Black Monday - Slang Monday

It's a twin spin today from the Sports BBQ with a special edition of Slang Monday.

> In the National Football League, this is called "Black Monday" because this is the day after the end of the regular season, when teams often fire coaches.
> Today, the Washington Redskins fired head coach Jim Zorn.
> To be clear, this was NOT a surprise. Zorn was stripped of play calling duties just six games into the season and the Redskins had a woeful season.
> On top of that, Washington has had a revolving door of coaches. Possibly next up on the coaching carousel? Mike Shanahan.
> The Buffalo Bills fired its entire coaching staff and this is after they fired coach Dick Jauron BEFORE the end of the season. (Wow.)
> Other teams will likely make announcements i.e. changes in the coming days but Black Monday remains among the most anticipated days at the end of the regular season but before the playoffs begin.

More tomorrow.

Enjoy!
