    Good find. I tried to respect Shine's opinion but his fandom for Deion won't let it go. I know I have supported a lot of questionable characters knowingly and unknowingly over the years when rooting for my teams. I'm open to info when people present it bad or good. I have my memories of their playing days but I'm not going to bat for strangers especially when what is out there about their pasts are shady at best.

    I loved Walter Payton. The NFL has a man of the year award named after him. But there is some really questionable stuff out there about his character. I dont know if it's true or not but I have fond memories of his playing days and I'll leave it at that. I stepped back from wanting to know about these players personal lives a long time ago in part because who really knowd whats true and we all have our faults.

    so who tf are you debating? fall back. ive repeatedly said im not talking about the person, im talking about the coach. if u go to sleep every night with deion the person on your mind, YOU have a problem as well. either debate me about the coach, or keep it moving. stop making up arguments.

    Not sure what you're getting at. Urban was a grest CEO. A great motivator. A great sports psychologist. He's obviously got some questionable personality and character traits and I'm not sure he'd be a great or good sustained coach.

    honestly, there's no aggression in my response to you. personally im a huge urban fan, absolutely/of course he is a great coach.

    my only point is urban was a win at all costs type of coach. it's not hard to find his off field transgressions. if deion's off field character negates his coaching achievements, why don't people knock urban for his coaching achievements as well?

    Just guessing because his achievements were at the some of the highest levels of football other than the NFL. No problem man. We're all gators here. Well...except for a couple trolls lol.

    Nobody questions what deion did as an athlete. He was a monster at fsu and in the NFL and was a solid pro baseball player too. I think most here are waiting to see what he is as a coach since he doesn't have much of a resume and certainly not at higher levels of competition yet. Thats all.
