I Just Discovered a Conspiracy

While talking to Patrick about how everyone thinks he's 12 years old for his rather embarrassing post about Mike D'Antoni, I realized something rather disconcerting: there is an inordinate number of coaches in every sport with the first name Mike. The more Patrick and I listed, the scarier it got. Behold:

NFL
Mike Tomlin, Pittsburgh Steelers
Mike Holmgren, Seattle Seahawks
Mike Shanahan, Denver Broncos
Mike McCarthy, Green Bay Packers
Mike Nolan, San Francisco 49ers
Mike Martz, assistant on the 49ers
Mike Smith, Atlanta Falcons

NBA
Mike Brown, Cleveland Cavaliers
Mike Woodson, Atlanata Hawks
Mike D'Antoni, Phoenix Suns (come to the Knicks, Mike!)
Mike Dunleavy, Los Angeles Clippers

NHL
Mike Babcock, Detroit Red Wings
Mike Kitchen, St. Louis Blues
Michael Therrien, Pittsburgh Penguins... c'mon, that counts
Mike Keenan, Calgary Flames

MLB
Mike Scioscia, Los Angeles Angels

That's fifteen head coaches over four sports and one well-known assistant (Martz). Note also that the MLB only has one Mike. And that's just head coaches / managers -- who knows how many Mikes there are total if you count all assistants and specialty coaches. What does this conspiracy mean? Where does it lead? Who's behind this? Stay tuned as we dig deeper here at PSB.
