Former NFL coach Mike Holmgren on Saturday criticized President Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and threw his support behind Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
At a virtual press conference with Green Bay, Wisc., Mayor Eric Genrich (D), Holmgren said that he will be campaigning for Biden in Wisconsin, a swing state Trump narrowly won in 2016 against former secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Holmgren coached the Green Bay Packers from 1992 to 1998, leading the team to a Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots in the 1996 season.
“I’ve never done this before — talked to anybody prior to a campaign...This election is different," Holmgren said. "It’s really different than any other election in my lifetime.

His claim to fame, winning a Super Bowl, passed its shelf life long ago.
Jerry Jones is finding that out, too, as more attention is focused on the Dallas Cowboys not having been to the Conference Championship game in 25 years.

My focus on sports this week is the upcoming announcement on the official start of the college basketball season. It appears to be 11/23 or 11/25, i.e. the Thanksgiving Break where most students leave campus. Schools are planning an extended break for Christmas, allowing teams to play a reasonable nonconference schedule before January.

When and HOW did sports coaches become political sages?
Somebody remind me. I must have been taking a nap that afternoon.
Does ANYBODY really care what coaches think about politics?
Or anything else other than the sport they coach/coached?

Former NFL coach Mike Holmgren on Saturday criticized President Trump’s response to the coronavirus pandemic and threw his support behind Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
So Holmgren is upset that the President cut off travel from countries where coronavirus was running rampant, preferring instead that infected people be allowed to enter the country freely through all US airports just as Joe Biden recommended?
Idiot.
