You think the best coaches and players sit near the field of play? Think again.

You always find the best players and coaches in the bleachers. They know all of the right plays and the sharpest moves. They can tell you who should have been traded or kept and can rapidly recite a litany of blunders going back to the Twenties and beyond. They're especially ready to recall maddening mistakes they've been forced to endure while watching games or listening to sports radio.
