Message: [QUOTE="Symphony Steve, post: 321852, member: 911"] I agree. O'Brien HAS to be in salesman mode. And it's not as if the O'Brien appearance took place in a vacuum. Penn State has received, completely justifiably, as bad a publicity barrage as anyone possibly can. Is O'Brien supposed to keep quiet? Is ESPN not supposed to allow him on? Let's face it. These guys are ALL salesmen. Some of them like, say, Bob Huggins, acknowledge it. Others, like say, Paterno, pretend to be something else altogether. Here's a great piece about this from the Harrisburg Patriot Ledger's David Jones. I especially liked the juxtaposition between Paterno and Barry Switzer: [url]http://blog.pennlive.com/davidjones/2012/07/switzer_huggins_paterno_et_al.html[/url] [/QUOTE]
