Elder offspring's Spring soccer season ended today. At the start of the season, I nervously volunteered to be the assistant coach for the team, because an assistant coach was needed and I was going to be at all the games and practices anyway. It's not like I had mad coaching skillz; really, I was more of a sous-coach.

So, Bill Belichick has been fined half a million for the incident last week in which a Patriots assistant coach was caught videotaping Jets signals. The team was also fined $250K, and will lose at least one draft pick over the incident.
Now that the punishment has been handed down, can somebody…
Nice gift. All I get is a $10 gift certificate for Circuit City and a team photo. Of course, that's better than what I get for being a ref!
The museum looks pretty cool -- I travel to San Jose a lot and I'll have to check it out next time.
BTW, how'd the season go?
