Bill Burr defends Harbaugh on Eisen's Podcast

Nailed it. Bill Burr has the unmatched ability to be on point with just about everything.

I think it was Reddit but someone had said how Bill Burr is washed up and it's like which Burr have you been watching. Burr has been consistently hilarious for decades now and hasn't tapered off a bit. Some may not like his style or call him "misogynistic" but he's got a lot of prime material.
Also Bill's familiar with sign scandals. He is a Patriots fan after all.

Reddit is the home of lowest common denominators, misinformation and hot takes.
November 16th, 2023 at 10:40 PM ^
Bill Burr is every average guy who is also introspective.
November 17th, 2023 at 5:30 PM ^
.... and he's freaking hilarious too 😄

I'm still waiting for Michigan to open up their fabled binder....
What a fucking joke.
November 16th, 2023 at 10:44 PM ^
Still?

I don't think now is the time to do it. Right now it just seems like a deflection. It won't be taken as seriously now as it will in a few months when the talk about Michigan dies down.
They leaked the thing about exchanging signs so they could try to mitigate the competitive advantage argument.
I think you wait and then next year or even bowl season start dropping plunkies all over your rivals, at a time the media will focus on them.

IT DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST!!!!!
November 17th, 2023 at 6:56 AM ^
We have binders full of inside sources.
November 16th, 2023 at 10:56 PM ^
won't matter. news could come out tomorrow that another team did the exact same thing and nobody would care at all, because Harbaugh isn't their coach. Pretty simple, really.

Court jesters need to keep harping how the emperors have no clothes

Bill Burr is sort of a Michigan fan. He’s been to a few games. I believe his dad was from Michigan.
November 16th, 2023 at 11:03 PM ^
Yeah he is. Family is from Michigan. He had an IG video at the B1G house a few years ago.
His buddy Paul Verzi is an Ohio State fan so they rib eachother.

Bill is America's red headed sex symbol.

Bill speaks the truth

I don't disagree with anything Bill Burr said on the topic of sign stealing. I think all the anecdotes today suggest that this saga has turned into something much more precarious for Michigan than vaguely impermissible sign stealing.
If the University - from the President down through the Athletic Department - were ready to fight this tooth and nail, weather the media storm, and go under the microscope of the Washtenaw County legal system for over a week... and then 24 hours before their hearing decide they will accept an unprecedented disciplinary action from the B1G under the very public absence of due process.. something happened.
Either Michigan came to discover the B1G was withholding information until a conversation was had this afternoon between the league office and UM officials that would look very bad for Michigan in court; or UM leadership puckered their asshole in the eleventh hour at the thought of losing their legal battle.
I can understand if the university came to find out today that a legal battle would almost assuredly uncover Michigan was guilty of further, more serious transgressions than electronic sign stealing, then standing down was a play to avoid really bad exposure for the football program.
But understand, the President of the University now looks like a jackass, the Athletic Director looks like a jackass, Jim Harbaugh looks like a jackass.
These are intelligent people that understand how public narratives and the court of public opinion work. To the outsider, this looks like Michigan rolled over "when shit got real" because the B1G called their bluff and Michigan folded OR it looks like the B1G extorted the UM administration with information they disclosed less than 24 hours before a court hearing, and Michigan knew the fight would end worse for them than it would for the B1G office.
I honestly am hoping it's the latter than the former, because the university appears to have shown their whole ass and have given credence to everything that sniveling shit Finebaum, and Thamel, and Dinich reported. This is a significant PR loss for Michigan, and one that could lead to a major shakeup for Michigan. Powerful people at Michigan have been embarrassed, and someone will pay for it.

Completely agree. Michigan worked itself up into a self-righteous fit of pique then suddenly pissed down its leg.
Why bother hiring a powerhouse law firm if you're not going to use them? You never stop fighting if your cause is just. All the public statements or results on the field going forward will never change people's minds about Michigan's guilt. The players suffer.
At this point, the only way anyone in Ann Arbor redeems themselves is by announcing the day after winning the conference championship game that they're leaving the B1G.

Must be the latter. Big Ten was holding the high card and played it after Michigan pounded their chest and lawyered up. Michigan was prepared to go to the mattresses last week, so something was revealed to them in the past couple days that suggested they should just fold their tents. If that’s the case, Michigan circled the wagons without a thorough internal investigation.
