Oregon's Chip Kelly Squares off with J<script type=

I have to give props to Kelly.

Kelly does what we wish Carroll would have. However he doesn’t come out on top, these things are no win situations. All he has done is lower himself to Canzano’s level and give him something else to talk about. Canzano gets his point out there too and even gets Kelly to admit it. The fact Kelly hasn’t suspended the running back or QB and his point that neither of these kids can play right now is meaningless to the message it sends to the other players and the public. It looks like there are two sets of rules at Oregon and the excuse he is waiting for more facts is a dodge. He is kicking out the backups and hoping it works. Maybe it will and maybe it won’t, time will tell. What is that old saying, don’t pick fights with people who buy ink by the barrel or something like that.

The clown says: “Does he really not see how he’s affecting this.”
Kelly’s opening response to the clown sets the tone: “That’s your opinion and that’s what you get paid to spew out so that’s fine”
Priceless!
Here’s to Augustus stepping on Wolf’s neck.

Wait till you get the facts, then hand out appropriate punishment. Suspending someone in the offseason is ridiculous.

Sounds like a lot of truth on both sides, it’s tough being on top isn’t it?

but I do think he handled most of it as well as he could. He was more soft on the players than I would have liked. He was a players coach.

Canzano is more hated in Oregon than any of our L.A. sports media figures… even Wolf. I was at a Portland Timbers soccer game once and the Oregonian took out an ad on the big screen that was something like “The Oregonian’s John Canzano, voted America’s #1 Sports Columnist!” 11,000 people booed the hell out of it… and it was just a still ad!

It was the first that I’ve heard of him and I was reasonably impressed at first. Smart guy. Great debater. Seemed fair, stating his opinion based on facts. Not reaching or sensationalizing too much. Kelly and Oregon should stand up to tough questions on this stuff.

But, if Canzano has a history as an ambush artist, then I can’t respect the guy. Still, he seems way more talented than the LAT guys. Lev at the OCR is by far the best USC reporter.

Hear hear! I second the Lev luv.

The Duck fans at Autzen are rude, ill-natured, foul-mouthed beasts who struggle with an inferiority complex that dwarfs Wolf’s self-esteem issues.

There must be some crazy stuff in the soil up there!
