So, I have not commended or condemned the staff. But I have taken a look at the case for retaining Helfrich and the case against retaining him. Today is the second part of that.

Please keep in mind that this is just for entertainment! As a writer, I am neither for or against Helfrich. I simply write. That is why I did both sides of this. Plus, it gives me a chance to expand on what I write.

I used this open:

When you sit in the press box and watch plays as they develop, over the due course of time you begin to recognize a different game; one that is less about what I hope and more about a better understanding of what I see. There is a harsher truth, sometimes, to what I see, than there ever is to what I hope.

Some time ago, I wrote a line that I really think is so true to so many moments that I will repeat it here: between despair and hope lay the minutiae of everyday living. The same can be said for being a football fan. In the stands, as a pure fan, there is hope, and there is despair. From above, with a somewhat more critical eye and somewhat less prosperous hope, there is also a bit of that minutiae of everyday living.

From this perch, I find myself no longer tainted by the stench of blind faith.
