I'm okay with the emotion Sporano displays.
Night game sunglasses though are a whole different issue (unless he has a medical reason to be wearing them).

I think he actually does have a medical condition. I remember hearing that last season when he was sporting shades in last year's edition of our MNF showdown.

It is some rare medical condition that results in the sunglasses...

Few measure up to the guy the media hates because he doesn't gush or give them the kind of answers that validate their questions. That was all Kara Henderson on NFLN could blather about last evening. That said, Sporano is in a very different predicament. He almost has to acknowledge improvement on offense because it could be what saves his ass this season because that D was a shell of it's former self (considering as the talking heads kept reminding us it was a top ten D last season, top 5 at times, and returned 10 starters). Hopefully the Doofins can clean a few things up and give a couple of other AFC contenders fits, including the one whose HC handed out game balls left and right after Tony Romo handed his team a W Sunday night...and even reserved the last one for himself for winning the inaugral Ryan bowl...

Remember, most of these guys are perpetually concerned about what media perception of them could result in...

I have grown to appreciate BB's mostly calm demeanor on the sidelines. He just seems like a guy who is in control.

Even after that horrible first defensive drive there was no sign of agitation they showed him talking into the headset, no-doubt discussing how they would change things on the next drive.

There are obvious differences in coaches who are involved in the play-calling and game-planning and coaches, cough Sporano cough, who are glorified cheer-leaders on game day.

Would Belichick do this on an opening drive?

Sporano ... ... the air-five slap.

This guy just plain doesn't get it. displaying such an immaturity, I don't know how he is still a head coach in this league when others like cowher, fisher, gruden are waiting for a gig.

I really want a wayward defender from any team crash in to him at full sprint in the side line .. well, may be not.. I was just plain angry looking at the video ..

whew.. what to do, certain personalities really gets me pissed off.

Love to see Sporano and the 2 Ryan brothers coaching on the same team. Probably in-game fist fights between the three.

Fixed that for you.

Pats have 3. BB has 5.

"Build them up when they lose and break them down when they win" is a pretty proven strategy for coaching young men.
