Doug’s Four-point Stance: Rutgers AD needs to go too

Here are four things on the mind of Doug Franz for Wednesday, April 3, 2013.

1) TIM PERNETTI

So you’ve seen the film of your coach using homosexual slurs and physically asserting his will on players. After watching the video, you decide that Mike Rice should be suspended for three games. Now when the nation watches it you decide that he should be fired. There’s only one word for people like you: gutless.

The fact Rutgers didn’t fire their AD with the coach shows it’s not just the AD that is clueless.

2) DON MALONEY

You’ve proven you’ll do whatever it takes to make the Phoenix Coyotes better. You’re also proving that you won’t hide your head in the sand and hope this team catches lightning in a bottle. You know they’re just not good enough to compete. Although today sucks while you wave the white flag, it’s clearly the right decision.

3) RON WASHINGTON

He said he would have pulled Yu Darvish after the 27th hitter even if Marwin Gonzalez would have reached by error. Meaning, Darvish would have lost his no-hitter to his manager and not the Astros. Johan Santana has ruined it for everyone.

4) PHOENIX

The worst attended baseball game every year is game two of the season. The Diamondbacks had 28,000 fans Tuesday night. The Coyotes are starting to slip into the nether region of playoff possibilities, yet 16,000 came to the arena Tuesday. D-Backs and Coyotes fans deserve some serious love for their performance.
