Rich Rodriguez Flabbergasted By News That He’s An Asshole

This Rich Rodriguez/West Virginia University saga has officially taken the helm of the most annoying drama in sports ship. Ok, it’s not as annoying as the Mitchell Report or the idiocy of Green Bay Packers’ fans, but it’s up there. The latest in the saga revolves around accusations that Rodriguez and his cronies deliberately shredded mounds of pertinent information concerning WVU’s football program. Rodriguez, take your position.

“There was an implication that I had all these secret files and I was throwing them away, but it’s simply not true,” Rodriguez said.
“There’s so many inaccuracies and falsehood and innuendo, at some point, you get tired of getting beat up,” he said. “It was that I erased academic files, then the next day, ‘Oh no, that didn’t happen.’ The corrections are on page six and the lead story is on page one.”

Damn right Page Six is covering your drama…Oh wait…what’s this. Oh, you’re speaking in the hypothetical. Well, just fix everything, Rodriguez.

“I know there is disappointment and hard feelings because it’s a small state and the program is a source of great pride, but this campaign is not helping West Virginia’s program,” he said. “You’re trying to hurt Rich Rodriguez, but you’re hurting West Virginia.”

Third person apologies, intertwined with back-handed compliments, will only lead to more drama. Great move, Rich.
