Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 Jim Fassel decided Monday night to cancel the Wednesday afternoon practice to take the team on a fishing/camping trip to Lake George in upstate New York. Well, apparently, Kerry Collins feels good about getting a 3 or 4 hour nap and maybe a little more. Man, I hope he doesn't get in trouble: Kerry Collins said he planned on fishing and also "finding a nice tree and taking a three- or four-hour nap." He also had another idea. "We're going to commandeer a boat and take off," he said. "Probably some lawsuit will come out of it."

Romberjo Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 This is the kind of camaraderie-building move the Skins should be doing more of. Spurrier seems to be oddly ineffective as a motivater; he doesn't really even seem to try to rally the troops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glorydays Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 That doesn't necessarily work for every coach, believe it or not. Fassel IS a motivator and darn good one. He will mince words with his players. Apparently you haven't seen the ball coach in action that much. I wouldn't even dare say he's not a motivator :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom [Giants fan] Posted August 21, 2003 Author Share Posted August 21, 2003 I think building a relationship like this within your team is more important in football than hockey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldskool Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 As long as he doesnt take the boat into a drive-thru liquor store and try to buy himself a bottle of wild turkey, then theres no harm in it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJWatson3 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 i like this idea for a team. the skins could do it and jansen and ramsey would be the leaders. fishing rocks. it teaches patience and discipline (depending on the kind of fishing you are doing). and also provides time for the occasional nap. depends on why you are there in the first place.

Spear Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Fassel comes off as the "Coach that tries too hard" when it comes to this type of stuff. It just seems so contrived and obvious that only the most dense of players would take it at face value and actually cooperate with this little experiment. I'd be willing to bet a majority of the players don't appreciate being dragged off to the woods with a bunch of guys and would actually AVOID making nice nice with their teammates, so that the experiment fails and they never have to be bothered with this BS again. It seems like this guy is too sensitive to what the fans and media think of him and puts on these dog and pony shows to please them more than help his team. I was watching him talk about the Stackhouse situation and I couldn't help but wonder why he was going into such detail over the exact events when most coaches would probably downplay it to the media and keep the situation internal. It's as if he's answering to the media and telling them what they want to hear. It just seems phony to me, but whatever works for him, I guess. I don't fault Kerry Collins one bit for not taking it seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Caps suck because they have had a horrid combo of players and system. Grind it out system with two players that should be in a wide open offense. Then during the playoffs they realise like the Dolphins its time to choke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavyDave Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Fishin and campin with rednecks like collins in the woods. All you need is that banjo music for a deliverance flashback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OURYEAR#56 Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 We should do the same thing. Every year we bring in new players. How can they expect to be a team when there is not chemistry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
