    Let's hurry up and interview a minority candidate

    If we're working on getting a big name guy, let's hurry up and interview a token minority coach just to satisfy the Rooney Rule.

    Fly me up to Buffalo and I'll do it for a Bills sweatshirt.

    I would think Lovie would at least be worth an interview.
    I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
    "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
    You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
    It was all
    true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
    He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can
    mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.

          Except he hasn't been fired yet.

          Has Romeo Crennel been let go?

            Lovie and Crennel are both out there.
            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
            "Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.

              Reports are both Lovie and Romeo are gone.

              Missing the playoffs for the second straight year has cost Bears coach Lovie Smith his job.

                Can we interview Modkins on his way out?

                  Do Asians qualify under the Rooney rule or just African Americans?

                      I think it's any non-white. Look at Rivera in Carolina. Don't think they interviewed any black coaches.

                        Is the Rooney Rule racist or am I in the wrong thinking so? I don't care if my coach is white/black/asian/indian/midget. What is the point of this stupid rule? Was Al Davis screaming about having a black head coach? Asinine...

                            This Rooney thing needs to be thrown out the window.
                            I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"

                            It was all
