difference = Ray Allen PLAYED for the sonics
not warmed the bench and threw hissy fits
yeah, they weren't using Randy to his full potential, but Randy wasn't using himself to his own potential. the captain of the team is supposed to motivate the squad not pout on the sidelines.
Sapp knew he was on a shitty team, he knew that the offense wasn't doing shit, did he give up? did Burgess? hell, ANY OF THE DEFENSE? no. they went out every week and played football while the offense went out every week and showed up to get their check. you could see the frustration in every defensive player when they were interviewed after games because they were out there busting their asses only to have the offense roll over on them. yeah it didn't help that our coaching was terrible, but shit, you can still at least try...
