There was a thread on this last year with video of the gambling right in front of a police officer.

you know, a heck of a nice guy - when not working. (shot the breeze for about an hour at a 7-on-7 event last year.)
Per an NFL U I know he's quite different when he's working.

Oh, I'm sure he is - he seems very affable and pleasant when I catch him on Monday nights, and it does seem like he'd be a great guy to hang out with.  But I also remember seeing "Chucky-face" on the TV while he was coaching, when he looked like a small child throwing a temper tantrum.

Ernie Givens is just about as colorful when he is working the sidelines. He walked by me one evening in a Semi Pro game in Orlando "Got a problem with how I talk?" "Coach, I could care less how you talk to your players, just don't talk to me that way." a few minutes later "What do you think about my Quarterback?" "Coach, I am 52 years old, I can out throw your Quarterback." a minute later "Got any eligibility left?" " Coach, I said I can out throw him, I can't out run him."
