And Imagine if It Had Been a Film He Liked?

When I was an athlete in high school and college, sports and sports news were high priorities in my life, many times all-encompassing. In the past two decades, even when coaching, I have gradually learn to put sports in their proper perspective.

Thus I was quite amused (and amazed) to read in the Oct. 21 paper that Hart High’s offensive coordinator, Dean Herrington, watched last year’s film of Hart’s loss to Saugus 500 times over the past year. Does the line “Get a life” cross anyone’s mind?
