Charlie Weis Fired, Bobby Bowden to Retire, And Allen Iverson for Hire?

Lot of news in sports recently regarding employment. First, Charlie Weis was fired from Notre Dame yesterday. Weis was the coach for 5 seasons with a 35-27 record and a 6-6 record this year. Weis just couldn't get Notre Dame back to its former glory so the Irish said goodbye. Another person saying goodbye is Bobby Bowden as he announced his retirement yesterday. He will coach the Florida State Seminoles Bowl Game and then leave the team. Bowden ran this team for 34 years and had won two National Championships with the team back in the 1990's. He has the second most wins for a coach in Division I history with 388–141–4 (315-97-4 with Seminoles) as he only behind Joe Paterno who has 393-129-3.

Another story that was talked about was the possibility of Allen Iverson coming out of his short retirement and coming back to the Philadelphia 76ers. Iverson was part of the Memphis Grizzlies for a short time this year and had a problem with them making him a bench player just like the Pistons did. He would leave the team and his contract would be terminated a bit after that. He would retire just about a week ago but now he's talked to the 76ers yesterday about coming back for them. Iverson Favring on his NBA Career is annoying me a little. Look if he wants to play for his old team that is fine but his antics and recent performances make it seem like he not a team player or even great player like he once was. If he does return, he needs to learn to be a team player no matter what his team does with him.

Favre-Verb (pronounced /ˈfɑrv/), Definition: A person who can't decide between staying employed or retirement. Ex: Michael Jordon Favred a couple of times in his career; once in the middle of Bulls career and then again between the Bulls and the Wizards.
