Jeremy: Sid Has All The Answers

You gotta love Sid Hartman. He's the kind of writer who you can't help reading, but everytime you do he says something that completely baffles you. I can't read his column without laughing and screaming in my head: "WHAT?!?!" It makes me wonder how a guy like this is still writing for a major metro newspaper.
On a side note wondering how Sid still has a job, apparently Sid also has a world-class foul mouth. I've heard it said that Sid cannot go 3 minutes without using the infamous "F" word. He's even sworn at my employees during catering events. His liberal use of swear words, particularily the aforementioned one starting with an "F", is legendary. I've never met him myself, but I'm told he is neither pleasant to be around, or welcoming in how he approaches people.
Moving on... Ever the last word on all things Minnesota sports related, today Sid had this gem.
"One comment on the Vikings. One of these days, the critics will discover that the Vikings don't have talent, and their record is not the coaches' fault. Last year, the Vikings scored 47 touchdowns; this year, they are on pace to score 16. Enough said. "
Enough said. Enough said? Nicely done Sid. Nothing like hatching up an opinion contradictory to what everyone else is saying. I commend Sid for standing on the other side of the street, however, he's completely wrong.
I'm not saying that how terrible the Vikings are has everything to do with coaching, because that is crazy. But to say that their horrible season has NOTHING to do with coaching is ridiculous. Furthermore, to say that the Vikings don't have talent is a cooked up way to let the coaches off the hook, when they clearly deserve to be firmly on the hook, along with their seaworthy players. Letting the coaches off the hook is just plain stupid, but it's the only viable plan if you want to keep your lips firmly planted to the rear ends of the coaching staff so that you can join them for dinner at Murray's on Thursday nights.
