looks like there's a job opening for me

Last Song at Santa Clara
Former Santa Clara play-by-play man Dave Lewis had a point to make -- and he used Beyonce to make it.
Cliff Watts/SIOkay, so you're the longtime broadcaster of a mid-major college basketball team. You're upset that the school has just forced out its longtime basketball coach so it could hire somebody younger. What's your next move? Well, if you're Santa Clara play-by-play man Dave Lewis you show up at a team banquet and sing a bunch of songs that indirectly criticize how the team handled its coaching situation. In the end it costs you your job.Last week, in front of 125 Santa Clara fans and employees, Lewis sang a version of the Beyonce song Irreplaceable that included the line "You've been fired, tell the press you’re retired." Lewis then sang a song about a school that tried to hire Rick Majerus, but ending up hiring an assistant coach. Both songs clearly referenced longtime Santa Clara coach Dick Davey's forced resignation this past season.Lewis, who had been Santa Clara's play-by-play man for the last 12 years, will now have to find a new job. In what seems like his last hoorah, Lewis told the press "If I'm fired for telling the truth in song, I can certainly maintain my integrity and live with the consequences." He certainly maintained his integrity, but now he will have to live with the consequences. Still, you have to have the utmost respect for Lewis. In an era when people will do whatever it takes to keep their jobs, Lewis did what he felt he needed to do, and it ended up costing him his job.By Eric Horowirz
