Mike Shanahan was fired today.

Shooting at a local ski area, ended with a shoot-out with a deputy in Boulder Canyon.

With story leads?   [roll]
It's all in the grind, Sizemore. Can't be too fine, can't be too coarse. This, my friend, is a science. I mean you're looking at the guy that believed all the commercials. You know, about the "be all you can be." I made coffee through Desert Storm. I made coffee through Panama while everyone else got to fight, got to be a Ranger.

Sad, ain't it?

(i'm guessing football took priority)
I solve my problems like an adult, at the strip club drinking on a work night.

Longer spot at the top of the news as well as long spot in sports.

Well, what happened?

Couldn't get a winning team. 15 years is still a long time in control.

It's like I keep saying:  Those who would sacrifice a free range session for a giant beer, deserve neither free range time nor a giant beer.

People get shot everyday. Football coaches are only fired at that special time of year.

It's sad, but it's America. I'm guessing more people listened intently to the Shanahan story as well.

Grampa

the newspaper would have put it's own money shot on the cover had Shanahan been shot
Gaspar, Melchior and Balthasar kicked me out of the band..... they said I didnt fit the image they were trying to project. 

So I went solo.  -Me

Some people call 911..... some people are 911

personally, i approve of the priority. two reasons

1) i despise shanahan
2) i hate hearing about stuff like the shooting mentioned by the OP

truth is, it sounds like a win / win for the media. both stories will appeal to the majority of the public,.......sad as that is.
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...
