Only when Joe Bugel walks alone, as he does so often after Washington Redskins practice, do his players see any sign of his 69 years in his face, in his body. They don't think of his age when he is doing pushups as they head back to the locker room. They don't think about it when he is spewing invective in their faces, downgrading their masculinity, reminding them he has spent 32 years in the NFL. And they don't consider it when he is talking about how much he loves them, when he is preaching, as veteran guard Randy Thomas said, "passion, loyalty and friends."
