Eh, I guess. At the end of the day, I choose to look at the specific instance. I don't see " xxxxx xxxxxx Jim Calhoun xxx x xxxxx xxxxx" and assume it's TOTALLY AWESOME!

Agreed. How awful of them, awful of Calhoun to accept, and awful of boneyarders to think it's a nice honor.

Then you should be proud of your generous contribution to the V Foundation. Good for you.
 
Obviously past due for recognition like this. Very few people will ever be able to do anything as well as Jim Calhoun coached(coaches) basketball. Jim Calhoun coached teams in tournament settings were flat out scary no one wanted any piece of us we were mentally tougher and more well prepared than you every time. Some of the best moments of my life are because of this man. 04 ship as a student was pretty much the best moment of my life sans the birth of my daughter. Miss him.

It's an infomercial for ESPN. JC isn't getting an ESPN award if the "Calhoun Project" was on Fox.

At the end of the day I see 'Jim Calhoun ESPN Coach of the Year' and think "good for Jim." He's in the last year or two of his career. They are making up a video montage for guy, he'll get to stand up in front on an enthusiastic crowd, and he'll get another award to throw in the office. It's nothin' but good.
 
Hey, it’s no cardiac pump (or even a kayak), but there’s nothing wrong with it.
 
FWIW, Deep could be JC's biggest fan on the Yard. Based on 20 years or so of observation.

Calhoun's dad died of a heart attack when Calhoun was 14. My Dad died of a heart attack when I was 14. I was able to tell him that to his face when we handed him a check for 47,000 from the Yard and that money went to a life saving heart pump from the Calhoun Cardiac charity.

But, I don't get whipped up into a frenzy because he's getting an ESPY so I'm a .

Who said anything about being whipped into a frenzy? There’s quite a gap between that and taking the time out of your day to be a cynic on what could generally be considered a nice (and harmless) award/honor for JC.

Lord knows it’s quite easy to find real things to complain about these days. That you choose to do so over this is douchey in my book. If you don’t want anyone to comment on your posts don’t share your thoughts.

I don't care who comments on my posts. It doesn't make my opinion wrong and I can drag this one out all week. Have at it.

Nice award that he absolutely deserves. How lucky have we been to experience the Calhoun era. Whenever I hear the talking heads discussing the blue bloods (coach K, Williams, etc..) without mentioning JC I'm reminded of something Bum Phillips said about Tom Landry; "He can take his ins and beat yours ins and he can take yours ins and beat his ins". Truly a great coach.

You may be right about Landry, but I have heard it said about Bear Bryant on numerous occasions. Either way you could also say it about JC. One of a kind.

I don't think he has a problem with the award or Calhoun. I think he doesn't like the ESPYs. If so, I agree with him.

You are correct. He said it about Bryant and Don Shula, not Landry. Which makes sense considering the rivalry with the cowboys.
