Barlow Nolan Hitler remarks

I'm sure everyone's heard by now, but ex-49ers running back Kevan Barlow, now with the Jets, this week make some strong comments about his former head coach, San Francisco's Mike Nolan. Barlow compared Nolan to a dictator, and even to Hitler by name, saying that Nolan was "a first-time head coach with too much power" and "If it ain't Nolan's way, it's the highway." He later apologized, saying "I was kind of harsh on him, saying he's a dictator" and "If I could take it back, I would... I was very emotional. All I knew at the time was San Francisco, that was where I started my career, that's where my house was. It was a shock to me."

Well, what do you think of this whole mess with Nolan and Barlow?

Cool Re: Barlow Nolan Hitler remarks

The whole thing was overblown. He really didn't mean Nolan was a guy who would put millions to death. He was just using hyperbole, saying he was a tyrant...He should have probably not used that terminology, but please.. before 9/11, Rudy Guliani was called Hitler a million times here in NY and nobody said boo. Barlow apologized for saying it so it's case closed as far as I'm concerned.
