in the present, the only teams we've beat are winless.

Evan Wrote:So....I'm really hoping we don't bring in Holmgren, as the Gibbs debacle should just be proof why you don't bring in coaches after they've retired. But yea, Zorn has ~3 more games (until the bye) to prove his worth or he's out.
Blanche as interim head coach and Sherman Lewis as Offensive coordinator? Or does zorn get the rest of the season until he is canned?
next year Holmgren as head coach?
Re: How bout them skins? - Evan - 10-09-2009
yeah the holmgren thing doesnt make much sense the more i think about it.
Holmgren likes to have full control, and has no patience for Dipshit meddling owners.

typically people stick with the team they grew up with... even when they move.
Re: How bout them skins? - WRXtranceformed - 10-11-2009
I still pull for the Skins, only when they're not playing the Panthers
Re: How bout them skins? - stevegula - 10-12-2009
Your days are numbered Zorn!
And apparently Portis and Sellers are on the outs. That doesn't bode well for ... Portis.

Thought this would be a good place to link to Malcolm Gladwell's new piece about football and dog fighting.

Rumor mill says that John Gruden is interviewing for the Skins head coaching job.
I guess it could get worse than Zorn.

Using your head to hit things is bad.
It wasn't a bad read, but it didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know.

1. Dogfighting used to be cool in the US until we decided it was fucked up and they made it illegal.
2. NASCAR had a lot of deaths until we decided it was fucked up and they increased safety.
3. Boxing and football cause permanent brain damage.
4. Permanent brain damage is fucked up.
5. Boxing and football are fucked up.

Wait...WHAT?

Sorry, maybe? 6. Dogfighting and football are alike.
Re: How bout them skins? - JustinG - 10-14-2009
i guess my assumption was that your post was a summary of the article.....Hence my confusion. Cause i aint reading anything that long unless it has zombies or something in it.
Re: How bout them skins? - Mike - 10-14-2009
yes, it was a summary of the article. what don't you understand?
Re: How bout them skins? - Andy - 10-14-2009
Justin is not that smart.
point 6 is crucial, Mike.
But point 7 is "Why did we make such a huge deal about Vick's dogfighting, send the guy off to 3 years in jail, strip him of all his money but yet continue to watch football?"
The cool part about Gladwell's writing is that it's not moralistic. It just poses the question and the reader takes it from there.
