personally i think its a bit of both. don't get me wrong, playing vs. sitting is a no brainer... but his relationship with mangini had to have some factor in the decision. either way, thanks Abe! edit: as for mangini's likability, he's a cerebral kinda coach. a chip off the wanna be belichick block. but that's his coaching style. in his personal life that doesn't really translate to a sour peeved kinda person. pure speculation on my part however.
