Despite him presenting himself so poorly in that Philly press conference, I have always liked AI and kind of agreed with him there. He is always banged up, and always showed up in games, so maybe sitting out a practice wasn't such a bad idea. I understand the right way to go about it would be to actually TELL THE COACH, and that the team would benefit from his presence in practice, but I always felt this was somewhat of an ego issue with him and Larry Brown.
