COACH yes a bummer. He is struck in his own bullshit. He is unable lacks the ability to be honest with himself. His energy is uninspireing. He is not genuine. He is no affable. He is already in the process of old age ugliness. Sad.sad.sad. I’m 72yrs old. I work very hard to not become what I’m seeing what coach is already becoming. I hope DEE doesn’t follow. A million dollar wining as DEE has is venerable to becoming how pride screws up people. She is losing the gift of grace, humility and real gratitude. Because Immaturity is too much for her success. I love her success. Lets see what it and she look like in a few yrs. She won’t be a CIRIE. That’s the true of it. Dee gravitated to people in Season 50 who don’t have the qualities of the character to win again. Cirie? How many times has she stood at the plate? Played HANDBALL everytime with poise, intelligence and venerable humility.
