For those folks who say that Danny Boy is merely young and impetuous, might I remind you that he is 40 years old. One might not have to possess the wisdom of Solomon at 40, but controling your temper and preventing yourself from lashing out at underlings is something that the vast majority of successful and well-adjusted 40-year-olds have mastered.
To those who say that Danny Boy has changed because he has seen the light since Joe Gibbs returned to town, let me remind you that the only instant conversion of an adult that had a lasting effect happened on the road to Damascus and was accompanied by a blinding flash of light. Joe Gibbs is one hell of a football coach but even he will not claim that kind of power.
Before anyone asks me why I hate Danny Boy - as has happened here several times in the past - let me say once again that I do not hate Danny Boy. I reserve hate for people who do really monstrously odious things. I hate child molestors; I hate people like Adolf Hitler; you get the idea. Danny Boy has never done anything in his life that has even brought him close to "hateful". Nothing that he has done in his lifetime is worth the effort for me to hate him.
