"EARN YOUR PAY" IS THE NEW "SEIZE THE DAY"

What is that makes this Lou Holtz clip from ESPN so strangely compelling?

• If, as he says "players play, coaches coach and administrators adminstrate," then why is the ex-coach wearing a Stephon Marbury jersey?
• The football guy who believes basketball teams play in a "stadium;"
• Pondering the fast-fading memory of the last time both ESPN and the New York Knicks were good;*
• Contemplating that what the world needs know is a movie that combines the awful Robin Williams film Dead Poets Society with Eddie, the movie where Whoopi Goldberg (don't ask) coaches the Knicks.
  
  Can't you see some real-life Abe Simpson delivering rambling, pretentious speeches in an effort to light a fire under a losing team?
  
  Considering the size of the Knicks payroll, it would even have the perfect title: Dead Weight Society.

That's all for now. Send your thoughts to neatesager@yahoo.ca.

(* The last time this was true, Holtz was still coach at Notre Dame.)
