Consider this blown off. Let me guys, CNS realized that the weight room always has room for one more dumbbell?
As for the LBs, same line as above, only the need was for a tackling dummy, Right?

Gentlemen,
Please allow me to right my wrongs.
First, I apologize to Freddie Roach. Call it a brain-fart, but when I read CK's mentioning of "Freddie Roach" immediately someone else came to mind, and my "dumbbell" and "dummy" comments were directed at that individual, NOT AT FREDDIE.
As for me dismissing CK's comment, I still feel the same. That has nothing to do with CK, but has everything to do with never trusting a single-source report. This policy is a bedrock of sound media reporting, and until there are multiple sources, I consider these matters rumors. True, all current facts began as single-source reports, but I am prepared to wait. If you need a classic examples, recall the Dewey Beats Truman report on the front page of the Chicago Daily Tribune or the rush crown Gore President in 2000. In both cases one was better for holding acceptance of the word coming down. -- My disregarding of CK's comment is not a comment about CK. CK's reputation and validity to this sight can neither be helped or hurt by LBS. I want CK to continue doing what CK does.

Talking about yourself in the 3rd person now, are we?!? :lol:
FWIW, I suspect that CnK got his verification of the story directly from Roach.
One other thing. This story broke, or first hit the public eyes (if you call it that) back during the coaches clinic when Freddie was very involved in and around the proceedings. There was enough reason at that time to suspect there may be conversations happening between Saban and Freddie at that time.
TerryP said:I haven't asked CnK if that was the case. But, considering Freddie was a part of his tailgate during the A-day festivities and he's been a guest in the last 5-6 on "Talk of Champions" it's a safe assumption he just picked up the phone and asked. It's not difficult and by far it isn't close to being bothersome to ex-players, players and coaches to have friendships with people that support the program.

FWIW, Yes. I do from time to time. I trust no one was thrown by that. This should not be an issue considering the masses that join me in not posting by our real names.Talking about yourself in the 3rd person now, are we?!?
This still does not change the fact that it is a wise practice on my part to get a second opinion, unless it is Freddie himself...at least that's what Ian told meFWIW, I suspect that CnK got his verification of the story directly from Roach.
As it turns out, you and I don't necessarily disagree, but regardless of how that turned out..."Unload"? Heaven forbid anyone express a counter opinion to yours. Hey, surely I did not just return from the Middle East because FREEDOM OF SPEECH was on of our rights. It may be me but but "Agreeing to disagree" and "Unloading" don't seem in line with one another. People have a right to be an idiot, and I KNOW PEOPLE WHO HAVE DIED DEFENDING THAT IDIOT'S RIGHT TO BE THAT WAY. But for the grace of GOD, I was not one of them.Glad I read down to this...I was about to unload.
I concur wholly. To my knowledge no one has so much as implied a "pattern", nor discussed the validity of CK's connections. For my part, I simply declined to accept a one source report. I am not alone. How many have replied to a post by asking for a LINK?That does not make a pattern or invalidate CnK's outstanding connections.

My previous post still applies.
