why should we believe him about anything else, especially important issues?
The 2005 Super Bowl was not entirely scandal-free. The scandal wasn't about the commercials, the halftime show or even the Philadelphia Eagles' pathetic clock management. It was about the Super Bowl program and Bill O'Reilly. The noted loofah user wrote the so-called end piece of the score card sold at the game. He waxed poetic about the inspiration that his own football career at Marist College in New York provided, observing that he once punted a ball backwards. But that, quoting here, "I won the national punting title for my division as a senior." O'Reilly concludes that "I guess you could say the end zone was the beginning of the no-spin zone."
But Mr. O'Reilly has done a little spinning of his own here. Others might call it resume padding or lying. The football office at Marist says that football was not a varsity sport there until 1978 -- seven years after O'Reilly graduated. When he played, it was a so-called club sport where players paid all their own expenses, and schedules and, most importantly, statistical record-keeping were haphazard.
So when he says he was the top punter in his division in the country in 1970, it does not mean what it sounds like. He was not in the NCAA Division I or II or the smaller-college NAIA Division I or Division II. O'Reilly in Marist played in something called the National Club Football Association.If Bill O'Reilly lies about a simple thing like his football career?
while you have provided no credible source, by your clear and concise reporting, your excellent use of quotes, and your overall knowledge of college football, i must make an exception to my oft-demanded source requirement. To wit: good job.
Now, to answer your question: we shouldn't.
Here's the real article.

For you, Romare, the only spinning you should do is when you're dancing, dancing, dancing.If Bill O'Reilly lies about a simple thing like his football career?
O'Reilly is a compulsive liar. Only idiots watch his show.
Ronnie Reagan and Lard Lad Limpboy also lied about playing football.
Boy George Bush was a gay male cheerleader. All the boys on the team called him "Lips."
O'Reilly is a loud entertainer nothing more. He has many people fooled into thinking he is full of.... knowledge, ha ha ha. Fooled you just like he fools the people.If Bill O'Reilly lies about a simple thing like his football career?
I don't think lying about football, fishing, or the size of your penis really count.
Keith Olbermann does it EVERY WEEK. This is why I just watch the game, not Keith's ugly face.
You should not, and I am a conservative. Try Jason Lewis.
