You Are Exactly 3-7, Coach. Exactly.
By Johnny Roosh
Hours after the Minnesota Vikings announced the firing of head coach Brad Childress, the team’s former defensive coordinator and now interim head coach uttered probably the dumbest, and sadly quite common cliche a sports personality can.
Leslie Frazier said the Vikings are a better football team than their 3-7 record
Uh, coach, it’s the games and the results thereof that, in fact, determine how good – or in this case bad – you are. That’s sort of the point of playing other teams, keeping track of the results, and ultimately promoting the better teams to the playoffs and beyond.
You are precisely as good as your win/loss record. There is no other measure.
Unless, there is a community service allowance we’re not aware of and that might be traded in for say a 5-5 record?
[checks the NFL rule book]
Nope. Sorry.
Maybe next year you will be a better team. How will we know?
You’ll win more games.

You can’t trust anything about a game where the ball isn’t round.
Of course, the Jets are 8-2.

Hey Clownboy (or ClownTransgendered)…what is 9 – 0? As part owner of the Green Bay Packers, I’d like to tell you that that is the score when the team from Titletown played said NY team.

The Clown cares little for football, Upchuck. He simply notes your season record is inferior, as is your football-mad, sad, little mid-western burg.

He really can’t stand there and say: “We suck.” That’s what sports cliches are for.

That’s okay my floppy-shoe-shod friend. We like it that you don’t like it here.
It’s the naturally riff-raff-repellent nature of our sad, little mid-western burg that keeps our quality of life so high.

“sad, little mid-western burg.”
This from a resident of New York – the second most politically corrupt state in the US and totally controlled by the unions.
Three of my neighbors are transplanted New Yorkers and I see a lot of New York plates around town. You can bet that with the weather here, especially over the past couple of days, they damn sure ain’t tourists! Apparently, lots of people find our “sad, little mid-western burg” quite appealing.
Like Johnny said clown, that is how we keep the riff raff out and that means people like you!

If we’re trying to keep the riff-raff out, we’d better try harder. Didn’t we apparently just elect Dayton?

Uh, I think Clown is talking about Green Bay. “Sad, little mid-western burg” would be pretty accurate.
November 23rd, 2010 at 2:22 pm
very true, the cold keeps the riff-raff in, too. The moving trucks can’t leave the state when the engine blocks are froze up solid.
November 23rd, 2010 at 3:30 pm
OK, but if we want to talk about riff-raff, Greenbay did help send Feingold to the Senate for how many years?

True, D. Angryclown rather likes Minneapolis and St. Paul, as second- and fourth-rate towns.
