I'm not trolling - but after listening to that Russ Lande thing I followed a few links and found this;
http://miketanier.sportsonearthblog.com/schottenheimer-through-the-screen-darkly/
Welcome to my first gallery exhibit!
Some artists work in oils or acrylics. I work in Brian Schottenheimer play diagrams. Just as Andy Warhol made art from soup cans and Roy Lichtenstein made art from pulp comics, I take ridiculous Rams play concepts and turn them into museum-worthy showpieces.
Schottenheimer became my muse during this week’s Mandatory Monday, which forced me to watch seven consecutive games of Rams offensive film. After the dismay, nausea, and revulsion came an appreciation for the rich aesthetic of the over-engineered three-yard pass. My only hope is to give others the gift of seeing these plays the way I do.
All of the works of art in Scottenheimer: Through the Screen Darkly are slight exaggerations of Schottenheimer plays, true art being about finding the truth beyond our human perceptions of three-and-outs and whatnot. Mankind can make a clock, Salvador Dali a melting clock. Similarly, mankind can make a short pass, Schottenheimer a dripping burnt panini of a short pass, and me a picture of the dripping burnt panini.
And so it goes on....
Anyway, gave me a cheap laugh.
For the record I'm not actually a huge critic of Schottenheimer - I think he deserves another year in this system with a healthy Bradford to be fairly judged - but I do accept a lot of people feel some of his playcalling (especially with Tavon Austin) left a little to be desired last year...so I thought I'd share!
