Dan Orlovsky: “David Benedict Is A Schmuck”

[Adios]

At the end of the day, it's Dan Orlovsky's word versus Matt Burke aka BIGLEY's word. Which individual has more to win or lose? Guess who may be getting hits? Matt Burke (@Burke_Metro) | Twitter

Athletes and coaches are likely going to not want to be around Matt Burke now.

I don't think that's the only (or even a reasonable) explanation. DO is a mouthpiece for Randy. If he's saying this, you can bet that there is conflict between Edsall and Benedict.

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I think Randy may feel like the whole mess with the state and his son's contract could have been handled by the athletic dept. and school administration much more professionally than it was.

Details, details. I was being sarcastic and it was supposed to be obvious to all that it was a made up rumor, just as with all the other unsubstantiated BS in this thread. My underlying point was that DB and RE need each other so rumors of a rift make no sense from the perspective of either party.

Edsall doesn't really need much of anything from anybody anymore. He's still the highest paid state employee in Maryland.

As if professional or any athletes and coaches previously allocated much if any time to the Metro subway trash and Mr. Bigelow ...

All he has done here is undermine the program.

Did he put people's lives in danger?

Sounds like Benedict reached out. Hopefully Dan learns a lesson from this: 1. If you have an issue with someone, speak to that person directly. 2. Don’t double down when questioned about a comment made. Just own up to it if you said it and apologize.

They spoke the day of the article...

Post-Orlovsky discussion with the Metro's BIGLEY, IIRC a direct comment by Orlovsky indicated he contacted Benedict or a more respected media representative strongly suggested Orlovsky contacted Benedict ... ??? In either case, AD David Benedict appropriatedly appears to have moved forward.

Sounds like UConn's Yiddish Dept. is a little weak.

OK we're all back on the same page again!

It's quotes like this that keep one from getting coaching jobs.

They also aren't great for struggling Athletic Departments.

You misunderstood my point.

Dan had choice words about the state of the basketball program and then went on to call the AD a schmuck. He miscommunicated by providing examples of why Ollie is a schmuck to conclude that AD Dave is a schmuck. If he was trying to tie something to our AD he used the wrong anecdote.

They've moved on. Things will be alright.

No, it's right on. It's a joke.
