Reporting Is Really Only a Sideline for Them

Coach: Lisa, we have to score at least 15 points to win this game.

Lisa: Coach, what did you say to the team at halftime?

Coach: Lisa, I said we had better win this bleeping game or some heads will roll.

Lisa: Thanks Coach, and now back to you, Al.

Boy, I can’t wait until Michele Tafoya tops this repartee with some coach next fall.
