[Harmon, Josh]

This is more evidence to my theory that sports is soap opera for boys.

Furthermore.... this is a guy that worked in the NFL for a number of
years, some for Al Davis. He then goes to work in college for another
egomaniac.

What'd he learn? Look at how he answers all his questions.....  not just
this one. He rarely gives a straight yes or no to anything. It's a product
of that environment, isn't it?

Hell, I've been a consultant for nearly 20 years now. Ask me a question,
do you think the answer is every "yes" or "no"???? :)
