Coward

I usually would not focus a whole post on 3-11 NFL team but I have not never seen such scorn from players after a coach's departure in my life.

Atlanta Falcons head football coach Bobby Petrino quit with 3 games remaining in the season and went back to college by accepting the head coach position at the University of Arkansas.

He did not even tell the Falcons team in person but left the above note in their locker room. Safety Lawyer Milloy made sure to correct his name.

"Everything he preached over the past eight months was a lie," Milloy said. "Everything he said he stood for was a lie. He came in and messed with a lot of people's lives — he wasted a year of my life. It was a cowardly act. A selfish act."

"There's a line of communication that needs to be there and it wasn't," said quarterback Joey Harrington, who was publicly humiliated on a handful of occasions. "I went to him with concerns of the team and I was absolutely disregarded."

When Joey Harrington is publicly talking smack about a coach, things must be really bad. John Joseph Harringon should be used to this by now since this is the 4th coach that has either bolted or been fired in his 6 seasons.

Jim Mora Sr had it wrong last year. Harrington is the coach killer and Mike Vick is the canine one. Sorry I had to as the one liner was WAY too easy.

This article details the players their venom laced emotions.

My man at the Legend of Cecilio Guante has entered a new verb into the sports lexicon: petrino.

Meanwhile, Petrino was all smiles and screaming WOOO PIG SOOIE!
