| Bobby Knight Sitcom = Comedy Gold | |
| 2004-09-01 | |
| EFL LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) - The life and times of Bobby Knight could soon be inside America's living rooms. The fiery Texas Tech coach met with television officials last month in Los Angeles and gave his approval for a sitcom deal. CBS and Paramount Television are exploring the development of a half-hour comedy that could run by next year. All the fun of choking skinny athletes, throwing folding chairs, and cussing out everyone in sight! It's all here on CBS this fall!

| #2 Greta has Ozzie Osborne on for, I think, the 704th time, interviewing him about his wife's cancer. Does she have a thing for Ozzie? Or is it the same interview, over and over again? I can't tell — I can't understand a word he says, despite literally years of training in languages. Osbornes you say. Above is from the Mayor two short years ago. |

| #1 Actually, I am one of Bobby Knight's neighbors. It is hard to square the witty, polite, and articulate man I know with his media image, and record, as some kind of mad dog fanatic. I suspect that he is something like me, only more so: intolerant of foolishness to the point at which his annoyance has sometimes gotten the better of his self-control and dignity. He has behaved quite well here in Lubbock, for the record. There was a verbal clash with an administrator in front of a crowd at a local supermarket, which isn't necessarily something I would hold against him, and the usual friction with the yokel talking heads, which is really part of his job. |
