On Tuesday, Lincoln Journal Star sports columnist Stephen M. Sipple said the tipster who gave Deadspin the recording of Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini’s F-bombs was a “degenerate” and a “weasel.” The coach, according to Sipple, is “outspoken … brazen,” and “sometimes uses harsh language.”
On Wednesday, Lincoln Journal Star sports columnist Cindy Lange-Kubick guessed that Deadspin’s tipster is “male, 28-35, Blackshirts flags on his F-150, C-minus in freshman composition.” She adds: “I was at a ‘Make a Wish’ dinner and Bo Pelini and all his coaches were surprising a sick kid with a car. I think someone has video.”
I’m seeing a big Pelini feature on the front page of this Sunday’s Journal Star, with an “exclusive” interview with the coach.
