Around SBN: NHL Trade Rumors: Do You Make A Move For Rick Nash?

Pete Carroll disgraces himself by throwing a tantrum during the Sanchez press conference because althought going to the NFL is the right thing for Sanchez, it is negative for Pete. As with everything with Pete Carroll, it is all about him.

JUST SHUT UP!

hahahahaha. I can see that guy crying in his keyboard like that dude “defending” Britney Spears.

How f’ing dare anyone criticize Cheaty Peaty for acting like a child and disparaging a 20 year old kid for seizing the opportunity to go into the draft when Teabag Teebow, Bradford and McCoy all decided to come back. JUST SHUT UP! Leave Petey alone!

There has to be a video of this out there somewhere.

A tantrum like that could come back to haunt cheatie in future recruiting wars. “Hey Recruit X, don’t think you can leave $c early (If you call 4 yrs early), or PC won’t support you.”

angry bees

When I cut and pasted your link, without removing the extra spaces, the video that came up was “Angry Bees.” I got a good laugh out of that. Then I noticed the extra spaces and it was cheatey’s press conference. Angry bees and Angry Pete… coincidence? I think not.

More from Peter:

Peter’s website

Carroll fleshed out his disagreement with Sanchez’s decision during a passionate exclusive interview with USCRipsIt about an hour after the quarterback’s announcement on Thursday morning.

"The facts are so strong against this decision," Carroll said. "After analyzing all the information, the truth is there — he should’ve stayed for another year."

Carroll cited a study that shows 62 percent of underclassmen quarterbacks who declare early for the Draft eventually don’t pan out in the NFL. He also pointed to Sanchez’s NFL Draft evaluation, which projected Sanchez as a second-round selection.

"Mark’s chance to increase his value and become the top player in college football next year would have been worth $10-$20 million or more — likely more," Carroll said. "One more year of running a team is almost priceless, so he lost the chance to fully prepare himself and become the very best he could be before going to the NFL.

"That’s why there’s a 62 percent failure rate for underclassmen quarterbacks."

During the press conference, Sanchez repeatedly referred to achieving a lifelong dream as to one of the reasons he made this decision.

"We have always been in full support of Mark pursuing his dream," Carroll said, "he just should have postponed realizing his dream another 12 months."

Carroll stressed that his advice to Sanchez throughout the last two weeks had the quarterback’s interests in mind, not his team’s.

"I’m trying to help him be the best he can be, and that would’ve been to stay in school another year and increase his value," Carroll said. "The facts are there. And he knew all of it, but that’s what he wanted to do it, so we wish him the best."

ROFL at Peter’s utterly transparent attempt to keep his prize QB and complete disregard for said QB’s decision.

By the way, I’d like to see the study where the “62% failure rate” was published.

“He also pointed to Sanchez’s NFL Draft evaluation, which projected Sanchez as a second-round selection.” (from above)

If Sanchez is drafted in the first round, the truth that Peter is a liar will be confirmed.

Sorry, "Pete Carroll is a Jerk"

is not “Breaking News”

But, demonstrating it yet again, is.

as plashke pointed out

when Moreno and Stafford declared for the draft early recently, their Coach RIcht had a slightly different take, and was even grateful for the players’ time spent at UGA.

What is meant by "failure"?

I’m curious about what The Humanitarian meant when he mentioned a 62% failure rate for QB’s who declare early for the draft. That they didn’t make a team after they came out? That they only played for a few years? I’m guessing that most QB’s who try to make the NFL don’t really pan out whether they stay in college for four years or not!
