Embarrassing on so many levels.

[Pop @financejone]

ESPN execs acting like wannabe mafia capos sending out their little lieutenant @finebaum threatening members of the #CFP committee. SMH. What a disgrace.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Citing a team as dominant because it’s up 24-3 is silly when it’s a four quarters game. Could just as easily say team was underwhelming in being outscored 21-7 rest of the way.

[Chuck Todd @chucktodd]

“Explains” is doing a lot of work here. This is embarrassing. Don’t put this guy out to be a punching bag. Kill the show.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Of course they don’t select teams, but terribly naive assuming they don’t directly or indirectly play a role.

[Austin Stinson @austnstinson]

LIE DETECTOR 🚨🚨🚨

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Hey, thanks for the kind words. It was a different time at ESPN & not sure the package could be published in the same form today.

[Michael Grange @michaelgrange]

@richarddeitsch @MikeFish012 Thanks for sharing Richard. I remember reading at the time. Amazing work.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

He’s fine. Understandably, loses any sense of a neutral storyteller on Notre Dame broadcast.

[Beerly Football @BeerlyFootball]

Do you like Noah Eagle as a commentator 🎤

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

TD if LG gets a block.

[Greentree All-American @NordyCane2]

In hindsight, we should have schemed a play for Fletcher, but Dawson was trying to break a tendency by running Mensah which I also get.

However, Congdon whiffs entirely on his man who makes the play. It’s comes down to execution. He’ll be better for it.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Ok, should know by now it’s a four quarters game.

[Andrea Adelson @aadelsonESPN]

Notre Dame exposing all the flaws we have seen at times for Miami this year along the offensive line and in the secondary. Add in the loss of their best player, and this is turning into a rout.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Fan is extremely lucky the coach only pushed him.

[No 3 Sports @No3sports]

NEWS: Mario Cristobal pushes fan that rushes field after Notre Dame upsets #1 Miami 🤯

Should Cristobal be fined?

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Targeting or the horse collar?

[On3 @On3]

Was this targeting?🤔

It was not called in the Notre Dame vs. Miami game.

(via NBC)

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

It’s so Herbie-like

[Will Applebee @WillApplebee]

Kirk Herbstreit dropping a “what do you people think of Alabama now???” while CALLING an Alabama game is so insane that even Chris Fowler made fun of him 😂

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Yeah, surgical procedure for the hell of it. Be smarter.

[Fire Brad White @gatorsplzlose]

Hell yeah dude stat pad against ACC bums and hit the heisman pose and then the second real comp comes to town you spray ketchup on your ankle. Best WR in the country guys!!

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

We?

[Albert Breer @AlbertBreer]

We don't get to have night games b/c we are the Big 10's biggest draw and most consistent winner by far. We're being asked to voluntarily limit what we spend by the conference to make it fairer on others, which will put SEC schools at an advantage.

At some point ...

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Stunningly, Belichick oversaw the UNC defense that allowed scores on six of seven Miami possessions. That’s insulting.

[Albert Breer @AlbertBreer]

I do know from covering Belichick for all those years—there's no bigger insult from him to another staff than "they do what they do".

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Kirby needs to realize times have changed. His coach at Georgia in the late ‘90s made $310,000 a yr. Kirby’s 10-yr deal is $130 million, plus a slew of incentives.

[B. David Ridpath @drridpath]

@MikeFish012 Such an idiotic thing for him to say. He is just lamenting loss of control. He is welcome to head to the NFL or overseas--just like they used to say to players back in the day when they fought for what was theirs.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

So, UGA & most programs invest huge sums in sports science developing impressive physical specimens & Kirby wonders if injuries are tied to players being soft in NIL era. Don’t need a PhD to determine differences between today’s game & when Kirby played in the ‘90s.

[SEC Mike @MichaelWBratton]

Kirby Smart asked about SEC carnage this season

"Everybody is practicing less, but everyone is getting injured more, it doesn't make sense."

"(Players) were definitely hungrier (in the past)."

"A lot of these guys, honestly, make more than I made until I was 40."

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

It’s just business & he’s good at his job. If anything, blame the ADs & college presidents

[Florida Missouri Man @FloridaMissour1]

We need to be talking more about Jimmy Sexton and how he's ruined college football.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Kirby, what was your head coach making back in the day?

[Ethan🫐 @SoftlyAugust]

HEARTWARMING❤️‍🩹: Kirby Smart yearns for the days when the players, who are the engine of a billion dollar industry that allow him to make 13 million a year, would receive 0% of the profit rather than the 14-15% they receive today.

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Yeah, college sports has a money problem. Maybe Congress needs to police insane coaching contracts.

[Darren Heitner @heitner]

But player contracts need to be capped 🤣

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

You understand the rules, right? If not, check them out.

[Chris Marler @Vern_Funquist]

Hey y’all…

UNC recovered not one but TWO onside kicks and was awarded neither.

Miami is who you thought Alabama was for all these years

[Mike Fish @MikeFish012]

Generational, really?

[OG @OG_com]

Next Saturday’s college football slate is simply generational 🤩
