Warren's Post from yesterday

I am making this post with the support of at least several (if not all) of the seniors on the warrior football team about Warren's post from yesterday. I think we all lost a lot of respect for Warren when we read that, and not just for his comments about the seniors, which I will address later in the post. I'll start of with Coach James' "fiery speech." Warren, I think you must have been the lone person on the team who got anything other than a desire to get up and leave from that speech. For one, James was addressing the whole team about having a bad practice so far, though the linemen (over half the positions, since we had the tight ends with us) had just got done with one of our best drill sessions of the year, James really should have addressed the skill positions about focusing in, we were doing it just fine. I can forgive that part of the speech though, as I suppose sometimes a coach needs to talk to his whole team even when only a portion of them are having a problem. However, his speech soon degregaded into a meanlingless ramble. He talked about the very relavent problem of people giving shit to Farley that had culminated in his getting hit by Tre earlier, but then he just started going off about how we shouldn't be giving the sophmores shit about getting an article about them in the paper (even though strong armed warren, D-1 mentality Gavin, and big framed Brug obviously didn;t care, and if anything were happy about it) and then degregaded even further into yelling at us about not giving people shit about their race or ethnic background (something that has never, ever, been a problem with the football team in any way, so the topic was irrelivent).
Now on to your statement about the senior's giving up. You have got it extremly wrong, Warren, the seniors who gave up have left the team already, those of us who remain want to win and have worked this week as hard as we have in any of the 8 weeks prior. However, this was our last week ever on the practice field, we know the plays, we are in condition, and so there is no harm in wanting to have a little fun during stretching. A couple jokes told are not gonna effect the outcome of the game. And even if you disagree and think that some or all of the seniors have given up, you must realize our complete lack of respect for Coach James. He had a very large hand in our season being pissed down the drain, from the people who didn;t go out becuase he was head coach to his play calling in critical situations (a delayed run on 3rd and 25 deep in our own territory against Xavier, for example). I could bring up several other things, but not having played for the man as we have, you wouldn't get it.
As a closing note, I do believe that your class does have the ability to go deep into the playoffs, if not win a state champoinship, however, you will never get past the first round with James at the helm.
