i never really had much of an opinion on phil jackson; i didnt really like or dislike him. that is, until now... after surrendering a loss to the spurs on tuesday night where his team gave up 13 three pointers, jackson said "we call this a 'brokeback mountain' game, because there's so much penetration and kickouts." for once i dont know exactly what to say back to that, other than its pretty funny and i can see how it was an inappropriate thing to say. he redeemed himself the following night before the teams next game, saying " if i've offended any horses, Texans, cowboys or gays, i appologize." i did find this picture of phil instructing MJ how to accept a pass...in other news the wyoming football coach flipped the bird to his opponent on saturday. joe glenn was unhappy with utah's coach kyle whittinghams decision to kick an onside kick with a 43-0 lead over his team. and on the surface i can see why joe was pissed, but glenn had no one to blame for the poor sportmanship but himself. it was he who publicly guaranteed a victory over utah- with the utes and their coaching staff obviously taking offense. to see more, including the incident itself, check out this video.

This Phil Jackson deal is one of the things I like the very least about America. He made a joke, it was mildly amusing, that should be it. The joke was sexual in nature, but in no way derogatory but he's being admonished by all sorts of people, including GLAAD.
I forget what I was reading but I thought it was a great point. They were saying that had he changed "Brokeback game" to "Vivid Video game" or something along those lines would anyone be offended. Nope, the joke would be exactly the same, but since it's referencing porn instead of a movie about gay cowboys it would bother no one, and they'd probably laugh at the joke.
