Expertism

I haven’t read Cod­ing Hor­ror in a long time but I was going through my badly neglected RSS feeds tonight and ran into Strong Opin­ions, Weakly Held and it really struck a chord with some­thing I’ve been giv­ing some thought to for quite awhile. It’s a deep dark secret I’ve got, one I’ve been har­bor­ing

RIP, Georgia Frontiere

For my non-football fol­low­ing read­ers (which is, umm, all of them prob­a­bly), Geor­gia Fron­tiere was the owner of the St. Louis Rams, pre­vi­ously the Los Ange­les Rams. In a world dri­ven by testos­terone, Geor­gia didn’t exactly fit but she ran a good fran­chise and truly cared for her play­ers and employ­ees, some­thing that’s typ­i­cally lack­ing

Some People Can Coach, Some Can’t

So San Fran is down by 7 with under two min­utes to go, they have a 4th and 10 on the 28 or so. If they kick a field goal, they still have to score a touch­down to win. As a coach, you have a chance to send a mes­sage to your play­ers that you

Norv Turner is a Bad Coach

This comes as no sur­prise to any­one who watches any foot­ball but fir­ing Marty Schot­ten­heimer was the dumb­est thing thing A.J. Smith has ever done as gen­eral man­ager of the San Diego Charg­ers. It is rapidly becom­ing appar­ent that Norv Turner has no busi­ness being a head coach in the NFL. The Charg­ers have far

God Tells Baptists Dancing Is Off-Limits but Pissing On Bar OK

Appar­ently, an assis­tant foot­ball coach at Bay­lor was caught Sat­ur­day night tak­ing a leak on the bar at a local pub. Yup, you read that right, on the bar. The coach had been drink­ing the hard stuff for a lit­tle while and “appar­ently thought no one was watch­ing him”. To which I say, this is

God Busy Helping NFL QB Back Into Game, Forgets Everyone Else

By the hand of God, Jon Kitna returned to the game against Min­nesota Sun­day as he led them to an over­time win.  Mean­while, lots of other peo­ple who God found unde­serv­ing gen­er­ally had bad things hap­pen to them like death.  While God loves Jon Kitna, he hates peo­ple like me who had the Lions at

Great News For The NBA

David Stern has rein­stated the worst ref in his­tory.  Oh wait, no that’s really not very good news, is it now?  Why in the world you’d rein­state an employee who basi­cally tried to pick a fight with another employee is beyond me.  After the whole “NBA Ref Shaves Points For the Mob” fiasco, I’d think

Personal Responsibility Hits a New Low

Josh Hancock’s dad is suing the restau­rant that served his son the alco­hol before he got in the car and rear-ended a tow truck. He’s also suing the tow truck dri­ver and the dri­ver of the stalled truck the tow truck was help­ing. It’s impor­tant to note that Josh Han­cock had a blood alco­hol con­tent

That’s Rich

CBS has fired Don Imus over his com­ments on the Rut­gers women’s bas­ket­ball team. While I’m amazed this has turned into the brouhaha that it has, I can under­stand fir­ing him in this media crazed world we live in. But this com­ment by Leslie Moonves, pres­i­dent of CBS is pretty rich: “There has been much

It’s About Damn Time

All charges in the Duke (non)-rape case have been dropped.  This has obvi­ously been the result of an over­reach­ing DA, one that now stands to get dis­barred because of his actions.  Three young men’s lives have been trashed in the media and beyond all on the account of an accuser with seri­ous cred­i­bil­ity issues and
