I will be making a conscious effort to wish everyone a Merry Christmas this year ... My way of saying that I am celebrating the birth Of Jesus Christ. So, I am asking my email buddies, if you agree with me, to please do the same. And if you'll pass this on to your email buddies, and so on... maybe we can prevent one more American tradition from being lost in the sea of "Political Correctness".


With Love & Prayers!!!

Some History on Bob Knight

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here are two web articles....both written in 2006.....three years ago....which detail the storied and troubled history and track record of one Bob Knight:


This one uses satire to get the point across as to what Knight has gotten away with during his tenure as head coach of a college basketball program:


The Couch Slouch: Not all of Bob Knight's transgressions get reported


And here is one that simply lists the factual "incidents" which Knight has been involved with:


Bob Knight's outburst timeline - USA Today



Needless to say....this is one man who should NOT be an analyst, or in a position to be trying to use persuasive tactics to influence other's opinions, when he himself is a lightning rod and the poster boy for controversy and bad behavior.

Great post, Soldier. Thanks for the effort. Believe it or not, I actually remember most of those and at the time I thought they were really funny. Actually, I think they are still funny, I just don't like it when he goes off half cocked and misrepresents the facts to suit his own warped sense of fair play.

The Couch Slouch: Not all of Bob Knight's transgressions get reported

By NORMAN CHAD
SPECIAL TO THE P-I

They say that Bob Knight is an angry man. I say that Bob Knight is an anguished man who, on several hundred occasions, has shown anger. Either way, Knight, 66, is about to surpass Dean Smith's 879 victories to become the winningest college basketball coach in history.

Here is a partial list of Knight's reported and unreported transgressions:

1962: Trips guidance counselor in hallway while coaching Cuyahoga Falls (Ohio) High School. County school board declines action; Knight praises "good no-call."

1974: Pulls gun on Kentucky coach Joe B. Hall with 6:28 left in game. Hall, initially outraged, apologizes afterward when Knight shows him gun had only one bullet in chamber.

1974: Meets with 17-year-old Larry Bird on Indiana campus at 4:16 p.m. CT. Bird sprints off-campus and arrives at Indiana State on foot at 4:19 p.m. CT.

1975: Breaks top scorer Scott May's right arm at halftime vs. Purdue, then convinces him to play second half to display "toughness." May is largely ineffective but Indiana wins 72-69.

1978: Attacks and knocks out Indiana's sports information director during an otherwise non-physical disagreement over sports information.

1979: Arrested for assaulting police officer at Pan American Games in Puerto Rico. "If hitting a cop in a third-rate island nation is an issue," Knight famously says, "then I'm visiting the wrong country."

1981: Stuffs LSU fan into garbage can at hotel. Knight says he would've thrown him into parking lot but did not want to violate stringent municipal anti-littering laws.

1982: Yells maniacally at ESPN's Dick Vitale, but, as luck would have it, at that very moment Vitale is also yelling maniacally and does not hear a word that Knight says.

1985: Kicks megaphone during Illinois game. Megaphone is removed from arena immediately.

1985: Tosses chair across court during Purdue game because he's tired of sitting in it. Suspended one game.

1993: Kicks at his son Pat during victory over Notre Dame and responds to booing fans with a Redd Foxx impersonation. Suspended one game.

1993: Disgusted by team's 22 turnovers in road loss to Illinois, robs a string of convenience marts in tri-state area. Suspended one game.

1994: Bangs fist on scorer's table vs. Ohio State after rereading Chapter 17 of "A Season on the Brink."

1994: While viewing "Hoosiers" in Bloomington, Ind., theater, stomps on patron two rows behind him who is talking during crucial town hall meeting to decide coach Dale's fate.

1994: Accidentally head-butts Sherron Wilkerson while screaming at him on bench; says he only meant to scratch his eyes out.

1997: Accidentally chokes Neil Reed in practice while demonstrating proper defensive footwork.

1999: Accidentally throws assistant Ron Felling out of a chair, then -- after allowing Felling back onto the chair -- fires him.

1999: Throws a vase at a university secretary; says he was aiming for the university president.

1999: Allegedly chokes man at restaurant who beats Knight to the kitchen's last order of cheddar 'n' chives potato skins.

2000: Accidentally grabs, curses and lectures student who had addressed the coach, "Hey, what's up Knight?"

2000: Heaves ESPN's Jeremy Schaap into Hudson River after Schaap asks about alleged 1947 dodge-ball incident.

2004: Has loud spat with Texas Tech chancellor David Smith at Lubbock grocery store, near the frozen-food aisle. Smith leaves with no groceries.

2005: During "Knight School" taping, cold cocks ESPN makeup artist who tries to apply blush to his left cheek. He then knees ESPN audio engineer who asks for a second take of profanity-laced tirade.

2005: Cracks open the head of a mannequin with a baseball bat while shopping at Sports Authority. Charges dismissed after he explains he mistook the mannequin for a former Big Ten referee.

2006: Improves Michael Prince's chin posture.


Ask The Slouch

Q. If O.J. Simpson's Fox special is a ratings hit, what do you figure will be next for him? (David Fields; Oak Hill, W. Va.)

A. Well, I think he's going to tell us what we already know, so I'd pencil him in as an NFL sideline reporter.

Q. Shouldn't the NHL-YouTube agreement finally put the league on the map? (Joey Favata; Syracuse, N.Y.)

A. Perhaps. Frankly, I thought the NHL's first big Internet deal was going to be with eBay.

Q. Will The Slouch be first in line to see "Bobby"? (Rob Cunningham; Burien)

A. What, Kennedy worship is in vogue again? Heck, I'd rather deify Coach K.

Q. What are you thankful for? (Laurence Lass; Houston)

A. Bowling, TiVo and Metamucil (not necessarily in that order.)

Q. Don't the networks run the risk of indecency fines every time they show an Oakland Raiders game? (Sam Thomas; Springfield, Ohio)

A. Pay the man, Shirley.

Thanks again, Bob Looney ACLU atheist porofessor challenges God

Thanks Bob! My liberal friends will hate this wonderful re-cycle, but you know I love it. Send in the Marines!

Subject: This one is worth reading









God is Busy



If you don't know GOD, don't make stupid remarks!!!!!!

A United States Marine was attending some college

courses between assignments. He had completed missions

in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor

who was an avowed atheist, and a member of the ACLU.



One day the professor shocked the class when he came in.

He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, GOD if you are real

then I want you to knock me off this platform. I'll give you exactly

15 min.' The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.

Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, 'Here I am

GOD, I'm still waiting.'



It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got

out of his chair, went up to the professor, and cold-cocked him;

knocking him off the platform. The professor was out cold.

The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently.



The other students were shocked and stunned, and sat there

looking on in silence. The professor eventually came to,

noticeably shaken, looked at the Marine and asked, 'What

in the world is the matter with you? 'Why did you do that?'

The Marine calmly replied, 'GOD was too busy today protecting

America 's soldiers who are protecting your right to say stupid

stuff and act like an idiot. So He sent me.'



The classroom erupted in cheers!



THIS IS GOOD, KEEP IT GOING

A Sinner's Poem Thanks Mr. Looney, Ex Marine and Ex Postmaster

Thanks Bob Looney!

I find this hitting me right on the head!

Sam, TIO ( I like to kid that means The Innocent One). Actually it might be the inner and outer as a Christian. I hope to surprise my good friends in Heaven.

Sam

Subject: : Sinner's Poem



BEST POEM IN THE WORLD

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.

But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp--
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.

There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.

Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.

I nudged Jesus, 'What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.

'And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'

JUDGE NOT!!

Remember...Just going to church doesn't make you a
Christian any more than standing in your garage makes you a car.

Every saint has a PAST...
Every sinner has a FUTURE!
