that had nothing to do with character was classic. it was something like "tuscy is a good dude... he beat cancer, he coached football, he works full time"
now, to be fair, i guess in retrospect i can see what he was going for. volunteerism, specifically with youths, is a good and commendable thing. but in my experience, most of the football coaches i was around were kind of assholes. and obviously its great he survived cancer. i kind of hate the term "beat" because as we've said before... it implies that people who died from it were "beaten" or somehow less valiant in their fight. i know thats not what he meant, its just a pet peeve of mine. but surviving cancer is a blessing for him and his family. im sure an experience like that would build character and improve perspective, but it doesnt make you immune from all criticism, otherwise he owes on of our own a major apology.
but yeah, this isnt a dig at haighter, i respect him for sticking up for his buddy... but tuscy.... this guy is not my kind of guy. and now that im thinking of it, the last item may have been something about him having uprooted and moved to CA for work. which i think is what stood out to me as being kind of funny, because it seemed like he was kind of praising himself. but he can hop in and correct me if im remembering incorrectly.
