Please note that the source of this "article" is actually media gossip from a blog, it is not a fact that Lou Holtz is in hot water at ESPN for his political comments. Not yet anyway...
Just thought some of you might find this interesting.
Now that's what I call effective recruiting.
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.
