Also, I was mentored by guys who would say "WTF are you doing?" or "WTH would you do that?" or "Don't do s**t to f' up the game" or "You didn't think I could handle that play on my own". I didn't come up in a touchy/feely crowd. Oh yeah, plus I spent 22 years in the military after being raised by someone who spent 26 years in the military.

In my first game of the season Friday night, my crew chief was of those hard a$$ camp evaluators I work in front of every off-season. His personality as a crew chief was totally different. He was positive, encouraging, and confident in our abilities from the pre-game preparations all the way through to the post-game locker room recap. In our pre-game he even acknowledged his camp observer personality and that he not like that outside of the camp environment.
