With the supposed-to-be-bigger-than-God Miami Heat looking ugly on the court and sputtering to an 8-6 record, the calls for doofy coach Erik Spoelstra’s professional head have reached a fever pitch.


Okay, so we’re not at Isiah Thomas in New York territory, but another loss to a mediocre team and we may be. Even our columnist laureate Luther Campbell thinks Spoelstra should hitchhike out of town so Pat Riley– Heat president and noted evil wizard— can once again mold a courtside folding chair to his Armani-clad ass.

That said, it should be noted that firespo.com, where you can vote to can the sad-looking schlub, did not just pop up in response to the recent clamor. We’ve been clicking on it almost all season. Since you can vote once a day, we’re probably responsible for about 30 of the nearly 9,000 clicks it’s registered.

Seriously, Riles: When you buy a Bugatti, you don’t let your chaffeur drive it.
