  2. Do many people in Toledo care a cross country coach did this? Deadspin is a perfect outlet for this story.

    Great point, Alma.

    And with "bad" news and/or crime involving local business owners, Realtors, etc., you can take the bolded statement and multiply by 1,000.

    The British press is snubbing this story.

    You're telling your side on local TV, would it kill you to fucking shave? Your scruff adds to the skeevy asshole look.

    You've reminded me, DD, of former DePaul and Indiana women's basketball coach Jim Izard.

    Rumors were rampant he was sleeping with some of his IU players and he did end up marrying one half his age. A few years later, two fetuses were found jarred in a storage unit the woman, Izard, or both, had rented. Before that discovery, Izard committed suicide.

    One of the weirder stories ever.

    I remember the Trib article.

    I was "acquainted" with Izard if that means I covered his team a bit, interviewed him, but wasn't on a first name basis. Didn't want to be. There was just something about him that was odd.

    He didn't have a good reputation among some of his Big 10 colleagues, but I doubt that was as much a factor in never landing another D-I gig as the rumored screwing.
