Jim Zorn Old School Picture

Bill Walsh Dies: Legendary Coach Invented West Coast Offense

Sad news today for the entire NFL community. Legendary San Francisco 49ers coach Bill Walsh died today after a long bought with Leukemia. He was 75. Bill Walsh invented the West Coast offense and directed influenced much of the NFL coaching roster. Walsh also is credited with inventing or popularizing many of the modern basics of coaching, from the laminated sheets of plays held by coaches on almost every sideline, to the practice of scripting the first 15 offensive plays of a game. He will be greatly missed.

During his long battle with Leukemia, we were reminded of Bill Walsh through these hilarious Coors Light commercials.

Joe Gibbs Likes Tony Stewart Better than The Redskins

Is anybody else at all concerned with the fact that Joe Gibbs is currently running two professional sports franchises at the same time? I'm being generous by calling NASCAR a sport. Seriously though, how can he not be distracted from the Redskins when he has all kinds of crap to deal with at Joe Gibbs Racing? To be a successful coach in the NFL, you need to devote 100% of your time and attention to coaching the football team. Besides the fact that NASCAR totally sucks, it taking attention away from the matter at hand: Winning the NFC East and making the playoffs. I'm giving Joe Gibbs one more season. If we don't have a good year, he needs to either quit NASCAR or quit the Redskins.

I heard that Bill Cowher is looking for a job in 2008... I want to know your thoughts. What's Joe thinking? What's Danny-boy Snyder thinking? Leave some comments.

BREAKING NEWS: Tony Stewart Fired from Joe Gibbs Racing Team

Made you look. God, this time of year sucks. There's no football on and baseball is embarassingly boring. To make matters worse, Rednecks get to rejoice in the height of the NASCAR season, swilling Keystone Light and rocking out to Toby Keith. I'm still trying to figure out this whole NASCAR thing, although I did see Ricky Bobby last year, so I guess I'm somewhat of a NASCAR expert at this point. If Ricky Bobby were real, he would be on the Joe Gibbs Team, behind the wheel of the #20 Home Depot car.
