Relatives

Once, several years ago now, we were all sitting around the television over the Christmas holidays, talking about Geno Auriemma. Well, to be truthful, we were trashtalking Geno, the way UT fans will. My brother's new girlfriend was sitting there quietly watching us, and finally she shook her head and said, amusedly, "You all talk about him like he was the spawn of Satan."

My brother shook his own head and answered her, in that voice - you know the one, the one you use when you're explaining something very obvious to someone who just doesn't get it.

"No, honey; Geno isn't the spawn of Satan. Geno's just Satan's second cousin once removed, on his momma's side."

She was looking at him kind of incredulously now, and to be fair so was my sister and maybe me, too.

Until he finished up:

"Steve Spurrier is Satan's spawn."

As they say, Word.
