Napoleon Bonaparte's take on Wade Phillips ..

[igtmfo]

I came across the following. Sound familiar?

Napoleon Bonaparte, in 1807 letter to the king of Holland:

"... A prince who gets a reputation for good nature in the first year of his reign, is laughed at in the second. The love that kings inspire should be virile - partly an apprehensive respect, and partly a thirst for reputation. When a king is said to be a good fellow, his reign is a failure. How can a good fellow - or a good father, if you prefer it so - bear the burdens of royalty, keep malcontents in order, and either silence political passions, or enlist them under his own banner? ..."

Kings are not analogous to NFL head coaches of the 21st century, imo.

Regardless, it is an interesting quote. Thanks for it.

Is it better to be loved or feared?

I think Napoleon would have a pretty good run as Cowboys coach. He would be kind of an awesome person and make faces, look something like Gruden

On that topic, unbelieveable that Oakland would whup Tampa. Guys must lay down in places other than Dallas ...
