After great debate, I have decided to post the first blog that ever came into my mind when I took the very hesitant step into the blogosphere (yes...that is what the kids are calling it these days). I already know that I will receive an excruciating amount of criticism for this entry, but I have to say it.
Steve Spagnuolo is on my $%^& list for leaving the Giants!!! And yet, at the same time, he is just the same as every other money-hungry defensive coordinator, coach, college coach or any other type of football coach for that matter. Sure...it makes 'perfect sense' to leave the G-men to coach the Rams. I mean that team is really going to be easily turned around before he decides to leave in 2 years tops. But I just don't get it!
Where is the loyalty to these athletes? Spags spends two years completely transforming the Giants defense and then just up and leaves at the first head coaching opportunity that he gets? That's pretty weak and as the truest fan out there- I find it to absolutely heart-breaking. I'm at the point where if I were to see Steve Spagnuolo on the street, I would hope that I would bitch slap him just out of sheer disappointment.
He is now among the ranks of other coaches who apparently feel no need to abide by their contracts or actually live up to the standards to which they were hired for (if that didn't make sense, just try re-reading it because it sounds find in my head). In case you're wondering, I'm talking about those incredibly ballsy college coaches who think...oh wow! I have a great college team, that means I can coach in the NFL. Oh wait, this is a lot harder. I better not stay for more than 2 months and then I'm out of here. You know who you are...Nick Saban (punk) and Bobby Petrino (pathetic). Why even bother making the switch if you're going to bail? How can these athletes be expected to work with that kind of inconsistently? It's just rude if you ask me and I've had enough of this.
Anyway, I feel that I have cleared the air and if Spags was to read this entry, he would feel pretty bad about his horrendous decision to leave next year's Super Bowl champion New York Giants. Good luck trying to work with.....oh wait...you don't have any good players on your team...that's right. Ouch.
Night night.

What about loyalty from the athlete themselves? This occurs quite more frequently than it does from the coaching staff. I notice you say nothing about that and perhaps you should rethink whether, in Steve's case, he is just trying to improve his quality of life (after all, who wants to work with Tom Coughlin?) Athletes, at least to me, tend to move around more, forever chasing the "money".
ReplyDeleteI can't even talk about this.
ReplyDeleteI'm angry just thinking about it. I wish the Rams nothing but a horrid, horrendous, and otherwise deplorable season.
LET'S GO GIANTS! (...I know it's a few months away, I'm practicing.)
How about gratitude to someone, who probably was the key to your team winning a championship? How about, "Thank you for all you did to make my team Super Bowl Champs. I am grateful... Now I hope you can reap the rewards in your career, and do what's best for your family."
ReplyDeleteAs a fan of the team, a big fan, I know how rare it is for any team to win a Superbowl, and I'm glad that Spags was here to help my team win one, so when I see the Rams play versus a team other than the Giants, I'll be rooting for him to win.
But... when the Ram's play the Giants, I'll want him to see what he's missing!
