In Tuesday's paper, there were two articles that caught my attention. On the front page, there was a story about the sentencing of a Connecticut man in a trial where he was accused of killing a mother and her two daughters.The man was found guilty and sentenced to death row. The only problem with this is they do not know when, even if, the man will be put to death. In Connecticut, there are people on death row who have been there for very long periods. Connecticut has only executed one person who has been on death row. So basically it's like saying, "We're sentencing you to death, but probably not." It just doesn't make sense to me. This man committed such a horrible crime and he deserves to pay for what he did. He picked out this family in a parking lot and followed them home to see where they lived and then killed them for no reason. Any killing of a person deserves the death penalty, nevermind the killing of two innocent children.
In the Sports Section, there was an article about comments Vikings' couch Childress made after the game Sunday where he poked fun at comments by quarterback Favre. Favre had previous said that he had never gotten a hug from the coach and jokingly said he could use one. The awful relationship between the two has been a clear issue all season and Childress's comments had the media in an uproar. Childress, who's job is in jeopardy after firing Randy Moss without the knowledge of the team, probably should not be making such jokes at this time. I mean, when the crowd is chanting to fire the coach, you probably shouldn't make them angrier. I honestly wouldn't be surprised if Childress is fired before the end of the season. He's bringing such a negativity to the team that it could end up hurting the team in the long run.
