Mike Zimmer's football team is more important to him than his own eyesight

Mike Zimmer had a huge year for football guys, getting his eye destroyed by a play sheet. And he came in hot, hot at the end because today, just today, he said that his football team is more important than his vision. He got like six surgeries on his cornea or whatever, and he was still watching film for 12 hours a day.

Zimmer underwent eight eye surgeries in 2016-2017 and famously missed only one game, frequently stating his commitment to the team outweighed health concerns.

Coach Ed Orgeron once held a live worm in his mouth for an entire speech to fire up his team

Today, a story came out that Coach O had a live worm in his mouth for an entire speech to his team. He said it was just to fire up the team... He said, I do whatever it takes to feed my family. Whatever it takes to win, I'll do the same thing. He then, after that line, pulled out a wiggling worm from his mouth that he had had in his mouth the entire speech.

This story has been confirmed by multiple former players and is a well-known part of Orgeron's coaching lore.

We have the 'scoop of the year' for both breaking the Adam Morrison bunker story and then proving it was false

Adam Morrison is like an apocalypse-like guy who has – does he have like gold and cash and he's got a bunker? ... [Big Cat:] And that was the scoop of the year, but we have an extra scoop of the year. [PFT:] Right. He actually doesn't have an apocalypse bunker. So we double scooped. It doesn't matter that the first one wasn't true. We double scooped.

The claim that he had a bunker was incorrect; the claim that he doesn't was correct. The 'scoop' is the act of reporting it.
