Tuesdays are the sad day of the week. They really don’t have much going for them, except that they tend to be more destructive than the Plague. Tuesday we get to hear about the destruction that Mondays make. Now, it’s time for the stories from the wonderful world of the interwebz.

Story #1: Coach Micah Grimes was fired after his team lit up another school by a score of 100-0. The reason for the firing wasn’t because they gloated or celebrated and rubbed the victor in the faces of the opponents. It was for not apologizing for the defeat. To think that a coach had told him team to go out and do the best they can and win, only to be told to apologize for the defeat. Covenant School, posted a statement regretting the outcome of the blow out, “It is shameful and an embarrassment that this happened. This clearly does not reflect a Christ-like and honorable approach to competition,” said the statement, signed by board chair Todd Doshier. The Dallas Academy has remained winless during the last four seasons. The academy specializes in teaching students struggling with “learning differences,” such as short attention spans or dyslexia.

My opinion on the situation is to turn around and apologize about a victory and fire the coach for being “Non Christ like,” doesn’t mean to belittle these kids and treat then differently, because I’m sure they wanted to be treated like equals.

Story #2: According to researchers from Harvard University and the University of California, San Diego, have found that our place in a social network is influenced by our genes. They go on to say that part of the genetic pattern is for human connection and help direct us on how to build our social groups. “I think that going forward, we are going to find that social networks are a critical conduit between our genes and important health outcomes,” says James Fowler.
