"The want and need to stand by my commitment to the team that I coach and the school that I represent really overshadowed any other consideration," Miles said Tuesday while attending the American Football Coaches Association convention.
Here's to you, Les. I would have missed your unique use of the English language.

I read a lot of posts on here.
Frankly, this sounds more like the vernacular of the anti-Miles crowd.

Your first post seemed sarcastic and hence my response about the rantards.
I am actually confused now
are you deriding Les or the nitpicking rantards who mock him :).

I hope you realize that 'need,' as used by Les in this sentence, is indeed a properly used noun.

one day when the use of words change in Webster- we will thank Les

It's easy. when he says "the want" relax and substitute "the desire" and your life will resume normally.

My first post was sincere. I love Les's whimsical use of the King's English.
He's our own Casey Stengel.

Yeah. I don't understand why people keep bringing it up. Every time he uses it, it's a noun.
But the IQ on this board is overwhelming at times.

Why thank you for the grammar lesson, Prominetown.
I left Lake Charles around 1980, but I'm glad they're still teaching grammar at McNeese.
I don't believe I--or anyone that I know of except the anti-Miles idiots--said that "want" used as a noun was grammatically anathema.
It is indeed correct.
It's just a quaint, "old world," and kinda extra-formal way of speaking when used all the time like Les does it.
Okay ... does that explain it all?
