Coach Says . . . . . FOOTBALL SUCKS!!!

Well, well, well!!! We have a football coach who has come to hate football, and he says that football sucks!

Here is what I found at a web blog named the KROWNESS CHRONICLES under a topic that is titled:

7 Reasons Why Football Sucks!

http://krowness.blogspot.com/2007/09/7- ... sucks.html
If this does not make Football fans change their minds, then I don't know what will.

This is a quote from Bill Parcels who happens to be a "good" coach and has won championships in football, here is what he had to say:

"Come onâ??anyone who paid attention to my career must have suspected it," two-time Super Bowl-winner Parcells told stunned members of the press at the Cowboys practice facility Tuesday, reacting to their disbelief with surprise of his own. "When did I ever look like I was enjoying myself? When did you last see me smile on the sidelines or in the locker room? You must have at least wondered why I was always so angry with everyone around me."

"I'll tell you whyâ??I was G-d damn miserable," Parcells added. "FOOTBALL SUCKS!!!"

The coach expounded on his statements by explaining, in acid tones and with an exasperated manner, how he "just sort of fell into coaching" after playing college football at Wichita State, an experience he described as "pretty okay, I guess, at least for young men."

"But coaching? All that pressure, having to deal with all those dumb-ass players, just to play a game that's basically a lot of choreographed shoving?" Parcells said. "Screw that! Screw football! Seriously, I wonder sometimes why I was so good at it."

Parcells explained that he developed his trademark style of possession-oriented, run-first, ball-control football in an effort to not spend too much time thinking about a game that he found "basically pretty freaking dumb."

"No one was more surprised than I was when it worked," Parcells said. "Surprised and damn disappointed, really. Turns out football's really simple. Hell, a freaking ape could coach this game. Guys like Belichick, Cowher, Holmgren, you know why they're successful? Because they're actually too smart to coach football. Come to think of it, I bet they hate it too."

"The worst part of my success was that it meant if I wanted any kind of successful career, I had no choice but to spend my time dealing with really stellar guys like Drew Bledsoe, Lawrence Taylor, Keyshawn Johnson, and Terrell Owens," Parcells said in an effort to explain his often fractious relationship with most of his players. "Solid-gold citizens, football players. If they're not boring as hell, they're arrogant drug-crazed felons."

"You guys thought I was hard on them to make them better players," Parcells added, "but really I was hard on them because, except for Harry Carson and that one blond guy from the Giants, I hated every man who ever played for me very, very much."

Parcells said that, although the sport had led him down a cold, light-less path that seemed to lead down an ever-steeper path toward a premature stress-hastened death, it had taught him a few important lessons.

"First of all, never do anything you hate, even if it's the only thing you're good at, no matter how tempting the fame and the money are," said Parcells, who now regrets "measuring out my life one excruciating wind-sprint drill, one interminable video session, one bone-stick-stone stupid press conference at a time, until nothing is left at the tail end of my worthless life but regret and hatred for myself and others."

"Second of all, it's never too late to quit. Never. And sometimes it's the only right thing to do," Parcells continued. "And third, taking your hatred out on others, no matter how satisfying it may be, no matter how much those stupid wide receivers deserve it, is not really right. And I intend to make this the heart of my Hall of Fame acceptance speech when they put me in Canton in a few years."
This coach has had an awakening.

There is still some hope for humanity yet.

I looked this article up and it's from The Onion, which is a satire website. So don't try to pass it off as being real.

Yeah, I kind of thought that in might be from The Onion and that it's satire.

But anything about sports, no matter how ridiculous it is, and even it it's in The Onion, then it's still probably true.

You can't make this up!

I thought it was real too. It sounded pretty reasonable to me.

It sounded SO plausible, in fact, that I still think it's true. I think a real coach wrote it but didn't have the courage to publish it and so labeled it as satire. Such is the pressure to worship sports. Those closest to it can never escape its vacuum. We are lucky to have never been sucked in.

LOL at your reasoning for actually thinking someone said that.

Yeah i have to agree with you on that one. I can't imagine a coach having that kind of reasoning and thought skills to pull off a letter like that. He uses human emotion for things not directly related to playing the game. Also no coach would be able to see their little stars flaws (like rape, drugs and such)

? I don't know why. We have, in our letters section, several letters from people involved with sports who absolutely hate it but have to endure it for one reason or another. My favorite is the radio announcer who's forced to comment on sports.

I'll go better then that. OJ Simpson savagely murdered his ex-wife and her boyfriend. He literally sliced her head off with a friken knife. And don't pretend you think he didn't do it. If you think he's innocent i'd love to sell you some real good ocean front property in Arizona that i have for sale.

So if you want to go there with statistics, type in "football rape" into google. 10,800,000 hits.
