I know this should be common knowledge, but after the last week, it bears reiterating, especially from someone who is, shall we say, a more-than-casual fan of American football.
No man -- player or coach or anything else -- is bigger than the game.
And the game (and any aspects thereof) is utterly irrelevant to the point of nonexistence against a person's life.
This should go without saying, And yet I feel oddly compelled to point it out. I enjoy a good throttling of an instate rival or a four-overtime knife fight as much as the next guy. But it's good to keep some perspective. It's just a damned game.
That said, if anyone wants to get me a Christmas present, bring me the skull of Norv Turner.
