PFT: Schiano was reportedly a bully at Rutgers

Getty Images

When the Buccaneers hired Greg Schiano from Rutgers earlier this year, few league insiders had much to say.? Now that Schiano has ruffled the feathers of two-time Super Bowl winning coach Tom Coughlin by telling Schiano?s guys to play football during, you know, a football game, those who had previously been silent are teeing off.

Mike Silver of Yahoo! Sports writes, relying on multiple unnamed sources, that Schiano was considered to be a bully during his time at Rutgers.? Silver reports that Schiano was ?universally viewed as unaccommodating, intimidating and downright disrespectful by NFL representatives who paid visits to Rutgers.?

?It?s his way or [expletive] you,? an unnamed veteran coach told Silver.? ?He needs to back up a little bit, or he?s going to have a very hard time in this league over the long haul.?

We?ve got no reason to doubt Silver?s reporting, although we wonder whether the opinions expressed would be quite as strong if not anonymous.

That said, coaches are often jerks.

It?s a point we made last month, when ESPN devoted a segment of Outside The Lines to the scintillating question of whether suspended Saints coach Sean Payton is a nice guy.? Plenty of football coaches aren?t nice guys (cough . . . Parcells . . . cough . . . Belichick), for a variety of reasons both strategic and psychological.

Though Schiano has yet to establish much of a track record at the NFL level, his 11 years at Rutgers rubbed scouts the wrong way.

?Penn State was off limits for all but two days a year, but they didn?t make you feel as unwelcome,? another unnamed source told Silver.? ?At Rutgers, it was a really unpleasant day.? You were made to feel like an outsider, like you weren?t welcome. And everyone was scared to talk to you.

?[Schiano] tried so hard to be a hard ass and went out of his way to be rude.? When you?d pass him in the hallway, you might say, ?Good morning,? and he?d look at you like you?re a [expletive] idiot.? A guy like him doesn?t realize that probably half of us played the game at a really high level ? it?s completely condescending.? He would go out of his way to make you feel as uncomfortable as he could.?

The disrespect, per the report, went farther than interactions.? Scouts were given strangely limited access to Rutgers practices.

?There?s a box, a little bitty box, way away from the field,? one of the sources told Silver.? ?All the scouts had to stand in that box like a bunch of little kids.? You couldn?t step out; you literally had to stand in it.? My feeling is that given who was chosen to coach the Bucs, all Tampa scouts should have to stand in a box at every college in America.?

Of course, none of that stopped Buccaneers G.M. Mark Dominik from hiring Schiano.? And if Schiano is successful at the NFL level, he?ll be no different than any of the other coaches who were primarily known for being big jerks until they put pelts on the wall ? and even after.

Let?s face it, while the resentment of Schiano has caused many to embrace Coughlin, he was regarded as a big jerk, too, until those Super Bowl trophies started to pile up.

Bottom line?? Plenty of football coaches are big jerks.? (Not all, but plenty.)? Some are worse than others.? And winning is the best way to get people not to notice, or to care, about any antisocial tendencies that so many football coaches seem to have.

For Schiano, that puts even more pressure on him to win at this level, or he?ll soon be back at a college program, possibly making NFL scouts feel even less welcome.

Tips To Keep You On Top With Commercial Real Estate | Tic Tracker

You probably have a better chance at making a profit in the commercial real estate market than in the residential real estate market. Sometimes, it is hard to know what is a good opportunity for you, though. This article provides a lot of useful information that will make you more knowledgeable of the factors involved in commercial real estate. Learning this information, and following the advice provided, will enable you to make smart and profitable commercial real estate decisions.

You should go ahead and advertise any commercial property for both far and local people. Do not assume that only local investors will be interested. There are many investors who are interested in financing properties which are outside their area as long as they are a great deal.

Experts recommend not purchasing unit blocks that have fewer than 10 units in them. This is because they can be more difficult to manage than smaller properties. Look into your unique situation to make the best decision.

When you are looking at a commercial property, be sure to look at the neighborhood, too. If you are buying the property in a more expensive neighborhood your business will most likely be a lot more successful, people there have more to spend. You might want to buy a property in a less affluent neighborhood if you are selling products or services that less affluent people would find attractive.

TIP! When purchasing commercial real estate, try to look at opportunities that allow you to buy bigger. Taking care of more units does not cost much more and this will bring down the price of every individual unit.

Put a high priority on emergency maintenance needs. One way to develop such a list is to ask current commercial investors who they use in the event of an emergency repair. Know the phone numbers, and be aware of their response time. Consider how an emergency will affect your business operations, and have an emergency operating plan in place.

Keep letters of intent simple by tackling large issues before sweating the small stuff. This will help to reduce some of the tension in initial negotiations and will also make gaining agreement on some of the smaller issues much easier.

Use of a digital camera is a simple and effective strategy. Make certain your photos highlight specific defects such as carpet spots, wall holes and bathroom discolorations.

TIP! Consider the features that your business requires prior to searching for commercial property. You should know what kind of space you will need for your business.

Establish an online presence before jumping into the market. Add yourself to LinkedIn, or better, create your very own website. You are also going to want to check out search engine optimization because this can increase your website?s rank on search engines. The goal is that people can find out who you are by simply punching in your name in a search engine.

By now, you should feel comfortable with the fundamentals of business real estate. Try to stay flexible and always try to think on the fly as you move throughout the real estate market. When you position yourself like this you can make sure you make the best decisions possible, and you can maximize your profit ability as well as give yourself a better

Hulu Plus, HBO Go and Max Go apps for Android updated with support for closed captions

Sound familiar? Just days after the mobile apps for HBO, Cinemax and Hulu added closed captions support on iOS, a similar slew of upgrades have come to their apps on Android. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any change in the number of supported devices for any of them at this time. Hulu's upgrade also adds on the option to share videos via Twitter, Facebook and other services, although the 10 second rewind button added on iOS does not appear to have made the cut. As usual you should see the new versions rolling around in the app store, hit the source links for more info.

Man mauled after jumping into tiger pit at New York's Bronx Zoo

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Siberian tiger critically injured a man who jumped into the big cat's den at New York's Bronx Zoo on Friday, retreating only after emergency workers scared it off with a fire extinguisher.

The man, 25, was riding the zoo's elevated monorail in the afternoon and leapt from a car, clearing a fence around the tiger enclosure, according to a statement from the zoo.

He was taken to a local hospital in critical condition. His condition was later upgraded to stable, a spokeswoman for the Jacobi Medical Center said.

Zoo and fire officials said the man received bites or puncture wounds on his arms, legs and shoulder during the roughly 10 minutes he was alone with the tiger.

"One leg was severely injured," said Frank Dwyer, a fire department spokesman, although he could not confirm early reports the man lost a foot in the incident.

In rescuing the man, the zoo's emergency workers used a fire extinguisher to repel the tiger, then ordered the man to roll under an electrified perimeter wire to safety. The staff had been prepared to use deadly force if necessary, zoo director Jim Breheny told a televised news conference.

"If not for the quick response by our staff and their ability to perform well in emergency situations, the outcome would have been very different," the zoo said.

The tiger involved is an 11-year-old, 400-pound (180-kg) male named Bachuta, Breheny said. The director said the zoo would review the incident but would not put the tiger down or take it out of the exhibit.

Breheny said the incident was "just an extraordinary event that happened because somebody was trying to endanger themselves."

"The tiger did nothing wrong in this case at all," he said.

In July, tigers at a zoo in Copenhagen killed a man who scaled a fence and crossed a moat to get into their den, and wolves at Sweden's largest zoo killed a zookeeper in their enclosure in June.

Stocks higher in US; in Europe, vows to save euro

NEW YORK (AP) ? U.S. stocks traded higher Friday, with investors latching on to a few mildly hopeful signs about the economy.

Shortly after noon Friday, the Dow Jones industrial average was up 43 points at 13,640. The Standard & Poor's 500 was up six to 1,466. The Nasdaq composite index was up 16 to 3,192.

Homebuilder KB Home swung to a quarterly profit by selling pricier homes. The stock popped $1.46, or more than 11 percent, to $14.57.

Darden Restaurants, parent of Olive Garden and Red Lobster, also reported a higher profit in its latest quarter. The stock rose $2.47, or more than 4 percent, to $57.19.

Apple, propelled by the frenzy around the release of the iPhone 5, rose $6.12, or just less than 1 percent, to $704.82.

And in Europe, Italy's premier and Greece's prime minister met and repeated their conviction for "the absolute need to safeguard the integrity of the eurozone," according to a statement from the Italian leader's office. Spain appeared near to working out terms for requesting a bailout from Europe.

Both developments points to a Europe that, while still grappling with a heavy debt crisis, is committed to finding a solution.

Still, the market's rise Friday and in recent weeks seems like a paradox against a backdrop of high unemployment, unimpressive economic growth and a looming fiscal cliff, when spending cuts and higher taxes could kick in this year.

That's because the rise has been more about the old adage to not "fight the Fed" rather than hope that the economy is proving.

This week, the Bank of Japan agreed to a new program where it would buy assets to try to prop up the country's market. Last week the Federal Reserve made a similar comment, and before that the European Central Bank did.

But the actions don't mean the economy is improving. In fact, they mean quite the opposite: that the central banks think the economy is bad enough that it can't survive on its own.

Timothy Leach, wealth management chief investment officer for U.S. Bank in San Francisco, described the central banks' actions as positive, but said they're buying time more than fixing underlying fiscal problems.

"But at least they're taking some of the pressure off," Leach said, "allowing policymakers some additional time to try to achieve those real solutions."

Signs of the underlying trouble were abundant.

The Labor Department reported Friday that unemployment rose in 26 states last month. The World Trade Organization cuts its estimates for growth in global trade this year and next.

Darden, despite its higher profits, noted it has to rework the menu to attract customers wary about spending.

Greece still hasn't agreed to a detailed plan to cut spending, which it must do to get the bailout money from Europe. Germany's finance minister argued that Spain doesn't need a second aid program, considering how it already got a bailout for its banks.
