Check out this nugget of information from SPORTSbyBROOKS.com:
In an interview yesterday with Tim Prister of IRISH ILLUSTRATED, Charlie Weis made the following statement:
Let me ask you this question: You guys know about things that go on in different places. Was I living with a grad student in Malibu, or was I living with my wife in my house? You could bet that if I were living with a grad student here in South Bend, it would be national news. He’s doing it in Malibu and it’s not national news. What’s the difference? I don’t understand. Why is it okay for one guy to do things like that, but for me, I’m scrutinized when I swear. I’m sorry for swearing; absolve my sins.
Carroll also told the Times he talked to Weis and, “He apologized profusely for being represented wrongly. I’m not commenting anymore.”
Weis apologized with, “In no way do I have any idea what’s going on in anyone’s life other than the fact that rumors on the Internet can affect coaches’ lives in a very, very negative fashion“.
As part of his initial statement that the married Carroll was living with a grad student Weis said, “He’s doing it in Malibu.”
I’m confused. Weis’ original statement made it sound like Carroll was definitely living with a grad student in Malibu, yet then he claims that he was misrepresented. So either he was lying when he made the claim about Carroll or lying about being misrepresented. And one would think that if he were just using Carroll as an example, that he would have said, “But that’s just an example” or “Of course I’m just using the Malibu situation as a hypothetical.”
Weis should just keep his mouth shut before it costs him an opportunity at another job.
