So I'm coaching a game a couple of weeks ago.
We have this newer player on the team who just moved in. He had some athletic talent, but in the 2-3 weeks he was with us, he never wanted to work with us coaches to learn anything. never tried to learn our checks, our reads, etc. He seemed to ahve a bad attitude, and think he already knew it all. On top of that, he missed just about every other practice. So we were on our last leg with the guy.
So we're playing the game, and he's on our sideline, and turning around talking to girls in the stands. One of the other caches looks at him and tells him he needs to have his eyes on the field. A few minutes later, same thing happens. The third time the coach sees him, he says, "Get in pushup position."
The kid just looks at him.
"I said, get in pushup position,"
again, the kid just stares.
Finally the head coach walks over, says something to him, and the kid decides right then and there he's quitting.
So he throws his helmet down, and starts walking away. He decides, though, that he doesn't want to walk to the end of the field to get away, he wants to jump the fence that divides our field from where the stands are. By then, all the people in the stands are staring at the kid for making such an ass out of himself.
But...
As he gets to the top of the fence, he catches his cleat on the top, and falls over the fence and face-down onto the concrete on the other side.
The stands erupted in laughter, and it was hard for us coaches not to laugh,a s well.
Funniest part was the old man in the stands yeling as he's laughing at him, "Bet ya ain't goin' do that agi'n!"

Mike Singletary is the man. I love how he handled it

**petegz28** · 10-27-2008, 10:12 PM

No one in the game today is above Singletary. I like his attitude.

**wazu** · 10-27-2008, 10:20 PM

Great to hear, even if the "penalized for lining up 10" thing was a little weird. I hope the 49ers start winning just for Singletary's sake.

hell ya, Singletary is one of my all-time favs

I would agree that stuff like this can backfire... sometimes players tune coaches out. But on the flipside, this is Mike Singletary. Not some two bit hack that never really played in the NFL. You would be insane to even suggest Davis is more of a leader or more knowledgable than Mike Singletary.

If I had to pick one NFL player to travel with me through a dark alley filled with Ray Lewis and his knife-wielding posse, I'd choose Mike Singletary.

Beautiful! I don't think I have ever actually heard Singletary speak before today. His press conference has me ready to play. Great stuff.

Man, this is going to make the next Herm presser that much more depressing.

Yep, He has earned that right to say what he wants. He's ****ng Mike Singletary. He was apart of the best defense in football history and is probably the best MLB to ever play the game.

Chills from Mike Singletary. That's a ****ing leader man.
