View Full Version : I scream...
...you scream, we all scream for Ice Cream.
Discuss. I'm working on a well thought out post and will post it as soon as I am finished.
Well, I just finished up my write up...
I think it is a solid move that brings some much needed fun and lightheartedness to camp. Everybody love ice cream.

Give Josh McDaniels credit for knowing how to lighten the mood.
Things have been somewhat dreary around Dove Valley lately, what with key player after key player going down with various injuries, and McDaniels, with a little help from VP of Operations Chip Conway, knew exactly what would make everyone smile. And that thing, as any parent knows well, is ice cream.
McDaniels and his staff figured out how to hire an ice cream truck and stock it with enough frozen treats to feed at least 225 people. Near the end of the two-hour practice, the truck slowly made its way into the practice facility and parked between two tents just off the practice fields.
The first-team offense was lined up against the first-team defense, and Kyle Orton was barking out signals when McDaniels gave the truck the signal.
The bells came on, playing that very familiar sound of summer, and the truck drove on the field. As players looked around to see what was happening, McDaniels blew his whistle and yelled, “Ice Cream!”
Players rushed to the truck, none faster than defensive end Ryan McBean and offensive tackle D’Anthony Batiste, who actually skipped.
“I didn’t have a clue what was going on,” rookie quarterback Tim Tebow said. “I figured they were putting back on the music and someone actually put that on their playlist, and and I was like, ‘What?’ But then, you know, found out it was the ice cream truck. So it was a cool surprise.”
When the players got their tasty treats, the security guards were instructed to open the ropes and let all the children who were watching practice run onto the field to get free treats as well.

That's really awesome. That's a very cool thing of McD to do to lighten up the mood. I lolled when it said Batiste skipped to the truck! :lol:

Hopefully they limited the fatties to one treat only.

Lindsay Jones said it was the fastest she'd ever seen some of the fatties run.

THE SOUND OF SUMMER
With the evening sun camped out just over the trees, a nostalgic jingle rolled into Dove Valley on four wheels. Toward the end of 11-on-11 drills, turf manager Troy Smith drove an ice cream truck onto the practice field.
In the street you might see a kid drop his or her bike and sprint to the sound of bells signifying the ice cream man. The music had a similar effect on the football field.
Ryan McBean made a beeline for the truck as soon as he recognized the sound. Toney Baker wasn’t far behind, waving his helmet in the air and pumping his fist. D’Anthony Batiste leisurely skipped his way to truck.
Not one to deprive the fans, Don “Wink” Martindale took an armful of treats and flung them into the crowd. Soon after, McBean led a train of smiling youngsters to get their fill. The rest of the kids in the crowd scattered onto the field for their share.
Robert Ayers elected to stay back and stretch, but Richard Quinn made sure his teammate got a frozen treat, too. What could be better than enjoying dessert on a stick with friends and teammates under a Colorado sunset?
“This is a very physical camp,” Brian Dawkins said. “To do things like this adds a little something to it… a little boost.”
Not everybody recognized the truck’s song. Tim Tebow thought it was piped in as simulated crowd noise, and Champ Bailey mistook the sound for someone’s cellphone. Once he saw the truck, Bailey opted for a super flavor.
“I went for the Spiderman (flavor),” he said. “I just couldn’t do the chocolate… so I got something that was sweet.”

Maybe the skins should pull up an ice cream truck when Haynesworth does his conditioning test tomorrow!

:lol: ^ I was thinking something like that also. Hopefully no one sprained thier ankle running to the truck or anything.
But thats a cool thing to do. I really do like McDaniels and what hes about. Some fans hate him but I've liked him since day 1 even after everything. I just hope hes here for a while and hope we can make the playoffs this year. I wish I was there so I coulda got an icecream :lol:
But Training camps seem fun under McDaniels as well as physical. Shanny did some cool things as well at training camp. Fun times though. :elefant: Hope no one gets hurt for another day.

When I was an Army unit commander we used to top off training exercises with steaks and ice cream. Instead of tired soldiers dragging there asses it added to the mental and physical adrenalin. Good job coach!

Nah, with the whole injury bug at the moment, it's more likely that one of our players would've been run over :lol:
Or maybe we're going to use the truck to replace Doom? Sure, it's not got a great initial burst, but the only move it needs is the bullrush.
