An Open Letter to Colt McCoy

Dear Colt-



As a team captain, it behooves you to lead your team, regardless of circumstance. Don't sit in the locker room and cry all game. While you were in the locker room drafting an Evite for your pity party, your team was dying on the field.



Learn a lesson from your bestie Sam Bradford--he went immediately back to the field and went to mentoring and motivating his freshman replacement in a t-shirt. You cuddled with daddy for half-an-hour and took the time to put your pads back on (when you knew you were done for the night) before sulking back to the sidelines to infect the team with your depression.



I knew there was a reason I was pulling for the Tide tonight. I just didn't know that reason was because the Longhorns were led by Nancy Kerrigan.



-Brad

Ouch, seemed like Colt was pretty up and into in the fourth.

Seems a little harsh. What's your problem with Colt?

Little unfair. You don't know what was going on that locker room. the way I understand it they were running test and xrays trying to determine how bad the injury was in order to be able to make a decision as to if he could return or not. That takes time. I DOUBT he was just sitting there crying. he came out and attempted to lead his team the best he could after the decision was made.



Texas made a comeback and were only a few plays from winning that game. Saban is lucky mccoy got hurt because it probably would not have even been a close game if mccoy was still in.

How 'bout the fact that his name is Colt.

McCoy can deal with pain. This wasn’t pain, though. This was something different. “I had no strength in my arm,” he said.



Was it a separation? he was asked. A contusion? A dislocation?



“I never felt anything like this,” he said. “I don’t really know what it is. I just know I can’t throw a ball. My shoulder’s dead.”



It felt as if he’d been sleeping on his arm. He went into the locker room and tried to toss the ball to his father, who also happened to be his high school coach.



The arm, he said, “was like a noodle. ... We iced it for a long time. It just never came back.”



Colt was back there trying to do all he could to get back in the game. It just wasn't going to happen.

Dear Judgemental Fool,



Colt McCoy was doing everything he could to get back on the field because he knew his team didn't have a prayer against Alabama without him. He was begging anybody who would listen to let him try it out on the field. He didn't immediately know he was done because he wasn't feeling pain. His arm was numb.



It wasn't until halftime that he knew he was done after which he came on the field and supported his team, and WOW they rallied. On top of that, Colt's postgame comments were nothing but class.



Your assinine letter only demonstrates your inability to identify leadership and speaks nothing about Colt McCoy's character. I'm embarrassed for you as this letter speaks to your judgement or character or lack thereof.

I thought McCoy's post-game comments were total class. He was gracious, genuine and sincere. He did himself, his team, and his family well....I would have been proud to have him on my team....We need more Colt McCoy's playing college football

Amen. As I always say, "Never let logic, reason and facts get in the way of a good emotional response." snocythe just got it backwards.
