This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

I’m not mad that he backed his guys by captaineclectic

I’m annoyed that he played the martyr over an allegedly unfair narrative (sorry Cross).

The “narrative” is fair. It’s 100% fair to write about how Kelly’s teams and ND in general lose these big games typically in humiliating and uncompetitive fashion because that is in fact what really happens in the real world. The questions that Kelly bristles at hearing will be heard until he quiets them. This is year 11 and he makes millions of dollars. These slings and arrows come with the territory. He needs to suck it the fuck up.
