A class act. Danny Boy could take some lessons from him.

Penn said:- they'll drive this fact of the first 2 black head coaches going to the Superbowl into the ground.
Oh well, that's why we have remote controls..........
Penn said:But 2 weeks of questions, asking what it means to those guys, from every sportswriter who's able to push a microphone into both coaches faces?
Then, the endless repeats on ESPN........and other sports channels.
Gotta agree with otter; it's going to be boring to have to watch.
Larry Gude said:...no 'how long have you been a black coach' questions, we'd be treated to two weeks of....what??? Journalistic excellence regarding award winning pieces about Peyton and Eli's babysitters dog or which one was potty trained the youngest or how long have you been brothers questions?
Penn said:Yeah, the sportscasters will be looking at every angle they can dream up, trying to outdo each other! They'll over-analyse each of the games and then backtrack through the 2006 season to demonstrate how each team got there. Just to make sure we didn't miss a play.
By the time the Superbowl arrives, we'll know intricate and intimate details about each of the players we wish we didn't.
Larry Gude said:...it IS a big deal and it is proof of how much progess we, as a nation and as a people have made. These guyes EARNED their way in.
Also, had only one made it and lost, we'd have to hear that dumb story until a black coach won. This year, two weeks from now, it's over and done with. It will no longer be of any note that a black man can coach pro football at the highest level.
Good on us all.
