Fred T. Jane Posted June 14, 2006 Share Posted June 14, 2006 It's Otto's war-torn body, however, that gives him the right to fight for his number -- his "00" -- and defend it the way a Hall of Fame lineman protects a quarterback.So when did Otto earn a Purple Heart for being wounded in battle? [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

BlueSky Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Otto comes off sounding like a complete jackass. I have no idea if this figures into his stance, but it seems many NFL players from "back in the day" are bitter over the fact that with the money they made then, they had to work jobs in the off-season and after their playing days were over where today some guys make more on a shoe endorsement deal than the old-timers made in their entire careers.
