These were cute! I'm sure John McKay wanted to "execute" the team :) He had some good blunders, just shows you don't need to be brain surgeon to manage a team.

Rik, Joe knows football, not sure if he knows anything else.

Hugh, real life is a blast.

Chris, if that was the requirement, terry would not be managing a world series team twice. It proves that idiots can coach.
