Getting into Madcap's Mind (By Dustin)

Written by Dustin karp:

They say first impressions are everything. They say perception is everything and reality is nothing. "They" never must have met MADCAP. You can throw everything you ever thought about reading people out of the window. Your first impression of MADCAP probably went like this: "who is this wild crazy guy." And it probably still is for most of you.

He's the guy who said I will never make it in far in track when I was training two hours every night. He told me to give up because I can't hang with the bigdawgs. However, he also was the first one to take care of my dog after work because I couldn't walk. He was the first to put down everything to make sure a maddawg was okay.It was never really about winning or losing on the field. I'm sure he would tell you otherwise, but he laughed when we lost. He called the winning teams a dynasty and made Andy turn into the Incredible Halk. He would yell out "we just got whooped, hahahha" "Yeah, so fucking funny CAP to just be so gleeful that we lost," I would reply.

Yet, he yelled at us when we were winning. This is the main reason why whe lost the player we named "Benedict Arnold Schor": It was a pre-season game, the Maddawgs were playing a team called Conquest. The Dawgs were up 3-2 and Schor just ran for an interception making the game 4-2. When the defense got back on the field, Schor was still smiling and laughing about the the last interception. Cap turns to Schor and yells: "stop smiling because we still haven't won the game." I was no help in the matter either. Schor later told me he thought I was going to pull a knife out of my sock and slit his throat because I was so pissed at him after he told the WR's to just run out seven yards and do a curl. People always say Cap is crazy for cutting people off the Maddawgs like he does. Sometimes he does go overboard; however, in most cases he makes good choices. MADCAP gets bored. When he gets bored, he starts cutting. Sometimes he uses people as pawns in a game. A sacrifice for the King. However, the King's Rookes (Mike D and Roger) left swiftly off the maddawgs after the dictatorship of MADCAP went out of control. I still don't agree with that but Nevertheless, he is a scary judge of talent when it comes to loyalty. For the people who don't know, the Maddawgs were originally built on a solid foundation of loyalty and committment.

For MADCAP, It's not always about winning. It's about counting on someone in the time of need. If you ever went out on the town as a Nightdawg, would would understand. You might have a better understanding about loyalty after knowing he led soldiers through Abu Ghraib and Fallujah or had any clue what he did for a living. He knows about a lot about living. He lives for one person, his daughter.

Finally, It's not "fight the war," it's fight FOR war, fuck the norm. He knows from first hand experience that for American's to be truly safe, freedom cannot be won by peace. In conclusion, Cap will come off as a crazy dude to most people at first glance. However, he is crazy, not stupid. That's fine in this case. His crazy tactics are simply tools and tests that allow him to make accurate judgements on people (well, everyone except Jabooti).

As far as his skills, for a 32-year old, he may have the best endurance in the entire league. He rarely gets tired and can be a terror on the Defensive Line, refusing to quit. As a WR, TE and Cornerback he also excels. In the end, very few rival his intensity.
