country music according to Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll

  • Interviewer: What about country music?
  • Coach Carroll: I don't listen to country at all. I don't like it. I never turn it on, I only turn it off.
  • Interviewer: As I've gotten older, I've grown to like country music.
  • Coach Carroll: I guess I'm not feeling as old as you then.

In real life, it’s when you’re right that it’s most important not to be a jerk. On a forum everyone hides behind anonymity. Respect is optional.

How can you prepare for less than full speed unless you are going to play that way?

If you don’t prepare these kids at full speed, if they don’t work every time they put their hand down at full speed, then they aren’t getting ready.

You know what they’re getting ready for?

They’re getting ready to get beat.
