Singletary confinement

The stare. Mike Singletary had it and every football player, fan and coach knew it. He was by himself a Monster of the Midway as linebacker for the Chicago Bears. You did not want to mess with him then, and as he proved in his coaching debut Sunday, his own players do not want to mess with him now. In the day and age when over paid professional players think they can do whatever they want, Coach Singletary sent Vernon Davis and the rest of the 49ers a message. It is about team. Singletary sent Davis to the locker room for an early shower after he was penalized for unsportsmanlike conduct in the 4th quarter. I have an immense amount of respect for a coach who would do this at all, especially in their first game. Principles and respect for the game are not held in as high reagrd as they should be, but Singletary is a true football player. He loves the game, and more importantly respects the game. Yes, he awkwardly participated in the Super Bowl Shuffle with the rest of the 1985 Bears, but that was off the field and more importantly was dome with the TEAM, it was not a solo effort (and thank goodness because he could have given American Idol reject William Hung a run for his money). I do not get a vote, but even though Jeff Fisher has the Tennessee Titans at 6 and 0 on the season, I would already give coach of the year honors to Singletary. Keep up the good work coach!
