    He lost all credibility at the beginning of 2008 when he said he was “happy Dr Emmert kept Coach Willingham because he is a great sports educator”. Then at the beginning of 2009 he said he would’ve fired Willingham after the 2007 season.

    He basically admitted that he had outright lied to everyone a year earlier.

    And why? Probably so he could go to practice and jerk off with Chris Tormey - the guy who had the pictures before Johnny Nansen.

    Good riddance.

    Hate the dementia, not the demented.

    That’s not either. That’s just flat out lying so he can have access to the program.

    Same bullshit with the LP3.

    Everything you hear him say on the radio, he says the opposite when talking face-to-face with his guard down.

    This feels somehow worse to me than just being a moron like he comes off.
    I stopped listening to the Honks years ago, and so I have nothing against Baird at all.

    But one example I can remember is how he used to defend Neuheisel's recruiting on the show when critics called in. And then I was talking with him on the phone, and he went off on a mini-rant on how dumb Neu's recruiting had been. I remember him saying, "I mean c'mon, seven fucking wide receivers!"

    I was driving around Seattle once on business and the subject was Neu’s recruiting. Baird took it for awhile then went on a 5 minute, apoplectic rant about Oregon’s yellow Hummer that they used to pick up recruits at the airport. The Hummer had just been banned by the NCAA and drunk old Dick was pretty sure its use rated severe sanctions. It was the first time I’d heard the guy and I couldn’t tell if he was senile or merely shit faced.
