"And don't forget the time he went to Willie McGinest and said, 'Hey Willie, if you were on the offensive line and I yelled, 'Screen left!' which way would you block?' Willie said, 'I'd go left.'

"Bill said, 'Well damn, that's right. See, Light? Even a defensive guy knows which way to block."

classic........

A very rare glimpse into how BB really works. Really enjoyed reading that.

Jackie is good, what is the deal? She seems to be at the same level, why is she not going up the ladder?

She really does her work before writing and I love that. When reading her articles, she brings the people to life. You can almost see their faces talking to her. I loved the bit about Vrabel. I never quite appreciated how he might have felt after the trade. Now I know very well. Damn, BB can be cold, I am not cut for this type of business.

That really was one of the most insightful things ever to appear at ESPN concerning BB. He has to be riding them hard this week, too. His cheerful demeanor at the podium yesterday belies a cold steely perfectionist, slowly moving his troops into position to charge toward the mountaintop.

"As you can see," the Belistrator pointed out, "Randy is wide open. The defense let him go. Not that we can hit him, though. Right, Tom?"

Good stuff

That was a nice read. Maybe jackie mac has taken a page out of BB's book and reads her Assante Samuel, "Get Paid" column to herself once a week.

In the first segment of the story, was she actually there in the film room? watching Ihedigbo's reaction? or is that just a writing technique to draw me in?

That was great, and the comments from Vrabel were really interesting. It's good to hear that he no longer takes issue with the trade to KC. I would love to see him here as a defensive coach.
