The sheepdog reference came from Siliana Gaspard’s speech at the Hall of Fame ceremony. She told a story of how Gaspard used to inspire his son to be like a sheepdog.

She said, “Shad used to tell our son that there are two types of men in the world, the wolves and the sheepdogs. And he would tell him to always be a sheepdog.”
