Larry’s Brother Returns

I had hoped Coach Larry’s brother would just go away because really, it would one of those weird viral stories about a family member attacking bloggers and internet posters, but he’s back and left me another comment about how I’m a really mean person or something.  Anyway I wrote this back.

"“Really dude, this is just weird. You do get how embarrassing for both the program and your brother it would be if it went viral that he had a family member running around the internet attacking anyone who dare criticize coach Larry. We’d be a laughing stock. More of one than we already are.  So seriously man just walk away. I’m actually asking you to do this for the good of the program. I’ll trade barbs with you all day, but it’s not going to be a good thing for your brother or the U.If you want to know what bothers me about your brother it is that he did so very much wrong when he took this job, like he was in way WAY over his head. He took a 15-20 win roster and made it a five win roster whether or not it was because he couldn’t keep people or chose not to keep people. And the coaching was abysmal. He had guys fighting for jobs who just didn’t care. That is all worthy of being pissed about.But he’s done a couple of things right and if you’re an avid reader of my blog, which you really shouldn’t be, you’d notice I gave him credit for that.But Bernie, you are of course free to do whatever you want, but think about what would happen if one of the big blogs finds this out or God forbid it found its way to ESPN. Really dude.”"

Sincerely, I hope Bernie takes this advice, this seems like the kind of thing that could really turn into something.
