Welcome to the Hardcore Husky Forums. Folks who are well-known in Cyberland and not that dumb.

Ken Griswold's football expertise?

Is he a former college quarterback?

An ex-professional coach?

Well, according to a quick Google search, no.

And yet K-Grizzle continues to mock anyone who questions his opinions.

What, exactly, is the foundation for Ken's gridiron knowledge?

Thanks in advance.

    Same as Mike Leech's.

    Couldn't agree more DDY. Seen plenty of people who did play that can't tell their ass from a hole in the ground, while guys who didn't are much more knowledgeable.

    Kem falls into the none of the above category. He's trying to play a part of football czar, while forgetting he's the CEO. He does have the market cornered on talent evaluators who neither played nor understand shit for the respective sports they cover. Between Beach, eklund, Fatters and the CEO, you couldn't ask for more weight with no substance.

    Kim's spectacular fucktardry has nothing to do with so-called qualifications. By the OPs logic we couldn't question our food at a restaurant unless we ourselves were once decent chefs at one point.

    Kim cant get players names right, what position they play, what the position is responsible for etc... very similar to the bitches on espn who sit between the male experts on any given set, discussing football. Very general knowledge without a fucking clue about the specifics of the game, how its actually p l ayed, why things are the way they are etc...thats Kim.

    On the radio show Kimber is that bitch, mediating the conversation between "experts" like Scott and fatters, who essentially are no more football-smart than the aforementioned bitches. Th e KJR shows are fucking disasters.

    When you have coaching and/or playing experience it matters so much in your ability to understand. Just look at Dick Baird and Eklund!!!

    Listen, Kim isn't super great at understanding football, but many people who do well at it haven't played.

    The proof of expertise is expertise, not 'qualifications'. They are a proxy for expertise and, as that is, are necessarily imperfect.

    I mean, my tree guy played HS football. Want his thoughts on Miley Cyrus?

    He once told me he thinks "there's nothing a black boy hates more than a fast white boy."

    So there you go: qualification in action.

    You have a tree guy?

    Yes, but he is slow black guy who hates whitey.

    Squirrel is most definitely white and resembles this troll doll (but with a glaucoma glassed-over eye) uncannily:

    I about died reading your post about squirrel. I've got squirrel's cousin taking care of my trees down here. Crazy bastard scaled a skinny 75 foot pine and took it down from the top, piece by piece, in wind that had that thing swaying 8 feet or more. Then he scaled some massive oaks and cleaned them up without any safety lines. Hard working SOB, but bat shit crazy.

    Somebody needs to link the cleaning out the dead wood rant. One of the funniest things I read on this site.

    Sounds like DDY and squirrel need to race each other in the 40.

    If you don't realize that all that is needed to be a football expert is to be a midget holding a football about half your size in an advertising photo and being sophisticated enough to know the differences between cabs and cabs that drink like Merlots while waxing poetic about how if all that was known was told that sleeping with the fishes would happen (but fucking that saying up in the process) ... then I don't know what to tell you

    It helps if you're straight, but it's not about playing as much as it is about having 2 Dads as a reference. The remarkable thing is that Kim's job has required him to consistently ATM for twenty years and he still knows next to nothing.
