It actually would help his stress level if he could learn to handle himself in a more professional and productive way. I like the analogy of coaches working officials. There are ways that get positive results and ways that don't. You don't have to be a Bowden, you just have to be professional. >For Urban to throw a temper tantrum and draw a line in the sand over something >as minor as this is ridiculous. I'm will Helen on this for two reasons. First, UM3 needs to learn how to handle stress for his own health reasons. This is the opposite of the approach he should be taking. Second, take a lesson from mud. You get a little mud on a nice jacket and leave it be; it will dry up and flake off on its own. You try and clean it off immediately, and its gets worked into the fabric. The stain never goes away, and the jacket is ruined. Perceived bad press is like mud. Just leave it alone, and let it go away. Attack the press, and be prepared to be stained forever. To be frank, I didn't even think the press was that bad. I read the article (it was posted to GatorNews) and read "real quarterback" to mean traditional as opposed to hybrid. I never once thought that it was derogatory to Tebow or reflected poorly on Deonte. -Zeb -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatortalk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject. -- GATORS: ONE VOICE ON SATURDAY - NO VOICE ON SUNDAY! 1996 National Football Champions | 2006 National Basketball Champions 2006 National Football Champions | 2007 National Basketball Champions 2008 National Football Champions | Three Heisman Trophy winners: Steve Spurrier (1966), Danny Wuerffel (1996), Tim Tebow (2007) - Visit our website at www.gatornet.us To unsubscribe from this group, send email to gatortalk+unsubscribegooglegroups.com or reply to this email with the words "REMOVE ME" as the subject.
