Mike Leach will be missed. He’s an interesting character and brilliant mind. There are so many wonderful stories that have been shared about him over the last few days. Leach hated questions about football and preferred to talk about a wide range of other non-sports topics that he was knowledgeable about. If I ever had the chance to meet Mike Leach, one question I would have asked him is ‘Do you think Walter White was a good father?’ I knew he was a big fan of the tv series ‘Breaking Bad’ and I would be curious to get his answer on this topic.
If you could have asked Mike Leach one question, what would it be?

Will Argentina or France win the World Cup?
