Some dude in Hollywood prank called well known coaches offering them actual jobs

Source - LOS ANGELES — A 32-year-old Hollywood man who allegedly made prank phone calls to well-known athletic coaches, leading them to believe they were being offered jobs with professional and college teams, was charged today with a felony count of eavesdropping.

According to prosecutors, Tarr called coaches or other officials from NBA, NFL, Major League Baseball and college programs and claimed to be representing other teams, gauging their interest in another coaching position.

Among the victims were University of Hawaii head football coach Norm Chow, Minnesota Vikings head coach Leslie Frazier and San Diego Chargers offensive coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, NBC News reported.

Tarr allegedly called former Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Indianapolis Colts coach and NBC analyst Tony Dungy to offer him the head coaching job at USC. If convicted, Tarr faces up to three years in jail, according to the District Attorney’s Office.

Must read article. I fucking love this guy. Total dick move. Can't you just see Leslie Frazier now? AD is hurt, he is starting a carousel of Matt Cassel and Christian Ponder at QB, and Jared Allan's contract is burning a hole through their future, and it's getting hard not to get down in the dumps. Then he gets this phone call. Honey! You can buy those shoes after all! We got the USC job! Real tough pill to swallow. I don't even know how he can still stand on the sidelines knowing what was almost his. Three years in jail? Well worth it to hear the excitement in Leslie's voice for those few precious minutes. 

PS When I was in prep school everyone had a phone in their room with their own extension. But there was no caller ID or anything. So me and my boys used to dial the extension of other kids on the hockey team who weren't very good and say we were the head coach from big Ivy League programs and that we were very interested in them playing for our school. These kids would be so polite to us and so thrilled that we called. Then they would call their parents and celebrate. All their dreams had come true. Then they would burst into our room to tell us the good news too and we would laugh our dicks off at them and say you literally think Harvard was calling you? You are a moron and you suck at hockey. Didn't feel bad about it at the time. 

Still don't.
