1. Saturday on Sundays
The Indianapolis Colts relieved Head Coach Frank Reich of his duties after an embarrassing 26-3 loss to the New England Patriots and replaced him with former Colts center Jeff Saturday, who spent this year on the sidelines coaching high school ball. Now I’m not going to spill precious virtual ink on how insulting that move is to the Colts assistant coaches and the dues coaches pay to be lucky enough to hold even the interim title. I’m here to admire the absolute madness of Jim Irsay.
Irsay hiring Saturday – even to an interim post – is so weird there isn’t much precedent.
