Petey...you're such a turd!

Here's a quote from Pete Carroll (courtesy of Dr. Saturday) that will make you shake your head and flash one of those incredulous little smiles:

Smarter than the average bear. Let'sgrab
the goodies and skee-daddle... to Seattle.
"[The NCAA has] to do what they do. They figure out how the thing is supposed to work," Carroll said in the interview. "I don't agree with much of any of it. It's unfortunate that kids, years and years after, are punished for what the NCAA is dealing with from years and years before. That's the most unfortunate thing ... kids that were in junior high at the time, or in grade school, are paying the price for it."


Where does one begin to fashion a response to Petey's moral (amoral?) observation?  He was in charge in Trojanland when all the dirty deeds took place.  Petey is certainly a smarter-than-the-average-bear kind of guy, so inferring that his flight to the Seahawks was simply fortuitous timing is a rather challenging leap of faith.  He cashed a lot of checks along the way, and those haven't been recalled.  So, PC has the dough, the new gig, a comfortable comfort zone between himself and the scandal...all's well for Pete Carroll, USC be damned (ok, so there is some redemption here, as Everybody Hates Lane Kiffin is the beneficiary of all this drek).

The guy always covered for us, so he's got that going for him.
