Re: Be proud for the person, not what he looks like | |
The last 2 posts have made great points.
jmb - you are correct in that it's a great accomplishment. IMO, it's a shame the rules of interviewing minority coaches exists - I think it hurts the minority coaches more than it helps. Owners already have a good idea who they're going to hire before they start - and in some cases the minority interview is just a formality. I think that's using these people as a side-show. In today's NFL, coaches are getting (or not getting) jobs based on their abilities - not the color of their skin.
In respect to a classy Super Bowl - that it should be. And what a classy game that was played vs. New England and Indianapolis. Those two teams have hated each other for years now with the Patriots always getting the last laugh - when it counts. Nice to see Indy get over that hump. Lovie and Rex were beaten up by the media and fans most of the year (including ribbings from me). Nice to see them give out a "in your face" win over New Orleans - even though I badly wanted that story to continue.
