Assuming this will blow up on the blogs tomorrow - already has on twitter among the west coasters and the late-retiring midwesterners. Don't see how media can get away with blowing hot air like this without any reliable source anywhere.
We love hearing from you! Whether you want to work with us, discuss advertising opportunities, or pass us a hot tip, you're more than welcome to drop us a line.
i cannot believe the stupidity... talk radio.
the comments at the end of the story are worth a read... think a Chuck Norris-esque tumblr account should be made of Urban Meyer memes
You begin to wonder if this isn't 100% manufactured for ratings/listeners/web hits. OSU is largest fan base. Are these guys really that stupid? I believe Brando could very well be. Always got that vibe from him. Good lord, another Bianchi.
^^ same conundrum with Skip Bayless... IMO, Skip Bayless is just a **** who likes to argue because he can, Bianchi is just bitter, and Brando works for an SEC network with SEC constituents so his negativity (using words like "pathetic) towards Meyer is no surprise.
Edited: Unacceptable word.
^^^The word "pathetic" was not used towards Meyer, it was directed towards May for getting into a twitter battle about his comments. That being said, Brando is still an idiot.
I think as a fan base we need to start ignoring these trolls. The Bianchi's and Brando's of the world are hacks. They target the largest fan base with their lunacy to get the most attention they can while putting in the least amount of work. We make it easy for them. They need the attention to stay relevant and employed. We are easy targets, especially with how sensitive we are after all the scandal we've been through. Ignore these trolls from now on.

well, I wouldn't generalize and say that all of talk radio is stupid. That in itself is a stupid statement. It's the individual who is the stooge.

I made this comment on the Skull Session already, but I'll say it again here:
SO, Brando's not upset that Penn State also could win the division for the three years they are under sanctions? Just OSU? Here's a question for Brando: Did Urban 'whine' and campaign for Penn State's inclusion for the chance to win the division as well?

It would be awesome if CBS forced Brando to either publicly apologize or find a new job.
Too bad CBS doesn't have a spine
^^^Fire him??? I think we may be overreacting a bit here. Brando is indeed a moron, but it's not like he accused Meyer of cheating. Would we be this fired up if he said the same thing about PSU?
No we obviously would not be this fired up if he said this about PSU, I don't care about PSU.
There's spinning, there's reaching, and then there's...what can you even call this...manufacturing?
We'd still say he was a moron if he said it about PSU because we know it's blatantly untrue. PSU has a lot more things to worry about than winning the Leaders Division...starting with winning a game.
Class of 2010.
Yeah I don't think firing him is a stretch or overreaction. CBS pays him a pretty dime to portray things accurately. It is one thing to give an opnion as doucher claims to have done, and there is another for fabricating a lie and lambasting an individual for it.
I mean it would be like me saying, I have sources that Brando cheated on wife with a tranny and also is a crack head who steals from sick children and kicks his dog
Technically ANY opinion that is against what you feel is true could be considered as fabricating a lie. As stupid and biased as his statement was, he simply assumed it was Urban who was behind this. Again, I am not defending him, but we have all been guilty off making assumptions based off of personal biases. Brando is an SEC guy who caters to and SEC audience...many of whom still hate Urban. Brando is just giving his listeners what they want. At least this "story" hasn't gained any traction on a national level.
From a making money standpoint, he just made more making this incorrect and foolish statements. If he is a sports news reporter he should be fired. If he is pure sports entertainment and the scope is to entertain, bravo sir.
EDIT: Uggg... should have known someone was going to turn the thread about politics and overreact. Comment removed... I hope you do the same and take a step back from the overreaction train...
ok, didn't want to overreact, but for the sake of the site --

agree to agree that Brando is a d-bag tho

^I don't mean to get any more political, but that is a claim by Limbaugh and I haven't seen any independent reports verifying that, so I'd it take with a grain of salt. I'm not making a commentary on his political/religious views, just that I don't find that claim to be backed with much substance.
When exactly was the last time Tim Brando announced or even introduced a big game? Why does Tim Brando even have a show? Evidently you don't have to do any studying or even understand a situation to have your own show......Unbelievably ignorant
Battles are sometimes won by generals; wars are nearly always won by sergeants and privates. Football is no different, the guys down in the trenches win the games, not the coach.

@Bucks43201 That's really interesting if true. I checked out your link, and it just links to a page with a single blurb, stating that he has an accuracy of 99% in his claims. Do you know if the The Sullivan Group ever released the report? Interesting stuff.
yes, William -- yeah, that's a blog post -- I'm sure there's more on it to back it up. But, I've heard that reported before, and that it's the Sullivan Group.

Tim Brando is a washed up announcer trying to remake his name ala Skip Bayless.
