What he apparently said:
“Holtz said GOP leaders in the House are well positioned to “fire Nancy Pelosi” in November but “they can’t find the end zone without your support.” The message, filled with football references, asked supporters to give cash to help Republicans capture the majority on Nov. 2. “We are late into the fourth quarter of the midterm elections and the NRCC needs your immediate help to drive our Republican Party to victory,” the former Notre Dame coach said.”

If he said that, and it’s pretty blatant, I can just fathom the propensity of ESPN (**owned by ABC - see below) from times past. Could be so long, Lou. Let’s see all the lamestream herd begins its screaming outrage .. that seems to be the formula for them. They rile each other up and then announce that the ‘public’ is upset, which they then, of course, must handle.

Holtz has now become one of my favorite sports announcers!
Your the man Lou !!
Good for him, regardless.
He doesn’t need the money and if the Communists fire him, it’ll enrage the majority of the viewers and likely prompt more to vote anyway.
LOL! Soltys... what a dweeb!
Oh, of course. And don't forget Christine O'Donnell "witch" jokes.
I've liked Lou Holtz for many years, long before I had even an inkling of his politics.
He was a good turnaround coach, taking programs from mediocrity to a championship level. In fact, a large measure of South Carolina's success under Steve Spurrier is due to what Holtz did for that struggling program.
And his good-natured banter with Mark May is among the reasons I stay up late on Saturday nights for "College Football Final".
There are some Usenetters who make fun of Holtz because of his resemblance to Granny on "The Beverly Hillbillies" and I'm sure he takes that in good stride given his numerous accomplishments. At 73 years old, I hope he has many more years of involvement with college football.
These Libtards have a broken record about O’Donnell, Palin, Bachman, DeMint, etc.
They are so guilt-riddled with the fear of not supporting a black man EVEN AT THEIR NATION’S EXPENSE is the irrational nature of modern Marxism.
LOL! I absolutely LOVE Lou!
Have you read the comments? They are great!
If they want to fire Lou, he will probably go on Hannity’s Great American Panel and tell them to stuff it!
Thank you so much for the ping!
Thank you for the link. I see you are still one of the best researchers here! ;o)
“Republican and Democrats can both agree on one thing when it comes to Holtz: Dr. Lou is easily the worst thing about ESPN’s college football coverage.”
My FRiend, kcvl...that is total crap.
That’s my opinion of the article...not of you. ;o)
Just for context, in 2009 the monthly basic cable subscription fee for ESPN was $4.08 a month.
For comparison Fox News was $0.58, MTV was $0.33, and Comedy Central was $0.14.
Lou Holtz is GREAT!
Colin Cowherd is an interesting case. He's known to be against extremism on BOTH sides, because he sees that die-hard dogmatic views causes more problems than it solves, based on looking at die-hard sports fans--especially in SEC college football and Philadelphia-area sports fans.
“I remember the look of shock on Herbstreet”
Herbie’s a good TV guy, and I despise 99% of the talking heads out there, but he knows his Xs and Os.
I hope he IS a conservative.
(Off Topic) - I had breakfast with Lou about 12 years ago. How come he still looks exactly as he did then and I look 12 years older? This man is nothing but a bundle of inspiration ... even over bacon and eggs and a lingering coffee. He wouldn’t remember me, but I’ll never forget him.
If it wasn’t part of his ESPN job, then it’s none of ESPN’s business what kind of politics Holtz gets involved with. At first I thought this might have been something he said in the booth as part of his job. In his private life he can say whatever he wants.
“How come he still looks exactly as he did then and I look 12 years older?”
He already looked ancient 12 years ago, so there was nowhere else to go.
Colin Cowterd is nothing but a sh*t-stirrer. The thought of all the times he got his arse kicked in high school does bring a smile to my face.
