This is a "story" that will blow over in about 72 hours. Is Petrino a hypocrite and a lying weasel. Yes he is. But that's because he's a football coach.

That's what football coaches have taught themselves to do - - they tell the person in front of them exactly what they think that person wants to hear. They do it to the press; they do it to the fans; they do it to free agents they want to sign; they do it to players they may want to draft; they do it to owners of teams they would want to coach. Part of the requisite skills for a football coach - at the college and pro levels - is to be able to lie convincingly without getting caught too often.

That applies to ALL of them. Each and every one ...

Does Arthur Blank have the cell phone number for one Martin Edward Schottenheimer...???
