TEDDY: Really? She said that? NATE: That's what Francis told me! COACH: HEY! TEDDY/NATE: Coach John! COACH: What's going on here, scrubs? TEDDY: We're ...y'know...juggling. NATE: Yeah, getting ready for the season. COACH: Oh, really? Excuse me but soccer players don't train by doing useless ball tricks! They train by getting themselves into tip top condition!! And how do they do that? They run their butts off! TEDDY: Speaking of butts, I've got a pain in mine. NATE: This is an outrage.

John is in pretty bad shape himself. I can’t accept any instructor who can’t present as role models

Doesn’t anybody know that running is really bad for a body? It’s a high impact activity – that means knees go out, which affects every other body system – back, ankles, etc. Much better to “power walk” – you’ll get there just as fast and build better flexability. Plus the Coach needs to be out there as well – his heart rate/blood pressure looks like it needs some attention.

Coach reminds me of that guy who “kept cadence” on the Roman galley that was Judah’s home for three years in BEN HUR. You know: RAMMING SPEEEEEEEEEEEEED!!!! Womp! Womp!! Womp!!! WOMP!!!

Looks like it wouldn’t hurt Coach John to do some running

Are we going to find out that Coach John is homophobic or just insensitive? I don’t expect to see terms like Nancy Boy in this or any other comic. It really takes away from the positive story line with Chad.

Coach John should never ever wear shorts.

There are certain sports designed for pairs, Tennis, Badminton, Baseball with 8 ghost runners. Soccer (futbol) is not one of them. In my younger days I played that with a friend, constant running back and forth between goal lines for 2 hours, went home and even though I was young at the time, it was “Miller Time”.
