Upon further thinking about it, I change my mind, I think he's rat-bastid a-hole. And not worth losing a wink of sleep about.


You sure would be, if you went to the press and lied about a conversation the two of you had about the call.

You didn't get it. Figures.

It was about losing sleep agonizing over a call.

You think coaches don't agonize over their decisions that went south?

You don't get 10% of the grief coaches get. The get it, depending on their level, from some combination of players, parents, league officials, school officials, the press, the TV talking heads, their barber, the convenience store clerk when they go in to buy their beer to cry in, and Billy's Grandmother. Coaches get fired for making too many bad decisions - you just move on to your next game.

Then they see in the news that a supervisor of officials put a bounty on a coach - "in jest" he said - and didn't even get a wrist slap. Dash posts that you should find a way to dump the coach in the OP every time and Ozzy agrees. Vendetta time? Wonderful!

And you think the coach is the one who is out of line?
