Ha ha ha ha

Don’t publicly say you’ve spoken with every player one on one if you haven’t done that. Especially if you haven’t spoken to anyone one on one. What a dumb move. Welcome to the big leagues, Norvell.

It’s bizarre. There are plenty of things you could say and then later mention that it was taken out of context or a poor choice of words. This is not one of those cases

I don’t even know what you say if you’re Norvell. Sorry for lying?

“The reporter jumped the gun. This story wasn’t supposed to come out until after I spoke with every player. Just a misunderstanding. Nothing to see here. The Memphis media always had my back and would never have even asked me a question like this. It’s a learning process.”

Damn. That's impressive!

Want to make your head spin?

It won't happen, but would Lovett and Jones be immediately eligible if they transferred back to MSU?

I remember everybody downvoting me for suggesting Cohen release a statement (he did a few hours later) and having focus groups, etc.

I remember during our coaching search there were "red flags" around Norvell that no one could confirm. Well, now we have one.

I'm just grateful Leech seems to be holding his thumb in terms of commenting on the politics of the past week.

I thought that at first, but read the whole quote by Norvell. He says emphatically about 3 times how much it meant to him to speak with each player on an individual basis.

Norvell completely stepped in it. I'm not sure how he recovers.

Anybody notice the first sentence in Norvelll's original message? He apparently was texting while driving.

When I read the initial quote, it seemed pretty clear to me that "back and forth individually with every player" could be referring to text message. One of those carefully worded not-a-lie-but-still-misleading statements, like when “most” of Ole Miss’s level one violations in the first NOI were three minor sports.

When will grown men learn to just keep their mouths shut. If you are white and male with high profile job shut the hell up. You cannot win.

Wrong. Guys in leadership positions staying silent are getting killed. It's a no-win. You have to say something and just hope the words are exactly right so you don't get killed for wording your response "wrong".

It's kind of like the covid-19 emails - got emails from every company I've ever done business with telling me what steps they were taking to prevent the spread.

Now I'm getting emails from every company I've ever done business with telling me how they support the black community. Does that mean they didn't support the black community before May 2020? I'm not sure why they've all got to clarify that, but whatever.

Yes. I’ve been anxiously sitting on the edge of my seat to see how racist my bank, tv provider, alma mater, gas station, and grocer, and cellular provider is.***

I don’t know if white males realize just how bad this is about to get...you are not allowed to have any opinion other than we are all racist and we have to bend over backwards to GIVE everything we ever worked for up for something we had zero to do with. You will from now on be passed up on jobs you interview for even if you are more qualified than a person of color. I will cut grass the rest of my life before I back down and say its ok for people to disrespect or Nation, steal from stores and be racist against me(bc that is whats happening).

I am against racism of any kind. I owe you nothing and you owe me nothing. People who break the law(looters or power tripping cops) should be prosecuted to the max. Our country is in real trouble and will never be as great as it once were bc people are stupid enough to let the media drive them into frenzies. I can’t for the life of me figure out why the media(or people in general) don’t see racial driven murders in the same light. Black on white and white on black happens all the time but the media only publishes what will cause controversy in the media.
Can you possibly image what would happen if the colors were turned around on OJ Simpson right now? They would go back and find some loophole in the law to retry him and he would get the death penalty that day.

You need to get over your victimhood mentality, it's hurting your community.

I suggest not lying as logical first step to winning

You also have to hope that nobody just thinks you're an *** hole and uses you saying something as an opportunity to sort of imply you're racist.
