While I was surprised to see [Todd Bertuzzi] implicate his coach as part of the psychotic mechanism that triggered him to break [Steve Moore]'s neck in 2005, as someone who has spent a good portion of more than a decade around multiple coaching personalities, Todd's allegations of his coach prompting him to action came to me as no surprise.

After hearing such a statement by my former defensive co-ordinator in the NFL, never did I ever think to myself, "Gee, I think that means he wants me to go out and break that quarterback's arm the first chance I get."

So I know if I see a borderline illegal block against one of my linemates that injures him and my coach is furious and wants us to "exact some revenge," he is not actively trying to turn us into killers on the field, but showing us how much he cares for our well-being while venting about the injustice of it all.
