Flannery: Drop The Football Angle Already

You’ve already got one of the worst political ads I’ve seen EVER. Don’t continue the mediocrity by sending out press releases containting endorsements from famous football coaches. Or do - I do need more humor in my life.

LEGENDARY FOOTBALL COACH ENDORSES FLANNERY FOR
GOVERNOR, APPEARS IN STATEWIDE PHONE MESSAGE

(Cleveland) Former Championship Football Coach, Lou Holtz of the University of Notre Dame, today joined his former players, Bryan Flannery and Frank Stams, in a recorded phone message that will begin airing statewide this week.

Uh, how can i best say this? WE DON’T GIVE A DAMN! Is this state really that nutty for football that they’d pay attention to this? Now that I asked that outloud (OK talking to myself and typing), I’m not so sure. Lou freakin’ Holtz. They even got a Woody Hayes reference, of course - which I’m sure they’ve been just dying to do! Where does Lou live again? Why should Ohio care again?

I’m not thinking even if I did live back in my home state of Kentucky that I’d want Pat Riley as my Governor. So stop it already!

Flannery and Stamms are facing a third and long.
They’ve picked this whole gridiron metaphor and are running with it, but appear to be ready to be dropped for a loss. Conventional wisdom would entail dropping back to punt, but they might have a gadget-play up their sleeves.

This ain’t it.

Any endorsement by a football player or coach is a negative to me. I think football embodies all the pathologies of American society and should be banned by law.
