"Stats are for losers, you keep looking at them and we're gonna keep looking at the wins"


LOOOVE IT!!!!

That was my favorite by far...   Just the look on his face said it very clearly.

YEA I SAID IT!

"yeah, i said it" is good. My daughter had some guy trying to make a joke with her in public(5yrs old by the way) and she told the guy "Youre weird." When he he said "what?", she replied with "yeah I said it."

I lost it and had to chuckle this guy just got owned by a 5 year old.

plus it beats take off your pants! lol.

OK, he seems reasonable and positive.  He sticks mostly to press/coachspeak, but gives out an occasional pithy quote.  What is it that people see at these press conferences that make them dog on Raheem so hard?  I mean....enh....so you don't care for his style, maybe?  But there's not all that much style at a press conference...it's coachspeak and stuff. Don't get what is so negative about Rah's communication skills.  He seems to win a lot of people over. And I'm one of 'em.

Glad he's our coach.

Isn't it obvious? They can't "relate". 

Some folks need to broaden their horizons a lil bit.

LOOOVE IT!!!!

Had he said that, that would be a decent quote.  But he did not say that.   

He said:

"stats are for losers, you keep lookin' at stats, we'll keep tryin' ta get wins"

I find it funny that someone who supposedly is a heemy supporter would title a thread "getting better".    In other words, he obviously wasn't ready to be a head coach yet, but he's getting better.   Nobody ever said Dungy was getting better after he became a head coach - because he was ready to be a head coach from day one (as it should be if you are promoted to that position.  why promote someone to a position they aren't ready for?).

Rah is a whole lot more fun and entertaining than say, Bill Bellichek.   The latter speaks in such a monotone with flat expression, I'm surprised he just doesn't fall over while falling asleep.  I know that's his style and that he wins a few games here and there, but his delivery is far far the worst in the league IMHO.

christ, Java was getting better about the Rah bashing untill now....look. Nobody's saying he was perfect in 2009, but you're beating a dead horse at this point! We've all moved on, we like him now, why don't you just loosen up and get along with the guy. it's getting pretty sad that you keep doing this. you arn't convincing anyone.

[JDog]

Nobody's saying he was perfect in 2009,

He's not perfect now either - and never will be.

Honestly, if i could compare Raheem's press conference style to one coach...it would be Jon Gruden.

The Bucs had to lock him up in a hurry. He was off interviewing someplace, was it Denver IIRC?  So they made their move and glad they did.
