"Dumbest Team" belongs here like "tits" belongs on George Carlin's Seven 
Dirty Words. Put it this way. What do you prefer, Bill Callahan saying he 
has the dumbest team, or Vikings head coach Mike Tice answering questions 
as if there are no problems whatsoever with his team? 

F-n Hillbillies.... was a stupid comment. He said it, did anyone else even 
hear it, and he apologized for it. Gesture Gate got the coverage and the 
reprimand it deserved. 

I'm not 100% sure of the guy either, but could we stop making mountains 
out of molehills?

I see no conflict with this.

In an NFL offense, that's true, isn't it?

What does this have to do with integrity? Where is it that Bill Callahan 
has been dishonest about what he's doing, what's happening at Nebraska, or 
is the conflict come because what we want to happen and what is happening 
are two different things?

Could be true. Hey, guess what!!!!!! After all their gaffs, bad coaches, 
horrible fans, 'Bama has returned to the national stage.
