Lou Holtz

Alright, I can appreciate that those people who have done something for a long time might have a right to have an opinion, but I have to argue that just because someone has exhaustive tenacity it doesn't necessarily mean that he is an expert. I have to draw the line when segments on ESPN are crafted based off of a false notion to a man that I can't understand.

Dr. Lou? Ok, so I haven't decided if honorary degrees are legit at all, but even so, a credible institution has to offer it. ESPN has no authority to bestow degrees, unless it is to make fun of someone... like the "BS Degree of Stupidity" mostly because it is BS. But Lou Holtz... a Ph.D. in Football Psychology? Duuuude, stretching it.

My favorite is when someone calls into the show, like Koby Bryant, and asks a question like "What recommendation do you have for players who are under a lot of pressure?" And then Lou gives an answer like... "Pressure?... That is a good question, football dates back to the days when men used to wear leather helmets and the pressure from the impact of the hits caused a lot more injuries, so make sure and wear more padding." His answers literally cause me to say "WHAT?" Cuz seriously... what? Should experts make you say that? (Something to ponder as I consider what my graduate professors caused me to say.) Regardless, teachers should help you understand.

Perhaps this is a joke, like Lou Holtz lost a bet and his buddies made him be a commentator... but that would only answer a one time appearance, but he is featured on College Game Day and several other games and halftime reports. So what's the deal ESPN? Do you really mean to be just giving out degrees? And do you really mean to employ a head coach that just might need to be checked for signs of senility? How long will the madness last?
