Another bit of irony. Bill Billecheck has been voted coach of the year. Seems if you are a player and cheat, look out, but, if you are a coach, step up. There is no way that anyone can defend this award with a straight face; none. Oh, he sullied the sport by cheating but he didn't have to, and his team is playing oh so great, so how can we not honor him? Old P.T. Barum proves right once again.
Don't bother, I know I'm in the minority on this one, but please, tell me that there is no one else who deserves it. Heck, they could have given it to Dungey, who has his team nipping at NE's heals (they had them beat) without the best defensive player in the league and a hall of fame receiver.
Actually, I'd be okay with it (never bothered me that Paul bet on the Packers to win), but the double standard employed by the league--its using a cannon to gussey up its image when a player or two has a bit of fun (wink, wink), and patting ole Bill on the back is a tad much.
What does it say to the kids? Prepares em for real life I guess. Later
