After reading Bill Simmons’ column for years, this highlight came on Friday, but I forgot to mention it until now. Chris’ friend, Terry, sent me a e-mail while I was in class on Friday.
“Are you the Bill Y. from Somerville in Bill Simmons’ column today?”
Yes. Yes I was. After reading Simmons for years, I finally got a comment in the mailbag.
For those of you who don’t like to click through:
Q: Did you see Matt Mosley’s Hashmarks after the Dallas game? He described Wade Phillips’ exit from Dallas’ stadium like this: “(Phillips) loaded up his Lincoln Navigator, but then realized he didn’t have the keys. In one last moment of indignity, Phillips walked around the tunnel asking if anyone had his keys.” Not only can Wade Phillips not help a football team win, he CANNOT FIND HIS KEYS!!! And Jerry Jones is adamant about keeping him next year?
– Bill Y., Somerville, Mass.SG: Let’s add that to the Playoff Manifesto 5.0 as well.
“Rule No. 3a: Any time there’s a published story about a head coach trying to leave a locker room after a season-ending playoff game and being unable to find his car keys, you have to wager against this coach in the playoffs for the rest of eternity.”
A definite highlight of this short 2008 so far.
