Because I feel grumpy, please allow me to vent

It’s late and I’m grumpy. So just let me vent like a steaming, screaming train whistle...

Nothing makes me more crazed, more vengeful, more explosively nuclear -- OK, I’m a tad melodramatic at 1 o’clock in the morning -- than when I go to MaxPreps.com and cannot find statistics on a player. I came up with three possible scenarios why a coach will not upload stats onto the web site:

1. The coach does not want his players to know their stats, so they play for the team rather than to pad their numbers.

2. The coach does not want the opposing coaches to have any information whatsoever on his players.

3. The coach is just plain lazy. Or clueless, not realizing how much the kids (and the fans and reporters) love combing through all those numbers.

In any case, all three scenarios are dumb.

OK, I’m done venting. I feel better. Thank you for putting up with me.
