Dungy Stays. You can all exhale now.

I don't like to spend my days thinking about 2006_prairie_home_companion_004.jpgBritney Spears.  Not only does it offend my sensitive musical pallet to think about that overproduced tripe, but it makes me wonder why people could possibly care about this girl enough to make her a celebrity.  Crap, I could easily name a dozen girls in my high school that were all better looking with more talent and most probably went on to get college degrees.   Not only that, but they don't appear to be addicts.  Britney Spears' appearances in my thoughts are like that one chick's scenes in A Prairie Home Companion, not only are they out of place, but all the work of masterful artists in the field of writing, make-up, and sound production cannot make me like them.    I wonder why we are obsessed with people who often have no talent at their jobs.  Thankfully Tony Dungy is not that guy, and neither is Jim Caldwell.

Dungy stays, Caldwell officially announced as heir apparent.  Pretty good news for a Monday.  It gives the Colts the coach they seem to need and respond to and it provides continuity to a team that is the second youngest in the League.  It keeps an excellent teacher in place for a squad that will be without a first round pick and presumably need to teach late round talent into position.  But, perhaps more importantly, it locks in the guy who will one day take the reigns.  Caldwell, who never experienced much success as a head coach in the college ranks, has been something of a commodity for a few years.  Clearly the next blossom from the Tony Dungy coaching tree, Caldwell has been in interviews for three seasons about head coaching jobs elsewhere, but was beat out probably due to lack of a winning record.  Regardless, another couple of seasons with the Colts and we would never have been able to keep him.  If not in Atlanta or Baltimore next year, he would have been offensive coordinating in Tennessee or Cincy.  He is that hot of a commodity.  Why?  Well, he handles substitutions and personnel packages and he has been at the right hand of Tom Moore for three years.  If you had a squad that put 9 or 10 starters on IR and had health troubles all season and you saw this guy work on the sidelines and you knew he had a grasp of Tom Moore's offense you would want him in a heartbeat.  It is a good deal, and it prevents the Colts from having to search for a new coach in a year or two, the new guy is there and he will just step in having been with the team and building relationships during that time.  It also means that Cam Cameron isn't going to coach here, and that is awesome.

Not that I mind, but I started thinking. Now that Jim Caldwell is officially named the Colt's next coach, what happened to the NFL's policy of interviewing multiple candidates? Some poor white coach is waiting on his opportunity!!

Yeah, the Colts are going to probably have some questions to answer on that front....They might be able to get away with it because Caldwell is a minority and the 'Rooney Rule' only states that you have to interview a minority before hiring your coach....

If you go back to Garrett's PC for the Cowboys earlier in the week he was asked, "Did they tell you that you are next head coach of the Cowboys" and he said, "No."

You can thank Johnny Cochrane (RIP) for that....seriously. Although, I think he stole it from my presentation in 2000. Bastard.

Along with what really happened in Area 51 and what happens to that extra sock in the dryer, Jack Cobra's 2000 presentation included the secret to Brittany Spears success. Sadly, the government stole that document and swore Jack to secrecy, leaving Bruce Paine, I, and millions of Americans to wonder why Brittany Spears ever became so popular. Jack, just whisper it--I won't tell the .gov anything, promise.
