depends, do the Bucs have a GM and an owner who don’t want to work along with the coach and a star QB who is going to prison for a few years? if so, then I guess it’s a possibility. Petrino’s failures with the Falcons had nothing to do with coaching ability.

“When he was in Vietnam,” says Mike Marshall, “he told me that he was befriended by a little monkey. He lived in a hardback tent—you know, a wood frame and a wood floor—and apparently a monkey kinda befriended him. And it planted the seed of caring for wild animals for the rest of his life. He took care of that monkey most of the time he was over there. It kept him sane while he was there. I don’t know what happened to it when he left.”

Man…I can’t even imagine what his life would have been like in today’s world. All of the politicians and celebrities who were big pre-internet have to thank their lucky stars.
shit, when you put it that way I’m glad the internet was still in it’s beginning stages when I was in college.

Well said.
The idea of just cell phone cameras (let alone the ability to take video with phones) back when I was an undergrad sounds frightening.

This.
It’s going to be real interesting to see what happens when our generation starts running for serious political office. The opposition is going to have teams of digital detectives scouring the interwebz for pictures, blog posts, comments, forum rants, etc.
The first couple guys/gals down the pike are going to get screwed by this until the paradigm shifts enough that the bulk of the population understands that what you did online when you were young really doesn’t matter.

I was never big into taking photos of dumb shit, so that never affected me. Hell, Facebook blew up in 2003, so I was in college anyway.

It’s incredible what JFK was able to get away with. Can you imagine that shit today? In this media environment?
Today’s media would much rather cover a sex scandal than a policy briefing. The 24 hour news channels can’t get ratings from a policy issue, but if they yell at the tv about the moral decay of America for 24 hours a day, the ratings will come.

You’re going to have to wait a while for this to happen. Might be 20 or 30 years. A lot of the older haughty folks will have to go away.

Some stupid pol from Louisiana thought an Onion article on federal abortion funding was real. The internet just magnifies their stupidity and allows people to shout louder. This in turn allows us to make fun of stupid people.

it will be a mutually assured destruction policy in the future… but that’s assuming you won’t have the extremely rich who run for office paying a small fortune to have their internet history erased.

Even with the means and access, I wonder if an extremely rich candidate would even remember all the places/things that need erasing. I’m 29 and I’m sure there are sites I’ve visited/stories I’ve commented on in the last year that I can’t even recall. 25 years from now? Forget it.
It’s funny watching the current political generation come to grips with the Internet. There was a story yesterday about Gingrich’s campaign manager editing Newt’s Wikipedia page to remove references to infidelity, ethics violations, and previous marriages. The editors had to tell him to stop. Just clueless.

John Fleming. Ole Miss Grad. Shocking.
“In 2012, John Fleming mistook a satirical article about Planned Parenthood’s intentions to open an “Abortionplex” as a genuine news account. He posted the article on his Facebook, commenting “More on Planned Parenthood, abortion by the wholesale.” His staff later removed the posting and has refused to comment further on the matter. Onion editor Joe Randazzo said that The Onion is proud to count Fleming as a reader: “We’re delighted to hear that Rep. Fleming is a regular reader of America’s Finest News Source and doesn’t bother himself with The New York Times, Washington Post, the mediums of television and radio, or any other lesser journalism outlets”[28]“

eh, i could see a room full of professionals that have the means for finding internet history.
but by that time the internet will be housed on the dark side of the moon thanks to president Gingrich’s bold American moon base initiative that bankrupted the american economy.

“The UW-Madison Police Department is investigating a second allegation against John Chadima, the UW athletic official who resigned last month amid a report that he sexually assaulted a student at a pre-Rose Bowl party.”
The fuck is this bullshit? I have it on good authority it was “just sexual harassment.”

Guilty as homemade sin. Unbelievable.
