Who is your Ty Willingham?

Posted on January 10th, 2008 – 2:38 PM
By Michael Rand

A nice read and interesting bit of information over at the Seattle Times caught our eye earlier. Apparently a man — Ed Hansen, in fact — is willing to donate $100,000 to a U of Washington Law School scholarship program if the school fires football coach Ty Willingham (he’s also offering another $100K if they fire the AD). Our question is this: Who is your Ty Willingham? That is to say, who is the one coach/GM/AD in sports, that if you had money and influence, you would pay that much money to get rid of?

*Our choice is not this guy.

*Doesn’t Ed Hansen seem like the perfect name for that guy?

Though he’s only the coach, I’d say Childress, hands down. He “may be getting better” but this team needs more than yearly incremental improvement. I know this guy is the qb guru off the 20th and 21st century, but that’s no longer true. He needs to go so his mindless bias toward keeping and “grooming” Jackson goes with him. Then maybe the new coach will spend the time and try to extort the $$ from the owner to get the best q.b. on the market ASAP. After all, it’s difficult to live up here, year after year, and see the locals always getting waxed. Maybe if they won more than a minimum # of games, I might come around, but first cut Childress then go all out for a qb…then i may wear Green and Purple …I used to

I can’t access “ACCESS VIKINGS COMMENTER” and their tech staff says it’s only a technical snafu. Right !! and the wardrobe malfucntion of Janet Jackson was just an accident…so since I don’t believe you “commenter” I will treat you the same way a black ant treats a red ant….and attack you at every tree !!… until you leave as the vicious spy you are, so be gone, infidel, be gone …

Nice video. Really looks like that walk out was all about supporting students, and not at all about wanting another day off. I hope anyone who participated gets an in school suspension. Free speech? They’re in high school–they haven’t earned that right yet.

Here’s an aside I thought you might all like to know from the Biloxi Sun-Herald…drum roll pleeze…”For the first time in three years, I haven’t thought this could be my last game,” Favre told the newspaper. “I would like to continue longer.”….and with those fast young receivers ..Yowsah !!! I’d push for alot better players now if I “bled purple”, and if Ziggi doesn’t cough up those hotshot players, don’t go to their plastic home. Stay at your home and watch the Packers !! Yahoo !! ..Ok I’m done

AZ, you only hate him since your love interest bums in this blog hate him. Send in a pict of yourself and see how many of those Latin lovers would then cross the street to avoid the heretofore unseen AZ, the girl who might be…

Paul Peter Paulos says:

AZ, no insult intended. With a pict sent in (that takes some guts. I know) we can all see if you are a bowser..again no insult intended, since you might not be, but you sure follow the leader in here, ay ?

Viking Commentators….did your site self destruct under the weight of too much fecal matter ?

P3, you’ve called me fat and a dog in the span of 2 days! I hope you’re nicer to the troubled youth you work with. Or are you the “cleaner”, meant to drive them to rock bottom in their self-esteem?

Paul Peter Paulos says:

I’m saying I don’t care what you look like just that I believe you might be playing the “bleeding purple” nonsense in this site since most guys here are similarly deluded. So, ugly or not, fat or not, being a bowser or not (although a pict could dispel all of that …dare ya !) what’s important is that with few gomen (combo of girl and women) in this site, it’s pretty easy to, at least cognitively, cozy up with one of Minnesota’s finest…Clear ?

Can a poster on Randball be my Ty Willingham?

Otherwise Ron Turner the Bears O Coordinator would get the wrath that is Jama’s Millions!

+1 x +1 = +1

-1 x +1 = -1

-1 x -1 = +1

what does this mean ? Nothing. Nothing more than using vague and meaningless scales like +1 to evaluate anything at all (p.s. this comment is +2)

P3, I enjoy how you berate anything that you don’t understand. Your inadequacy isn’t obvious when you do that.

Just never liked that study hall in house, in group “1″ mentality …it’s more exclusionary than inclusionary like being jammed for backing the better team (packers) even when it was clear the Vikes were sewer bound

Besides what’s the scale 1 —? and if it’s all about the sacred COW, what does it tell you that I would have been one long ago except I passed on that honor…

P3, you don’t need the COW honor, we’re treated to 300 word posts from you every day.
