The St. Louis Rams have hired Jim Haslett as their defensive coordinator. As head coach in New Orleans, Haslett’s defenses sucked real bad, which might be an improvement for the Rams.
On a brighter note, the Saints hired former University of Oklahoma head coach Gary Gibbs as their defensive coordinator. Gibbs followed Sooner legend Barry Switzer at Oklahoma.

Merry Christmas from Paul and Dave.
The weak link in the vaunted elbuzzard tennis tandem, Kent was placed Tuesday on the inactive list after X-rays revealed a “separation of the sacrum or tail bone.” He will spend the next couple of weeks sitting in an innertube filled with ice.
The often-injured former running back suffered the fracture after falling down the back stairs, only a week after his wife Leslie had managed to pull the same stunt. Leslie is at 80%.
Kent, nicknamed the “Glass Bus,†after breaking his ribs playing flag football, has denied rumors of retirement. He turned 30 in September.
“I’ve shattered my ass plenty of times,” said tennis chum Paul. “It hurts, but you’ve got to keep pounding away. He’ll be back.”
10. Me: I want to use paper plates and utensils for Thanksgiving dinner, so I don’t have to do any dishes or cook. Kent and Leslie are determined not to allow this. I’m mad.
9. Nick Saban: Made the list last year after being deplorable to the media that annointed him God in Baton Rouge. Now, he’s back, this time as the head coach of the “exciting” Dolphins. “The record doesn’t really matter, the result doesn’t matter and the score in the game doesn’t really matter.” Saint Nick’s ego will always stand in his way.
8. Leslie: For finally getting a job. (Sucker.)
7. The Atlanta Hawks: Moving from New Orleans, it was hard to imagine having a worse hometown hoops team to root for. It’s not hard to imagine that now. A month into the season, the Hawks are the only winless team in the NBA.

2. Tom Benson: What an evil, twisted man. Once again, he’s proven to be all-businessman and not nearly enough football-fan.
1. Anyone involved with the response to Hurricane Katrina: Due to your lack of organization and leadership, people died. Others lost their wordly possessions and some the ability to make a living in the city that they love. Thanks for the money, though. I miss New Orleans.
The secret to improving focus, reducing stress and bending spoons with your mind is Dahn Yoga, also known as Brain Respiration. After only 2 1/2 classes, I can bend a spoon with my own hands. I also can count to 10 in Korean. Soon, I will be Yogi Bear.

Jack White or Three Quid?
Throughout his trip through London, [Jack White]’s calling himself Three Quid. It doesn’t carry quite the same resonance as a Sting or The Edge would. He won’t explain the change, only to say that it will be for the tour of the UK.
When Bono changed to MacPhisto, he was adapting a character that was the devil. Jack White is merely saying “I’m Three Quid, but I’ll act and play exactly how I always have. Strange.

Bob Stoops immediately transformed an Oklahoma program coming off an 3-win season to a national power. The Sooners have been to four BCS bowls in five years, including a national title and three appearances in the national championship game.
Currently, he is leading a team to a bowl game that has played more freshmen than any other team in the nation. The Sooners’ three losses have come against TCU, UCLA and Texas. Those teams have lost two games combined.
Not only is Stoops a top-10 coach, he’s probably in the top five.
