I don't see anything bitter about Burness - he is just a big fat guy who got lucky in his career and showed what a dope he is during a crisis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-4905930082470754062008-01-24T10:10:00.000-05:002008-01-24T10:10:00.000-05:00Those were just stupid remarks made by Burness. Yo...Those were just stupid remarks made by Burness. You would think someone who was Duke's Senior VP of Public Communications & Govt Relations would know once the lawsuit was settled to keep his mouth shut. He said this to a reporter, it was not a mistake. I suspect he is a bitter person. Duke just can't move on because they still have the same fools in charge. When will Duke fire Burness & Brodhead?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-18232343446097605962008-01-24T08:20:00.000-05:002008-01-24T08:20:00.000-05:00But it's a darn shame there has to be another expe...But it's a darn shame there has to be another expensive lawsuit to right the wrongs done by Nifong, the press and, sadly, some members of the Duke Administration.<BR/><BR/>Uh, I think you're forgetting a certain serial false accuser.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31806061.post-5237705067558637792008-01-23T23:54:00.000-05:002008-01-23T23:54:00.000-05:00I've been following the DIW blog and have read Un...I've been following the DIW blog and have read Until Proven Innocent and It's Not About The Truth, two very different and very interesting books. The part about Coach Pressler's family in It's Not About The Truth is very moving.<BR/><BR/>I don't know why Burness said what Presslier's lawsuit alleges and about which I don't think there is any doubt. I watched video of a conference at which Burness spoke. He seemed like a really decent guy.<BR/><BR/>Regardless of Burness's motives, I suppose it's possible that Pressler may believe - not without reason - that he has to completely and utterly clear his name in a very public way in order to have a chance to once again hold one of the head coaching positions at one of the very top lacrosse programs in the country. Or maybe that's not it. Maybe he just wants his good name back - to erase any doubt in the public's mind. One can't blame him for that. It's not about the money. it's about the truth.<BR/><BR/>As a lacrosse fan, my guess is that the lacrosse community knows Pressler is a first rate guy who was a victim of the Nifong witch hunt and Duke's frantic efforts to deal with a tsunami of publiciy, and that he ought to have one of the top jobs. But AD's and University Presidents may be gun shy about hiring him. If the lawsuit gives Pressler and his wonderful family his and their good name back then it will be worth it. <BR/><BR/>But it's a darn shame there has to be another expensive lawsuit to right the wrongs done by Nifong, the press and, sadly, some members of the Duke Administration.<BR/><BR/>in the meantime, I'm looking forward to going to Rhode Island to watch Coach Pressler's team play. I'd heard of Bryant before, but now I'm curious, curious to see how a Pressler team plays. I've looked at Bryant's website and it seems like a pretty cool place. i'm looking forward to visiting Bryant.W. R. Chambershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10827973470339715021noreply@blogger.com
