It took the better part of 3 years before the fanbase really turned on Dooley and some are still making excuses for him.
didn't read through first pages but initial thoughts are... people need shared experiences in order to grow together, anything that creates accountability, leadership and competition is a positive thing... if it creates some leaders on the team and brings them together then good... is it a little cheesy sure.
"Coach, I heard ________ was at Tin Roof drinking the other night. How does that affect the points standings in the Volympics? I'll hang up and listen"
Counzo didn't announce it to the world, a player tweeted it out. Counzo also walks the walk. I agree with everything else to an extent, but why make such a big deal about it? Shut the **** up and do it. I can't stand the fact the term "VOLympics" is now in this fanbase's vocabulary. You've got a handful of players that stop by the NICU because they want to and no one talks about it. You get a silly game based on not wearing a hat crooked or pants sagging and you scream it from the rooftops for people to see and hear it. I would love for this to be false.
I tend to agree, but the bottom line is this: were we kicking people's derrières on the football field, nobody would give a flying flip about this.
It's a deal that he's probably done before, but then the morons in the PR department get a hold of it and make a big deal out of it. JMO
