Misnomer?
CNN/SI terms Mike Fish's columns "Straight Shooting." Not particularly sure why. His pieces aren't any more plain-written, his arguments aren't any more matter of factly advanced, and his tone is no less candid than the site's other contributors.Oh well.
In his latest, Fish celebrates Larry Eustachy's return to the coaching profession. A nice read, by off-season standards.
Though Fish wins my vote for Whopper of the Week:
Eustachy, 48, is a guy you root for -- he doesn't make excuses, blame anyone else for his screw-up nor dance around his alcoholism or his time at a Minnesota rehab facility.
Uhhh, right. I root for middle-aged coaches who hit on college-aged girls all the time. Mensches, all of them.
