Scott Mitchell


What was it like to play for Don Shula?


“I didn’t really fully appreciate how good of a coach he was until after I left Miami. We did the same thing every day. We had the same schedule, it never changed, and it probably never changed the whole time he was there throughout his entire career. He really didn’t ever run a play in the game that he just didn’t have a 100 percent confidence in that he hadn’t practiced that you know was going to work. He put a lot of onus on the quarterback having responsibility. You were responsible to get the team into a good play. From day one he said call your own plays in practice ... I didn’t even know any of the plays and I had to call my own plays and he did that for two reasons: to make you learn the offense but also to call the plays you had confidence in and I didn’t really fully appreciate all those things until I went other places and other people just didn’t do those things and how complicated they made things and how hard and how they really took that instinct out of you and just made you more of a robot-type thing. You had to learn new offenses almost every week. He just drilled the fundamentals into you and you just did the same thing over and over. It could become boring but it was very effective and he brought out the best in his players.”

Nothing new to report ....rambling




War is dragging on with no end in sight.....

Politicians are robbing the country blind.....more pork projects every year ....waste...waste...waste...and we keep voting these sons-of-bitches back in...we deserve the government we got!

Gang members are killing each and over-populating prisons...

Religious fakers are taking advantage of peoples faith.....

Imus is going to fight his humiliating dismissal through the legal system.....screw the Rev. Al Sharpton!

Anna Nicole is still dead.....

The Miami Herald has become a terrible newspaper.....down to just 300,000 subscribers....it's filled with a lot of ads and wire service news....with just a few local articles and virtually no investigative reporting on our corrupt public officials.....the New Times actually has more news than the Herald.....what a shame!

I went to the movies last week and got a jumbo popcorn and (2) jumbo cokes.....$17 .... HOLLY SHIT!

I just got a new Dell PC with Windows Vista.....it had a corrupt driver installed and didn't work out of the box....pretty bad QC for Dell ......and screw Microsoft....I should have got an Apple!!

Walking on the beach this morning I saw this sand castle and took a picture with my phone camera so I could share it.......the wonders of technology
