Blackbead Posted December 30, 2009 Share Posted December 30, 2009 Mike Leach has become a symbol of the pirate mystique down here in Texas. His cover photo for the September 2009 "Texas Monthly" featured him sporting an eyepatch and included a piratey quote he gave about pirates beating soldiers. Well, he got canned today after a whirlwind disaster involving an injured player. The facts are flying, along with the fur, and we'll have to see where this ends (Leach and his lawyer are talking lawsuit) but, in the end, at least in Texas, pirates take another hit. I can hear the jokes now - "Well, doctors are now saying that instead of requiring the player to sit out practice in the 'offensive garage' that Leach should have make him walk the plank." "Why didn't Leach just bring out the leeches like they did in 'pirate days'?" "What do you expect from a pirate? At least he didn't hang the kid from a yardarm!" Okay, maybe this is why I'm a poet and not a comedy writer! Blackbead "In the end, it's not the gold that sets our sails, 'Tis freedom and the promise of a better life That raises our black flags."
