They are what they are, a medical procedure. It's gross that you watched. Normal people stay behind the curtain.

Where did you get the notion I was normal?

So is natural child birth. I watched that twice. ?

We had 2 natural too. 

Also not pretty.

I wanted to be there for every wince and gasp of pain from the wife. Labor is a beautiful thing to witness for a expecting dad.

It’s long been rather common to think of NFL coaches as sleepless psychopaths. It will probably not surprise you to learn that Jets head coach Adam Gase is a keeper of the flame of work-life imbalance.

The Athletic’s Dan Pompei took a long look at the man behind the eyeballs, and, uh, hoo boy. Sleep? Eh, maybe, sometimes, sure, I guess:

During his years with the Dolphins, Gase lived across the street from [offensive coordinator Dowell] Loggains. Sometimes, Loggains would be jostled awake after midnight by his wife, Beth. “Adam’s at the door,” she would say.

Dolphins wide receiver Kenny Stills told Gase to stop texting him post-midnight because he kept waking him up.

“You would get these texts from him until 4 in the morning on a regular basis,” says [ex-Dolphins executive Mike] Tannenbaum, now an ESPN analyst. “I don’t think he sleeps a lot.”

Fueled by five or six 20-ounce cups a day from the Kuerig coffee maker that is an arm’s length from his desk, and maybe a Red Bull here or there, Gase has energy like a power plant. And it doesn’t wane in the wee hours.

There is no window in his office to make him aware of the black of the night or the first light of day.

His wife, Jennifer, says he typically gets home at 2 a.m. and goes back to work at 6. When she travels with him to road games, she gets a separate room because he’s up most of the night watching tape.

 

The birth of one of his children? An inconvenience:

Every Tuesday when he was in Denver, Gase met with [Peyton] Manning at 2 p.m. Except this Tuesday, when Jennifer was delivering Wyatt by caesarean section.

Gase told his wife to schedule the operation for 10 a.m. “So they pulled the baby out of me and said, ‘It’s a boy,’” Jennifer says. “They didn’t even put my organs back and sew me up before he’s like, ‘You good?’ I said, ‘Yeah, I’m good.’” He said, ‘All right then, I’m out.’ They said, ‘You want to cut the umbilical cord?’ He said, ‘No, I’m good.’”

At 2 p.m., Manning was stunned to find Gase waiting for him in the meeting room.

Manning: “You’ve got to be kidding me. Didn’t your wife just have a baby two hours ago?”

Gase: “Yeah, but did you really think I was going to let you win this one?”

Gase also apparently ate pepperoni pizza every night when he was the Dolphins’ coach.

He may be a psychopath.....but he’s OUR psychopath!

The Jets hype train has no brakes at this point.  The past 5 months have been a nonstop drumbeat of changes, improvements and eye-opening moves.  Whether it was the hiring of Gase, the surprise firing of Macc, the signings of Bell and Mosley, the luring of Kalil out of retirement, and now pieces like this that say our coach is likely working 24 hours a day and living at the Atlantic Health Center....I’m starting to feel like this is a setup.

Too much positivity.....Darnold looks great, all the skill guys are clicking, even Polite is coming along.  I’m almost afraid for the games to start. Lol

They asked me if I wanted to cut my kid's umbilical cord as well.  I declined, lol.  It just felt weird to do so, didn't really see the bonding moment there.  

Gase sounds like a savage football lifer, whereas if you were the Lifetime Network, you can spin it as a terrible husband,  But I'm not posting there, so I'll just avoid that part lol.  

I love that he watches film over and over, and gets obsessive about finding an edge.  That's one of the biggest attributes missing from the Jets for at least the past 2 coaches.  

Rex:  Master motivator, and he had a great defensive system that worked at a time.  However, he rarely adjusted anything, rather always trying to just implement his system, regardless of his team's talent, nor the opposition's strength.  He did a bit on defense, especially the Patriots, but that was about it.   

Bowles; I'd be surprised if he knows what the replay button looks like.   

 

[pdxgreen]

Damn.  The coaching staff seems almost, dare I say, competent now.  Makes me wonder how bad things have gotten over the years.  I am sure a dig into online sports media archives will reveal some forgotten gems.

[Losmeister]

what model again?

I chose the wrong profession.

I watched both naturals in the room.  I was fine.  I trust my doctor. I trust my airline pilot.  I better.  The only dicey moment for me is when they catch the baby coming out.  They are so slippery looking

Missed both of my kids births.  Not by my own choice.  My first was my son.  Became an emergency c-section when the epidaural numbed my wife from the waste up rather than down.  Effected her ability to do little things like breathe, which meant my son wasn't getting any oxygen either.  Dad in the waiting room became an afterthought.  My son was born in distress.  My first glimpse of him was in an orderly's arms, rushing him to the neonatal ICU.  He stabilized within 5 minutes.  Baby and wife were both fine; neither suffered any lasting effects, except for the nasty scar on my wife's midsection.  Makes for a good story now, but scary as hell back then.

Then, when my daughter was born 2 years later, it was a scheduled C.  They are prepping my wife, nurse tells me to wait outside the OR and they will call me in in a few minutes.  Couple of minutes later, security tells me I can't wait there.  They escort me to waiting area, assuring me the nurse will know where to find me.  Nurse comes looking for me, can't find me.  Daughter is born. Then they find me.  No drama other than the missing dad.

Insanity is not something we need around our young QB.

I get having fun with this but he's clearly a nut job - and a nut job that was just fired for failing in his previous stint as a HC.

All of his genius and manic behavior and late nights and waking people up and being a terrible husband...Produced the 24th, 25th and 31st offenses in the NFL.  

Maybe he should try sleeping some more.

I declined for my first kid as well. But the doctor wouldn't take no for an answer, so I ended up doing it. For my second kid I didn't even try to argue with him. I just got it over with quickly. LOL

I'll buy into the Gase hype when we start winning a lot of games.  Every coach we hire is the greatest thing since sliced bread until we see what he can really do.  Gases offenses with the phins were nothing to write home about and it is not all 'oh he had no qb' excuse.  He has a grade A Qb and a grade a RB. 

I would up-vote twice if I could, I hope he learned his lessons and is a success but he needs to prove it first

I had no idea why it was considered a perk.  My wife had a c-section, so she couldn't do it, and was disappointed.  I'm not sure why anyone wants to do it.  Here's the one thing that kept you alive for all these months, and in my first act as dad, let met cut that off for you.

Hope you sued, anesthesiologists have more malpractice insurance than any other doctor. May as well take advantage! 

And I joke only because everything worked out!
