Inmate Bowl
Published: 1/19/2009 4:26 PM
Last Modified: 1/19/2009 4:26 PM

Fans of OU and Texas football teams, among other major powers, scored big over the weekend when, during the Arizona-Eagle NFL game, a Cardinal receiver started screaming at his offensive coordinator and had to be pulled away by a teammate.

This outbreak didn't happen during a time out, or before or after an insignificant play early in the game.

It happened during Arizona's fourth-quarter drive for the touchdown that could (and did) send it to the Inmate Bowl, also known as Super Bowl XLIII.

Such outbursts prove that the only people who would be a pro head coach are the ones who can't get college head coaching jobs.

Pro coaches are figureheads charged primarily with keeping players from harming one another, or the public.

There are, at the moment, six coaches who have won Super Bowls and are not coaching in the NFL.

For obvious reasons.

The players.

Quick, name the coach of the best team in the NBA.

Time's up.

Mike Brown.

As to the Inmate Bowl itself, here's an early thought.

Arizona plus seven points against the Steelers looks good, and could look better, as it might tick up a fraction.

I agree with every word.I am going to regroup for a while and try to get over it.

Do you seriously think any NFL head coach cares if a player gets into a fight with another player? Even if it's his STAR media gobbler? I hardly think it's their 'primary charge of duty', but you've been mistaken before, right?

What about Kurt Warner's little tiff with the same OC in the first quarter? Coach Kenny Wiz didn't even care...it's the playoffs, it's serious, people getting hyper in a violent sport...what are the chances of that?

To be expected from MOP.

What we've have festered is generally a group of thugs, millionaires on parole, who with the help of millions of adoring rubes, demand the audience pay large part of the disposable income to watch gladiators on parade.

Hey, if you can remove the opposing quarterback's head from his torso legally on the field to the throngs of cheers, why can't you shoot somebody at the nightclub and get an equally positive response?
