He reminds me of a 3-1 coach.Originally posted by George Cumby View PostHe looks like the kid of the guy who owns the construction company. Dad is a tough, bare knuckles guy who worked his way up the ladder, starting as a grunt laborer at age 15. Dad is hard, like 16 penny hard, takes no shit, everyone is more than a little scared of him but they all respect his knowledge and ability. Sonny takes after his mom, he's kind of soft, the sensitive type, he secretly listens to Ed Sheehan, hasn't really been tested, he's always been a disappointment to his father (who says to his friends "Can you believe HE'S my SON?!") and is now being groomed to take over the family business because Dad had triple bypass last week. Everyone knows Junior isn't up to the job. Including Junior.

After a couple of months on the job, Junior faces a big test when one of Dad's long-time employees calls out Junior, and Junior backs down. Everyone's down on Junior now; he's a wuss for sure - but then everyone comes to work the next day to find out that the employee's not only been fired but has been found at home, hanging from a rope in his garage.Originally posted by George Cumby View PostHe looks like the kid of the guy who owns the construction company.

That's what LaFleur reminds me of.
Time passes, and we learn that Junior is ruthless and mean and much, much smarter than Dad about business. The construction company does lousier and lousier work, using cheaper and cheaper materials, and long-time, faithful employees are chopped off at the knees without a thought by Junior. But profits skyrocket, and Junior sends some henchmen out to intimidate the rival construction company. They blow up some buildings, kill a few dogs, and next thing you know Junior has bought them out at pennies on the dollar.
Junior starts doing coke and drinking and partying with prostitutes. The newspapers call him "The King of Construction" and talk is that he's on the short list to be the next governor of his state. Dad is sick and addled at this point, and Junior cuts off his father's medical care, leaving Dad homeless and bitter. Mom gets a Penthouse apartment with three fuzzy white little dogs.

You've got to watch more TV, George.Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

So because he doesn't look like a bartender he can't coach.Originally posted by George Cumby View PostHe looks like the kid of the guy who owns the construction company.

He reminds me a little of Mike Shanahan. He was run out of Oakland after 20 games because he didn't do things the Raider Way. He then won 2 Super Bowls for their division rival.I can't run no more
With that lawless crowd
While the killers in high places
Say their prayers out loud
But they've summoned, they've summoned up
A thundercloud
They're going to hear from me - Leonard Cohen
