Not to change topics here but not being close to CUSE local news whatever happened to Bernie Fine? It’s so weird that his story just died out. These stories don’t just die out generally.

Died out here too. Supposedly he is living in Florida. I know a few of our former players(Coleman and E on his podcast) say they still keep in touch.
 
The Bernie Fine thing appeared to be a lie, but let's not pretend Boeheim is a saint running the cleanest program in the country here... I'm sure anyone who's followed the program closely for more than a few years has heard stories of NCAA violations that never came to light or a cover up or two. Policing players off-court behavior has not seemed to be a big priority. Some of the stuff I've heard doesn't bother me and is part of competing at that level, other things I've heard bother me a great deal if they're true.

So Carton is welcome to his take imo. But he's also a (talented) sports shock jock who happens to be a scumbag who has said absolutely horrible things on the air that should preclude him from ever working on air again, and a convicted felon who used his fame to swindle people.

So I doubt Boeheim is too concerned with what he says.

You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about when it comes to off the court behavior by players. My son was a team manager at Pittsburgh under Jamie Dixon for 4 years and trust me, most of these kids do the same things as any other college kids. Just because we watch them play basketball doesn’t mean they’re still not college kids who do their fair share of stupid/dumb things as we certainly did in college. Coaches aren’t and shouldn’t be babysitters...

Anyone happening to be listening to this pos on wfan right now? He literally just said Jb was a disgrace and called him just as bad as Paterno. Said he would never have him on his show. The University needs to take away this guys diploma.

Boy, that’s a losing lawsuit for SU. It’s not an honorary degree.

Think "friend of the program"...

Don't want to mention his name, because people get hyper-sensitive about him.

Okay. I really don't know him. I don't really have much of an opinion on him. But at the least, it seems he is trying to make a positive difference now. I haven't seen the same from Criag. What I have seen is he somehow feels that he is a victim. That people in positions of power should have been held responsible at Syracuse but I doubt he thinks people in positions of power should have been held responsible for his criminal acts. I have no use for Carton and don't listen to him. He works in NY and really talks about teams I don't root for (other than the NY Giants) The guy you are referring to I am willing to bet, I will never meet. But I hope he does good work going forward.
 
This clown held a reveal party to announce that after his whole life of being a Mets fan he was going to be a Yankees fan. I wish he would pick a new college team to root for. We don't want him.

I know nothing about Carton, other than having read a little about his legal troubles. Don't care about him, and don't care if he's a good guy, a-hole, or somewhere in between.

The "felony" comment just stuck out to me, that's all

Really, why? Because he isn't the only felony convict in the world? He is a-hole about the university I love. So, if someone wants to bring up that he is a convicted felon, so be it. He did that. He hurt other people. He isn't the only one that has done things like that but right now, he is the only one on radio calling Syracuse University out.

Well, the comment was:

Guy is a convicted felon.

Why do we care?

If he's an idiot and a scumbag, the crap that he's spewing should be ignored regardless of his record.

LOL Perhaps you haven't turned on the radio or cable news lately. Idiots and scumbags are on the air and being listened to every day.
 
How is it we give this little man any credence by any response

His destiny is set

There are reports by that he hasn’t made a dent in his restitution, despite the big salary. Also, is there any proof of the Sandusky thing, or was that a leniency ploy.
