My open letter to Mike Singletary, the new coach of the San Francisco 49er's:
I watched you play for the Bears and perform in the Superbowl shuffle (priceless by the way) and just this weekend I watched you return some dignity to the NFL.
Thank you.
Thank you for illustrating to the rest of the league what it means to be a coach and what it means to lead. For far too long coaches and owners have stepped aside and let the "marquee" players do anything and everything they wanted. For even longer coaches and owners have looked the other way when players gets into trouble off the field.
I have a feeling that all stops with you. Your sentencing Davis to the locker room was just the medicine football needs.
No more sharpies and ocho cinco, no more hiring bodyguards to keep your player's nose clean and no more catering. It is a sight of beauty to know at least 1 football team has someone coaching with the cajones to stand up and say no matter what talent you have, no matter how great you may be, YOU are not above US (team).
I hope the rest of the league follows your lead and forces players to act like men. We need a many more Singletary's to get the job done, but you Sir, are a hell of a start.
