Cry Me a River

Ok, I usually leave sports out of my blogs. Unfortunately, one sports genius chose to open his mouth and it has been eating at my craw all weekend. Stan Van Gundy (Warning: I am not a fan of Stan or his team, but I have tolerated his antics until now) decided he needed to take a stand on NBA games on Christmas. He was upset that he had to coach a game on the holiday. It was so upsetting that he had to protest to reports covering the game. Could it be that he did not want to talk about his team getting beat by the Celtics? Could it be that his salary of $4 million per year is not enough to merit him leaving his home on Christmas and driving to the arena? Could it be that he is so religious that he refuses to work on holy days?

I am not sure if any of my questions are correct. I only know that Stan chose his profession. If he does not like working on a holiday he could be my trash collector. Because of Christmas my trash pick up was postponed to Saturday. A day of 20 degree temperatures, constant snow, and a brisk wind. Oh and they were at my house at 5:30 AM. Stan on the other hand had to coach a game in Orlando at 1:00 PM and there is the little thing of a $4 million salary.

Stan, you win my cry baby of the year nomination. I hope the Magic come to their senses and let you stay home all the time.
