Ditto.
But I'd be happier w/a win in Minny moreso than being right.

Kind of like taking a pig and putting your favorite dress on it along with a wig and lipstick and then trying to convince all of us that it's the bell of the ball.
Hmm...
Ah yes, now I remember... Isn't your description of Wade's coaching style pretty much how he conducted himself during his first two years with us? In fact, wouldn't you say that it defined him to a "T"? Well how did that work out?
Now let's take it a step further. Do you remember a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away when Wade in the 'Boys had a chance for redemption in Season 2 by going into Philly for their last regular season game and by winning, they would get into the playoffs as a wildcard? Now how did that one work out? Wasn't their some kind of throttling experienced with one team's boot on the juggler while the other had the life sucked out of it?
And didn't Wade the next morning at the PC try to convince the 99.9% of us that wanted his head on a spit that things were going to be different during his 3rd year as head coach? Wasn't there some mention of him being more assertive with his players, like if he needed to yell he was going to yell very 'loudly'? That he was going to hold his players and coaches more accountable and if he needed to use a stick then he was going to use a really, really big stick?
If my points are correct and this is exactly how he conducted himself this season, then doesn't it contradict what you were saying? Of course he could have been simply paying all of us lip service (including his boss) and never really changed at all but that wouldn't make any sense now would it?
Yummy...all this talk about pigs and lipstick have suddenly made me hungry for bacon. :tongue:

Aside from being the most talented, they had a top five offense and the most dominating defense I have seen since the '85 Bears. Their leadership (both internally and externally) was probably their greatest strength.
Coach Tom was mere seconds/yds away from having this team winning the first two Superbowls and having the trophy named "The Landry" instead of being named after some loud-mouth, vertically challenged, Guinea Eye-talian dude that gets more credit than he deserves.
