"It's play-off time in the NFL and a number of coaches have been fired because their teams didn't make the grade. It's interesting to see how these teams look for new coaches. They seek experienced successful leaders who have proved they have mastered the game.
Meanwhile Americans have elected a rank amateur to the biggest "coach" position in the world. Is this not the biggest sucker bet in our lifetimes?
And we gave this "coach" a guaranteed four-year contract! Come January the "game" will be on and all our chips will be invested in one player, a mediocre politician who sold us "owners" a bill of goods.
Unlike the NFL we not only could lose the "game" but our fortunes...and our lives." (to a man taking on his very first real job!)
This was a comment on Tony Blankley's column today (Jan. 31) by a person called "Jerseyvet" The column was excellent, by the way,
as is usual for Tony, one of our best champions.
