New Toledo quarterbacks coach Robert Weiner does not always read James Joyce, but when he does, he prefers Ulysses.
That is, unless the longtime high school English teacher is feeling dangerous.
“Back in college, we studied Ulysses and even our smartest professor told us, ‘Don’t even try Finnegans Wake. You’re not going to get it,’” Weiner said, referring to the stream-of-consciousness work that makes a hieroglyphic translation of a Russian instruction manual seem like a walk in the park. “So, of course, as rebellious college students, we looked into it.”
I have to say, I like the guy already.
