Herm Edwards

Did you hear the quote from Herm Edwards (coach of the Kansas City Chiefs) last week:

"Here's the concern -- in our society now, so many things come up on Web sites and Internet," Edwards said. "First of all, I don't even have the Internet. I wouldn't even know how to use it."
How does he not have the Internet? It's 2007! Doesn't he have a computer in his office with the Internet on it? The Chiefs are a multi-million, possibly billion dollar organization, you mean, they don't have a computer network and computers at all the desks? It just bewilders me that he could not have the Internet. No wonder he sucks as a coach. Where is he getting injury reports, scores, information on other teams? From the paper? From TV? Surely, other coaches are all over nfl.com and espn.com trying to get injury reports and practice reports from other teams, right? I know he's not getting all his information from watching film on players and reading the newspaper everyday, right? Herm, it's 2007, get a computer for crying out loud.
Sure, I wouldn't believe a lot of what you read by all the so called experts, but I'd think there is quite a bit of information out there that Herm and all other NFL coaches could benefit from. Just another example of how expert fantasy football owners should be promoted to coaches.
