Pee Wee Football Video of the Week

This whole incident is nothing short of crazy. PeeWee football coaches engage in a brawl after two players begin shoving each other on the field. Some of the 12-year-old players attempt to restrain the coaches, but to no avail. And for their punishment, the kids can't go to the playoffs.

Are you kidding me? Some grumpy old men attempt to beat each other to a pulp, and it is the kids who get punished? How about suspending the coaches from the league for life? And aren't the parents and coaches the ones who should be breaking up fights between their kids, rather than the kids breaking up the parents?

Here is the news report on the incident. See if you can make any sense of their actions. Um, no - you can't.




Pat Tillman's Brother on HBO
No, I won't put commie Bill Maher in the headline.
For those of you who do not know have been in a coma for six years and have not heard the story of Pat Tillman; He is a former NFLer who left the game to serve his country in the armed forces over in Afghanistan. During his time there he was killed in the line of duty by friendly fire. The details of his death are rather murky, at best, as his family continues to question what exactly happened on that day that would result in the loss of a great man.

We may never have the answer to that question, but Pat's brother Richard Tillman made an appearance on Real Time With Bill Maher, and spoke about his brother's death, the questions that continue to surround that dreadful day, and the comments he made during his brother's funeral, when he said, "Just make no mistake, he's not with God. He's fucking dead. He's not religious. Thanks for your thoughts, but he's fucking dead."

For those of you who did not watch his memorial service on ESPN2 several years ago - Richard Tillman pretty much delivered the most ass kicking awesome eulogy of all time.

Here's the HBO interview. The best part comes at the 6:40 mark of the clip, when Richard states how he feels about John McCain and Maria Shriver's comments stating that his brother is with God now. Take a look. I report, you decide.
