Bamm! There you go! And more coaches should have this attitude! Coach Payton has certainly been that way...

There was an article recently on "coach killers" , players, mostly quarterbacks, that can kill coaches' careers...

Spagnulo had better forget about who was signed to what FA contract, and who was picked Round 1 and get guys who can get after it!

The FA signing of Bunkley is starting to look like a gem; he really was disruptive on that goal-line stand and I think you live with the mistakes but you match him with Hicks!
