I don't think my teammates are liking me right now because they usually call me every night and ask what the game plan is for our next game so ya, I don't think they're to impressed with me right now. And you gotta think, it's JUST because I missed one practice. Like seriously? It ain't that big of a deal to miss one practice. I mean, cut me some slack. I was stabbed like 4 to 5 times by Mr. Stupid face salt there.

Anyways, I go home and go to bed because I've had a long day. I lay down and fall asleep in the hotel room around 2:30 in the morning. I wake up at 6:15 thinking about the game against the chargers and if Cam is gonna have a good arm when he passes it to me. He hasn't been impressed with me either. Again, just because one missed practice. I do see the point on from where it's a playoff game but, oh well right? I fall back asleep around 7:00 and wake up at 10:30 as I see dereck watching our season highlights on youtube. Cameron is sitting watchin sports center, and my dad is still sleeping. Wow, what else is new? Just 3 more days until the game. I just need to apologize and maybe my team will forgive me. Hopefully....

I call a team meeting in the locker room at 3:30. Everyone of our roster is there, even our coordinators and our Manager and owner but, no coach. I look at all of them and say, "Ok guys, I know all of you aren't in the slightest moods to be talking to me right mow but I had to call you guys down here to talk to you." "I'm really sorry on missing that practice a couple days ago. I don't know how I over slept to miss it. It's a big practice, I know, but I just really wish I would've been at the practice and not've over slept. My alarm didn't go off and I don't know why. "But I'm just hoping you guys will forgive me. Can all of you guys do that?" For the team?" They all go one by one saying, "Of course Jay." I look at them all and say, "Thanks guys, we just have one problem, we have no coach. Cameron looks at me and says, "Well Jay, you're the captain." You make the decision to promote one of our coordinators to become our new head coach." I say," Thanks Cam." I look at dad and say, " Dad, you've brought us through a lot this year, but how would you like to become our new head coach?" He looks at me and says, " Of course!" We all start cheering as I'm happy. Do you know why? Because I have my teammates trust back. We have a new head coach, and we now have a chance of whooping the chargers asses in the conference game.
