Cheatey Petey's Petty Track Record

by Nestor on Nov 30, 2009 7:54 PM PST in Football Comment 13 comments

I will try to make this my last post on the topic before finally pivoting on to other issues around the football. A number of BNers have done some great research in last 24 hours exposing Cheatey Petey's track record of being a petty, showboating, classless toolbag. bruin7982 brought up (via the google) about an incident Pom Pom had as the Jet's head coach, taunting a Miami Dolphins kicker (yes you read that right, Cheatey was taunting a kicker) back in 1992. Here was the AP story around it:

Of course karma bit him in the rear end immediately in that game as the Dolphins ended up winning that game thanks to a clutch FG by that kicker Pete Stoyanovich with 7 seconds left in the game. Again, thanks to bruin7982 for the find. Of course Petey's rapsheet go way beyond that incident. That classless incident only foreshadows how Petey was going to conduct himself like a "classless egomaniac" at the college level (showing no respect for the game).

We had LVBruin looking up all the times Petey decided to run up the scores as the head thug at South Central. Again these are just the key highlights from LV's post (with his commentary):

2003 Up 61-20 with 4:00 minutes left against Hawaii, 4th and 12 at HAW 39 Reggie Bush (USC) rushed up the middle (pooch punts are for sissies)
2004 Up 34-10 with about 7:00 left against Notre Dame, 4th and 3 at ND 39 16 yard penalty on Fighting Irish (this was a fake punt attempt, I repeat, a fake punt attempt)
2005 Up 63-17 with 7:56 left against Arkansas, 4th and 8 at ARK 17 John Booty pass incomplete (I guess surpassing the 70 point barrier was too tempting to pass up)
2005 Up 59-6 with under 8:00 left against UCLA, 4th and 1 at UCLA 47 John Booty rush for 1 yard to the UCLA 46 for a 1ST down (I guess the punter didn't suit up that day)
2006 Up 44-14 with under 2:00 left against Arkansas, 4th and 4 at ARK 20 Mark Sanchez pass complete to Travon Patterson for 19 yards to the Ark 1 for a 1ST down (why go for three when you can get six, it's silly)
2008 Up 62-0 with 2:20 left against Washington State, 4th and Goal at WSU 4 C.J. Gable rush for 4 yards for a TOUCHDOWN (who wants to bet Cheatey thought about going for two in order to hit the 70 point mark)
2009 Up 49-3 with under 5:00 left against San Jose State, 4th and Goal at SJSU 13 Aaron Corp pass complete to D.J. Shoemate for 13 yards for a TOUCHDOWN. (In all fairness, San Jose State does have a top secret 50 point play in their playbook)

Again, you can get the full run down here. Of course nothing wrong with "competing" till the final whistle. The information above perhaps wouldn't be germane, if not for the whining we have heard from Petey after the Stanford game. He is now trying to deny he never whined about what "Jimmy" did (that's how Petey addresses Harbaugh), even though the "what's your deal" is memorialized forever thanks to video on the internets.

No wonder Cheatey's spin this time around is even too much for T.J. Slimers (even though some of his colleagues from the Trojan Times predictably fell for it right after the game). The record Petey has built going back to his failed career in the NFL and the checkered one in college (built on pile on scandals) points to a nothing more than a petty sleazebag who never cared about respecting the game.

GO BRUINS.

Gary Barnett and Colin Cowherd

Gary Barnett said on the Petros and Money Show that there is no room in college football for what Cheatie Pete did against UCLA. Colin Cowherd said this morning that Pete Carroll is a hypocrite for complaining about Harbaugh and then pulling the same stunt against the Bruins. Interesting that Barnett intimated that CRN and Cheatin’ Pete have no love for each other and that is probably the reason why he rubbed CRN the wrong way.

Score one for T.J.

He came around for us. But it had to be an online article. That better get published in print.

i wonder if the cancellations prompted the times to be more

missed the point

Before you give Simmers credit for being pro-bruin on this issue, you should realize that the purpose of the article was not to take the sides of the bruins, but to acknowledge that the issue has been highly polarizing and does not have a clearly right answer.

The theme he kept going back to was basically, “I’m always right” or “I’m right because I said so,” something that is a known fallacy. Thus, by basing his argument on a fallacy, in addition to mentioning that 49% of the voters “must all be wrong” because he says so, he acknowledges that he cannot successfully convince “the other side” of his argument and that the positions of both sides are more or less matters of viewpoint rather than things that can be changed by logic. He is likening the issue to that of abortion or gay rights or any other debate that has a belief-basis. In so doing, he both calls out plasch-whatever’s argument and gives credit to it, while writing his own belief which happens to coincide with many here on BN.

Well simers gained some points in my book. I think I dislike him less than plashke but that’s not saying a whole lot cuz I hate plashke pains me everytime I have to see that hack on tv. I think it’s good to move past this now and focus on a bowl game and hopefully a strong finish in recruting.

While we're at it, why the F did CRN apologize today?

He could’ve cut Petey down with a very subtle remark about how important that play must have been for them, or how it was their best play of the game. What is this “if he was offended I send my apologies?” There’s no reason to take such crap and dignify the morons who are equating Petey’s BS with calling a timeout.

Come on, Rick!

Every time Coach Neuheisel takes the moral high ground it makes Cheatie Petie look worse.

But Bruins, don’t be seduced by a fishwrap article that mentions the obvious when the obvious is screaming to be mentioned. Remember that Cheatie Petie and the various trOJan propaganda arms often mouth platitudes when that sort of lie is needed. Think of the eventual four non-denial denial about bu$h, which was something like “No one named bu$h ever attended our school, but if he did, we think it would be bad for a former president to put up his mom and dad (who was also a president) in a big fancy house, but we didn’t know about it and couldn’t possibly have known about it, and we didn’t know anything about Mayo either.”

The ‘wrap has to mention these raging forest fires once in a while, but while you’re patting their douchebag writers on the back, ask why it is that (a) they only write about the obvious after it’s pointed out, (b) they only mention it once, and © they then go back to the love affair with all things trOJan.

No ’wrap reporter gets or deserves any credit for mentioning this story. They deserve and should get some time in the unemployment line, and Bruins can influence that by continuing the cancellation campaign.

CRN planned ahead

Now that I’ve had some time to reflect on it- I realized that CRN’s decision with the timeout was pretty much a nothing-to-lose decision (I would have said win-win but given that we didn’t win, that makes it a moot point).

If the play had failed, it would have still exposed Petey as a douche for attempting to run up the score while showing that our team still had a lot of fight. If the play did work out, which in our case it did, it would still show Petey as a douche (as we all see now). For a distant possibility, there could have been some miracle turnover. Regardless of what could have happened, CRN knew well enough that whatever happened be in our favor.

I think CRN knows Petey and his lack of class well enough- whatever opportunity he had to expose it, he took it, so even though we lost the game, Petey and his boys lost a lot more than we did.

OT Request: USC Rap Sheet?

Can anyone provide a link to the USC “rap sheet” that was being maintained by BN? I have lost track of it and have — of all people — a friend and Oregon Duck fan (and fellow SUC hater) who would like to glimpse it.
