If there’s a more animated football coach in the East Valley than Hamilton defensive coordinator Manny Palomarez, the coaching ranks must be rife with blood-pressure conscious pill poppers.Alternately pounding the glass when an official made a bad call (as if they could hear him) and cheering his boys when they did something well, Palomarez was better theater than Thursday’s sloppy early-season game between Hamilton and Brophy, if you happened to have a nearby seat in the press box where he was caged.Just when I started to worry about Manny’s long-term health, the game ended and the same cheerful, teddy bear of man emerged with that smile and softspoken voice that I had seen and heard so many times before.Yin and Yang. Fourteen more weeks, Manny. Hang in there. Football is an emotional game.

Manny loves them hot dogs.
Manny,
Thanks for the sideline passes! By the way, nice language at halftime? Recruiting starts early at my house. Just ask my dad?
