The Lovie Smith Is Highly Optimistic/The Team Likes Him Zone--I'm not sure why people are so stunned that Lovie Smith would have high hopes. For starters, he's the head coach of the team, why wouldn't he think they'll do well? Secondly, It's not like he's brand new... he does this every year. And the comments of players make sense. No player in his right mind is going to come out in Training Camp and say, "Eff that guy."
I realize it was the last day before Camp actually started, so the only thing to talk about was Lovie's presser, but sometimes I would rather they write nothing at all. Sure, I'd have no Den to provide you, but I wouldn't have to trudge through all of these silly articles, either.
