Disturbing

Check out this article:
http://proxy.espn.go.com/nfl/sportsnation/ratings
It is the ratings of all the NFL coaches from the "from the 2008 SportsNation NFL Head Coach Approval Ratings". There are a number of disturbing things in this article.
1. Jeff Fisher's mustache
2. The look on Marvin Lewis' face.
3. How drunk Sean Payton looks
4. How cross-eyed Mike McCarthy looks.
okay, aside from the "asthetic" problems, there are many problems with these rankings. Such as:
1. Wade Phillips got a 13% rating, and Rod Marinelli got a 29% rating. That means 16% of the people in this poll thought Marinelli was a better coach than Wade Phillips. Absurd. Wade Phillips went 9-7 and almost made the playoffs, but Marinelli didn't get a win. Apparently, 16%, or one of every 6 people doing this survey felt that going above .500 and barely missing the playoffs was more disappointing than being the first winless team EVER.
2. 19% of those people approved of Romeo Crennel. That's 1 out of every 5 people. I swear to god, do not let me drink alcohol around any of those people, because I will cut them. Who on earth thinks Romeo did well this year? Was it his stellar clock managment or his awesome play calling? If his "approval" rating had shown up as like 5% or something, I would think that's just a few people that were really drunk, dont know how to work a computer, or are steeler fans just trying to make us feel worse, but 19%, thats just crazy. To be honest, i doubt 19% of the browns players would approve of Romeo this year. Clearly, Randy Lerner is part of the 81%, hahah.
3. Jim Haslett got a 38% rating, with a 2-14 record. That is over 3 times the rating received by Dick Jauron who had a 7-9 record. What? are you kidding?
4. Tom Cable got a 74% rating. For those of you who didn't know, Tom Cable is the Raiders coach. Yeah, I don't i would've known that if it weren't in the article? Are the raiders still in the league? Apparently 3 out of 4 people not only know the raiders exist, but like them. Weird.
5. Mike Singletary received an 88%. This number clearly should be higher, it should be around 98% simply because he is driving force behind Mustache Monday.

Yeah, and if you want a kick, google Ray Wersching or Kevin Fagan to see a mustache that would make Ned Flanders jealous.
