I’M A MAN! I’M 40!

Oklahoma State University football coach Mike Gundy loses his cool during an interview with the press below. I like how he ties it into what’s wrong with society. You know someone is onto something when they ask that question, right?

So, yes, it’s unfortunate that college football is becoming increasingly more like the pros. Maybe the newspaper got a few things wrong about the player in question, and that’s unfortunate too. But, the outrage about “hurting his feelings” and “kicking him when he’s down” is totally illogical.

When you strive to achieve glory on the athletic field, you also risk embarrassing yourself. Just ask Drew Brees for clarification on that point. If you aren’t willing to have your name dragged through the mud, don’t go into any kind of athletic competition. It’s just part of the game, for better or for worse. How are you going to have a competition and have all parties involved feel good about the outcome? From now on, should OSU football games end with everyone holding hands and crossing the endzone together, like the special olympics?

Come on!

I bet the player in question is more upset about losing the game for his team than he is about the newspaper article anyway. Wouldn’t you feel that way?
