The Sports Truth

In the running back’s defense, San Francisco Coach, Mike Nolan, has been to Germany. And the new member of the Jets has apologized for the following remarks, but that doesn’t mean they aren’t worth running:

“He walks around with a chip on his shoulder, like he’s a dictator, like he’s Hitler,” Barlow said after he was traded. “People are scared of him. If it ain’t Nolan’s way, it’s the highway.”

And a coach that rules with the proverbial iron fist NEVER wins anything. Pat Riley, as coach and GM of the Heat, didn’t just win the NBA title. Bill Parcells has never won a Super Bowl. Lord knows Ozzie Guillen is a gentle, flexible manager.

Barlow is an idiot. We are at least glad he tried to take back his comment: “I was kind of harsh on him, saying he’s a dictator. That’s bad. Saddam Hussein is a dictator.”

(Pssst, Kevan, so was Hitler).

But the running back is just lucky Saddam is so understanding. When reached for comment, Hussein said he had no ill feelings towards Barlow, but was still upset at the former Niner for ruining his fantasy football season last year.
