I'm glad we have this guy at the helm rather than Cameron. Now i know what a leader is like...
Sparano is stocky, a man's man. A guy you'd think doesn't make a habit of shedding tears often. But that would be assuming too much.
Tears fall from his face all the time, and Sparano can't help it. His eyes are extremely sensitive to light because of an accident he had with a deep fryer at a restaurant he worked at as a teenager.
Splashing hot grease burned his eyes, leaving him without vision for nearly a month. And 31 years later, the accident's effects are still present.
His eyes water regularly, and when they start running, so does his nose.
"When it starts, I become a mess," the 46-year-old confesses.
It's a good thing Sparano's sight hasn't distorted his vision for the Dolphins. Nor has it stopped this career offensive line coach's army of supporters from believing his detail-oriented ways, straight-talking style and comfort with confrontation will enable South Florida's beloved franchise to once again regain its bite following last year's disastrous 1-15 season.
