One runs in the college sports world. The other runs in the professional sports world. One is a sweet old lady. The other is a balding lunatic. One believes in the power of Christ. The other believes in the power of money and fame. One wouldn't harm a fly. The other reminds me of the Reverend from "The Purge: Election Year" who says, "Purge and purify!"
I think you guys have figured out who is who by now. I'm not saying that Jack Easterby is all of those things, but, from a Hollywood standpoint, he certainly fits the part. Trust me, I'm from Los Angeles. I know a fake when I see one.
What is it that Sister Jean has that Jack Easterby doesn't? Well, respect is one thing. Jack isn't very well liked as I'm sure most of you fans know by now. Not by players, not by members of the front office, and definitely not by the fans and the city of Houston as a whole. If you don't believe me, then go check out the Sports Illustrated articles on Jack Easterby with the Texans if you haven't already. Meanwhile, as far as I know, no one ever talks smack about Sister Jean.
What else is there? Maybe, there's the fact that Sister Jean is a decent person and not a weirdo "comedian" like Jack is. How do I know this? Well, you don't get to be a 101 year old spokesperson and chaplain for a team if you act like Jack Easterby has been acting.
Anything else I'm missing? Oh yeah, Sister Jean's teams actually win. Literally, Loyola Chicago just beat #1 seed Illinois to move on to the Sweet 16. So, there's that. It's almost as if some form of higher power is watching over and helping the Ramblers of Loyola Chicago. Maybe, God does love sports and he helps out the athletes who show him some love (Tim Tebow, I'm looking at you).
God is watching you Mr. Easterby. Your move.
