Coach Charlie Weis

A jury recently found against Notre Dame Coach Charlie Weis in his malpractice suit against the two physicians who performed his gastric bypass surgery.

The first trial was declared a mistrial, when the two doctors leaped into action in the court room and saved the life of one of the jurors in medical distress. I guess the judge figured Coach Weis couldn't get a fair shake after jurors had seen that.

It might be time for Coach Weis to start looking at that man in the mirror and take some personal responsibility for his physical appearance and well-being.

I had the misfortune to witness his ill-prepared team's debacle against USC this past season. Almost as embarrassing as the resultant performance was Coach Weis' selection of pre-game apparrel. Does anyone remember the late '70's, finally being roused to conciousness in your college dorm room on a Sunday morning, believing that you had finally, truly done yourself in, managing to somehow get up and throw on a pair of those formless gray sweatpants and a baseball cap and staggering over to the cafeteria to get a bit of food in ya, before returning to your dorm room and fitfully power napping until Monday morning?

Coach Weis was wearing that type of shapeless gray sweat pants on the field at the Coliseum in ful view of everybody who is anybody in LA. The sweatpants did not flatter his physique. Absolutely mortifying to all Notre Dame fans, particularly when one remembers what a crisp dresser Ara Parseghian was.
