KD's Algebra

Bumped from the diaries. GO BRUINS. -N

My coffee was hot, my toast was well buttered and I was on page two of the LA Times sports page when I read Karl's comment in reference to his latest coaching embarrassment:

"It is what it is." To me, that is the most annoying five-word phrase in the the English language. It is what it is? What in the hell does that mean anyway? Any time I hear an athlete spew that self-absolving cliche, I cringe; this time I got angry. It is like a bad algebra equation: x=x.

Guess what Karl, you have to define x with something other than x or else it doesn't mean anything. What is "it"? We sure as hell can't tell what your "it" is, but we know what you are and we know your algebraic equation:

KD = a+w+f+u+l

No more fuzzy math. No more horrible football. No more stupid ass cliches. No more Karl Dorrell.

That was his quote?

And no one in the MSM said, "Hey, you moron. What does 'it is what it is' mean? Are you just unwilling to actually say anything, or are you indeed as dumb as a bag of hammers?"

It is what it is =

You don't like what happened? It's over and done with. You might still give a shit, but I don't. I'm still the coach. Deal with it.

But he says it all in 5 words.

KD means TOUGH S**T and WHATEVER

For what it's worth, I looked up that trite, moronic, sophomoric phrase here:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=It+is+what+it+Is

Get a load of definition #2:

2. it is what it is

A) A phrase that seems to simply state the obvious but actually implies helplessness.

B) A phrase that seems to simply state the obvious but actually means "it will be what it is," as in "it ain't gonna change, so deal with it or don't." See also tough shit, oh well, cry me a river and tfb.

Meaning A
J: I can't believe the price of gas!

B: It is what it is.

Meaning B
J: It troubles me that you continue to put cyanide in my Yoohoo even after I've asked you to stop.

B: It is what it is.

Yep, KD simply gives us da finger, because afterall is said and done... he sleeps well.

Personally, I think Neuheisel is Howland!
Dream job. Won't sleep til we're #1.
