This week was not kind to college football coaches, as both Miami's Larry Coker and Alabama's Mike Shula were chased out of town after disappointing seasons. The firings didn't end there - in the NFL, the Broncos were ousting their quarterback, Jake Plummer, and in hockey, the Chicago Blackhawks said goodbye to coach Trent Yawney.

The setting is dark and full of loud, sexual music and raging hormones. We end up at one person's place, and things heat up for that moment of instant gratification with total abandonment.
