    This is hilarious, especially for anyone who read his preseason article ripping ND. After reading the article below, I have a newfound respect for the guy.

    I would say that is a good article and RR ate his crow very well.

    I don't know if that means he will ever be in the good graces of the Irish fans but hey that's not my concern! :)

    I'll have to check this out in a minute. I never hated RR or anything. I firmly believe everyone's opinion is valid and that everyone's opinion is subject to ridicule. The guy does opinions for a living. It comes with the territory. I'll hand it to him, he stubbornly clung to his when lesser men would have given up and then owns up. If the Irish lose, I expect some sort of 'I told you so' but it will be tongue in cheek and totally taken out of context.

    Did he ever get around to polishing KLM's helmet?
