Josh Henschke says Petitti is "waffling"

No that is the sound of Tony's peepee getting pushed in.

I think that’s the Blue Wave or is it the Blue Wall ? Either way they hear it 

Pettiti is waffling because he is afraid of getting pancaked on PSU weekend.

instead of a comeback, I'd rather say it's the sound of a horseshit balloon, deflating.

You see that flash of light in the corner of your eye? That's your career dissipation light. It just went into high gear.-Brian McCaffrey 

My guess:  he is in his first year, most of which he spent on expansion talks.

He is new to the entire NCAA / college scene.

He might think if it is 13 against one he should line up with the 13, as he

works for the conference.

I think he probably doesn’t understand ball first and foremost.  And didn’t bother getting unbiased people who do understand ball.  I’m sure he listened to the bitching from coaches and ADs, didn’t think about their own bias and connection to the situation and tool their word for it.  This has exposed a lot of people who don’t understand the game and sign stealing.  He just read the planned PR campaign clippings without any critical thinking.  That’s the point of PR campaigns.  The conference and NCAA are not immune from going with the flow on public sentiment.  UM was caught flat footed and needed to be on the offensive earlier.  

My guess (and this is an opinion like assholes type guess) - he believed that this was actually "the biggest scandal in big ten history" and knowing he's a TV guy wanted to make it clear that he doesn't mess around. He probably thought he could send a message that he's serious and that he takes things seriously. And instead, he looks like a chump who got taken for a ride by 13 other schools.

If you believe "this is the biggest scandal in big ten history" then you basically have to go to the mat for that. Problem is, he did not know what kind of an organization he was dealing with. He rushed in trying to be a hero, and now is desperately searching for a way out of a mess he exacerbated.

The neat thing is, his mistake makes us look better because it made the whole scandal look foolish.

Brian’s “people are just in charge of things for no reason” has never felt more apt than these last couple weeks.

I’d propose a slightly simpler explanation. The man is not very smart and acting without a plan. He’s trying to put out each day’s fire and his panic is eating every bullshit sandwich served to him in the hopes it’s the one that makes this problem go away. 

Have you ever had 13 little bitches nipping at your heels?

My sources are saying that Ryan Day had all the coaches wearing eye black, tight shorts, yellow striped 70's socks yanked up to mid-calf and "just for men" T-shirts at the meeting which had to be intimidating or awkward.

Yup, the dumber this scandal looks, the worse he looks for feeding the flames of outrage amongst the conference

I hate that cheer but upvoted it here

It's funny because Pettitti is the one who got emotional here
