Who's Sorry Now? Herm Edwards Edition

Kansas City Chiefs head coach Herm Edwards, we salute you. Not only did you basically tell your fans to go #### themselves after they complained about the Chiefs' losing record, but then you were forced to sloppily apologize; essentially humbling yourself before fat guys who wear bags over their heads. All in all a glorious sequence for us here at Who's Sorry Now?

Coach Herm Edwards apologized to Kansas City Chiefs fans Tuesday for telling them to "get over it," and said he should have chosen his words more carefully in talking about their reaction to his team's long losing streak. On Tuesday, Edwards agreed the statement had angered many fans. "And probably the ways the fans took it, in my opinion, was probably wrong," he said. "So if it was misinterpreted, then I apologize. I tell players, `Pick your words,' and I didn't use the right choice of words, obviously. And that's my fault. That's on me."

We're just sorry that Kansas City Wolf — the only member of the organization who is still trying to win — had to witness this.

Elsewhere in unfortunate regret:

• "Sorry we decreased your TV ratings by 80 percent, Music City Bowl." — Bobby Bowden

• "Sorry my steroid use didn't make the Orioles any better." — Brian Roberts

• "Sorry for the promiscuity." — Jamie Lynn Spears

• "Sorry for the nudity." — Several people

• "Sorry for linking to this." — Who's Sorry Now?

That Series Of Tubes Can Be Confusing

When you think of all the technological wizardry NFL coaches have at their dispersal, we wonder sometimes if the next world-changing innovation will spawn from the mind of a Dorito-peppered slouch coach bunkered in his office at 4 a.m., watching game film and suddenly discovering cold fusion. They certainly put in the hours. Point is: NFL coaches have their finger on the pulse. Well, except for Herman Edwards.

Yes, Herm gleefully admits he knows nothing about them crazy Interwebs.

"Here's the concern — in our society now, so many things come up on Web sites and Internet," Edwards said. "First of all, I don't even have the Internet. I wouldn't even know how to use it."

Finger on the pulse, that guy. We can understand, though, that a man like Edwards might have trouble with the Web, considering his struggles with, you know, clocks. The best way to describe, visually, Edwards' tenure as a football coach might, ultimately, be a blinking "12:00" on a VCR.

NFL Roundup: Party Para Mexico

Leitch — Mon, 03 Oct 2005 10:04:37 EDT

• We're a little slow this morning, because did a shot every time ESPN showed some Mexican "culture" during last night's 31-14 Buzzsaw victory over the 49ers. We know it's unusual to play a game in another country, but the slack-jawed awe of the broadcasters last night — "look, another local! These people are confused by the 'Foot Ball'" — made it seem like they were playing the game in Burundi. For the record, Mexico City is closer to Houston than Atlanta is.
• We still are a little confused as to what happened with the Patriots yesterday. Did they pull their starters to rest for the playoffs next week?
• You know, it's funny: We don't know a single person who doesn't think the every game the Redskins win will be their last one.
• Weird: We just lost to a fantasy team who started Archie Manning yesterday.
• We're beginning to visibly cringe every time we see Jets coach Herman Edwards start talking. It's making us uncomfortable.
• Just wondering: Donovan McNabb's hernia, is that the kind you discover by turning your head and coughing? Or is that a different kind? Or is a "sports hernia" a different kind of hernia, a smoother classier ride? Are we losing you here?
• Hey, the Saints won! Go America! What's that? Oh. All the victims of Hurricane Katrina are doing great now? Everything's fine? All right, cool.
