Amendola was a star performer on a New
England Patriots football team that won the league championship two years ago
and made it to the Super Bowl again last year. Now he has just gone to the
Miami Dolphins, winless in their three trips to the playoffs in the past decade.
Amendola is a poster boy for the saying, “People don’t leave
organizations – they leave managers.”
This
week, the Associated Press quoted him gushing about his new coach, Adam Gase:
“It’s almost like Coach Gase is one of the
guys, one of the boys and you wanna fight hard for your boys. Back in New
England it’s almost like you got a principal and a principal’s office . . . you
know, in a good way and in a bad way, too.”
