewrites.
No one is going to want to see a movie about failing to kill Bin Laden – they want to see the movie where he gets his brains blown out. Repeatedly. In show motion. By The Rock.
Does the Rock have proof he was born in America? He looks kind of Muslemy.
