My two cents: This Raheem the Dream is some kind of leader. He tells it like it is to his players, just like my old pal Earl Weaver. Hey, if it worked for George Patton, it can work for a football coach.

Defensive players run past Sean Mahan quicker than when my boyhood friends and I used to run past ushers to sneak into Ebbets Field.
