You know that “reality” show on ESPN about how Dick Butkus is coaching a high school football team? Well, it’s a sham.
Not only is Butkus not really the head coach, but now that ESPN is done filming, Butkus is gone – with two games left on the schedule.
The real head coach, Lou Cerro, was mostly hidden by ESPN’s clever editing so that it looked Butkus was running things. Instead, it sounds like he stood around and then yelled at everyone when the cameras were rolling. And now that the cameras are gone, so is he.
Nice lesson for the kids.
Hat tip to the Sports Frog for the find.
