We've heard this before

Yeah, how'd the VPi game go that year? He trash talked Vick saying he was no McNabb and then they dropped 62 on us.

All I remember from that game is our first series. Nunes threw an out to Spotwood. The VT DB hit him so hard he knocked him about 8 yards backwards, and took the ball from him in the process.

I blacked out after that.

How is any of this Axe's fault?

I dont get the fascination with him. Dude is a good reporter and often the voice of the fan. Which is why he got fired in the first place.

I’m not sure how good a reporter Axe is. Frankly, he’s a bit of a dim bulb.

And a good reporter should be something more than the voice of the fan. As a fan, I have no problem saying that’s a pretty low bar.

However, any journalist covering this team, or a team like this one, would have reported that tweet.

He's been doing this segment for awhile. I'm not sure if he selects the headline, but if I were him that's probably the tweet I would have picked. So yeah, I think it's misguided to blame him for it.

That said, I don't consider him a reporter. I know he's in the room asking questions, but more of a column guy.

I'm old enough to remember when there was a difference.

I remember two things. The play you mentioned and one where Vick kept the ball on an option and juked, I think it was Bullock, out of his shoes. That was a beating, and it felt like it could've been worse if Virginia Tech wanted it to be.

“F” Axe.

I honestly think Brent Axe is a poor human, excuse me but sorry. I think he should be removed. Whether you love Dino or not, I do not know how he is even courteous with this man. I honestly think he is plain evil. He waits to pounce and is classless.

I make my living off the evening news
Just give me something, something I can use
People love it when you lose
They love dirty laundry

You can't hide your lyin eyes

Axe is a 315 guy. He might not have moved on for family reasons.

there was a short side option on a 3rd and 8 where i was thinking they're terrified to try anything and i didn't blame them

will allen and pat woodcock had 183 yards combined on seven kickoff returns
