Homer gets roped into coaching the kids’ lacrosse team with Milhouse’s dad, Kirk, who is in desperate need of a friend. When Kirk gets too clingy, Homer vents about how much of a loser he is. Kirk overhears his rant and disappears, right when the team needs him most: the championship game…
Joe Mantegna shows up tonight as Fat Tony, so I think we have to assume that Homer is a shitty coach but the team does well with Kirk at the helm, Homer places a bet on the championship game and needs Kirk to win it when he has a last second realization that he is not the reason the team has done well. Sorry for the runon sentence, but i am trying to finish the post as fast as possible so that I can go back to pretending that zombie simpsons has been cancelled.

I don’t think Fat Tony was actually in this one (if he was, it was a blink-and-you-miss-it cameo). The plot did not involve gambling.
No fat tony or gambling. Just another mediocre “nobody likes Kirk” episode with some funny gags here and there.
So if Kirk is such a good coach, then why is Homer needed on the team?
Oh that’s right. Because we can’t go 1 episode without that wacky Homer being around.

It’s not even like it would be that hard to come up with a good/funny reason for Homer to coach.
you didn’t see him, because fat tony died a long time ago. it’s fit tony now
