While talking about the Florida job he was not called about — but would have answered because hanging up is rude — Chip Kelly got a little dig in at the doubters who didn’t think his offense would work in the pros. Chip told reporters that the Florida job didn’t interest him because “I don’t think our pro offense would work at the college level.” He also said the speculation was silly, and when asked why, said “Because it’s a rumor, it’s not the truth. I think things that are false are silly.” This is great (and typical Chip), but “Things that are false are silly” probably won’t sell many t-shirts.
When he's not writing about sports here or ranting about them on Twitter, Jim is probably watching X-Files on Netflix or drinking a beer somewhere. Jim has nothing against hockey, it's just not his style. He once met Duce Staley at a Sixers game.
