Carney said after the arraignment that Copney is a Christian and reads the Bible every morning and every night before going to bed, and added that his time in jail had given him material for his songwriting. Copney graduated from a performing arts high school in New York City, and at 15, he wrote "Feelin' It," a song performed by the R&B/pop group New Edition...
...intangibles he brings to the clubhouse: his ability to defuse conflicts, to maintain optimism, and to instill motivation in his team. But, ultimately, these too belong to the players.

"There is a lack of ethics in all this," he said. "The Christmas trees don't project the image of a humble party of the poor." The continual Christmas celebration is also symptomatic of a country "full of poets...
