- The Sporting News killed a bit of time by compiling a list of the 50 greatest coaches of all time, regardless of sport. Vince Lombardi is the highest ranked NFL coach at number two, and he’s joined in the top five by Don Shula (5). Bill Belichick (20) is the only active coach on the list. Of course all that really matters to me is Joe Gibbs (17) narrowly besting Tom Landry (18). So suck on that, Texas. Of note: Landry’s hat finished 49th, just ahead of some NHL coach nobody cares about.
- Could Mike Vick be headed to Pittsburgh? Chris Mortensen thinks it’s a perfect fit, but some guy from Bleacher Report begs to differ. So between Mort and BR only one can be wrong. I don’t know who to not believe! In other Vick non-news, the man himself claims to be close to a return. However our good friend Peter King thinks Vick’s full of shit. Imagine that! Leave it to King to call out Vick for being less than truthful all the while breathlessly regurgitating every word that comes out of Camp Favre.
- Redskins training camp began yesterday. It’s a great place to go if you enjoy gathering before dawn, purchasing Jason Taylor jerseys for next to nothing, or getting together with some like-minded Hokie fans. Aside from that it’s pretty fucking pointless.
- Obama unicorn art. It doesn’t have anything to do with football, but some things just have to be seen. And if anyone can tell me why Obama is standing in between Stalin and Hugh Laurie I’m all ears.
- In more Vick non-news, somebody went to Craigslist to post their claim that they saw Vick on a plane heading for Boston last night. The post has since been deleted by the author, because Belichick got to him! It’s going to be great when this is all over. 42 more days until the season starts. If the NFL were smart they’d come up with an advent calendar to mark the occasion. They could fill it with Xanax to make the next six weeks float by in a cloud.

Michael Vick deserves a Puppy, like R. Kelly, the pedophile, should be left over night unsupervised with an underage girl.
gibbs won without any semblance of consistant qb play. He had a system and it worked for him, not super stars
I don’t know about phil Jackson
but Chuck Noll at 15 is good enough for me–He is criminally under rated.
Also, if you talk to anyone who played with him or around him Herb Brooks was a great great coach(He beat the soviets with scrubs)
he just didn’t coach the oilers or islanders in the 80s.
It was hard to win back then
Must have been the Interstate battery clamped to Gibbs’ nuts that put him ahead of Landry.
Herb Brooks at 50? Jesus Christ. He wouldn’t even be in the top 100 coaches of all time for the NHL alone! He had a losing NHL coaching record!
No Captain Lou Albano on that list? WTF.
Geno Auriemma? Girls sports don’t count!
And the only time Herb Brooks should be ranked as low as 50 on a top coaches’ list should be for driving coaches.
Women’s basketball coaches on this list? What a fucking joke. Yeah, real hard to be a great coach when there are only two good teams in the whole country. What about the coach of the Princeton scrabble team — they won like 12 titles in a row!!
This post needs more of that hot blonde.
And if anyone can tell me why Obama is standing in between Stalin and Hugh Laurie I’m all ears
….(shaking my head)….it’s SO obvious. Lets break it down:
-Stalin is holding a bottle of pills (clearly the new diprivan in pill form..the latest party kraze) and looking curiously towards Obama’s naked president junk
-Hugh Laurie is looking at Obama with the type of self-important vagina-punch face that only he can capture…and probably thinking of who he can look smugly at and judge next
-Obama is looking upwards as if there’s some hot intern ass hovering along the horizon in the distance…plus the obvious symbolism of the sword signifying mutual masterbation
-And this painting shows all the sensibilities of a young James Evans Jr (pre “Sweet Daddy” days)
these facts are indisputable. so when we do the math it all becomes clear
the three of them are constructed collectively to signify the perils of not finding a solution to the Banana Trade War
Eh. Those Obama pictures sure aren’t phallic enough, are they?
“Leave it to King to call out Vick for being less than truthful all the while breathlessly regurgitating every word that comes out of Camp Favre.”
QED
Luckovich… my bad.
Mike Lukovich is fucking hilarious. He’s the only reason I read Newsweek in High School.
Uh…which link?
@ illbill: Very well played.
FIX YO’ LINKS!
Yeah, I’m no 49ers fan but Walsh below Belichick? He’s the father of the West coast offense. Puzzling.
I’m assuming they gave points for adultery.
Funny how the dog fighting ring was found on Clifford Street. Clifford, The Big Dead Dog!

Ben could teach Vick how to love and respect dogs.
I honestly didn’t think Vick was gonna return, but if King says he isn’t, he’s probably gonna sign first of the week…
that’s nothing…I want to see Obama having a beer with BDD and Favraro.
And if anyone can tell me why Obama is standing in between Stalin and Hugh Laurie I’m all ears.
The Obama art got some love on Tosh.0 last night.
I believe it had something to do with Obama making socialized medicine.
The Obama art got some love on Tosh.0 last night. They even commissioned a custom piece from the artist.
That Obama unicorn thing is just disturbing.
Peter King’s opinions are about as useful as eating soup with a fork. When will a bounty be announced on Latte McShitty anyway?
Landry took the Cowboys to the playoffs for some 20 consecutive years. Gibbs doesn’t compare. You must be kidding.
Bill Walsh only # 26? Also, I bet Herb Brooks could coach the Lions to 6-10 at least.
Weed makes a nice floating time cloud, too.
why is Obama battling with Wade Phillips?
I think the Vick to Pgh thing is true. In fact, he may already be here.
