Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 When I listened to the post game press conferences, there wasn't a HINT of anger at their own failure in the players' voices. They sounded dead and drained. When I fail at a task, I never cease to go over how I couldn't have done it better, and I DO get angry with myself. I use it as motivation. But these guys, they sounded like it just didn't matter. It SOUNDED like they didn't even care that they pi$$ed away a golden opportunity on a national stage AGAIN. If I was them, I'd be embarrassed and angry with myself for being punked. By second-strigners, no less. But hey, they've got their millions and mansions, so what motivation do they need, right? This team is NOT representative of its town in the least.
RkFast Posted January 3, 2005 Posted January 3, 2005 The players are professionals and while there is no doubt they "care", they will NEVER be as passionate as the fans. Ever. Its just a fact of life in pro-sports. And besides, except for a choice few, which players really blow up and show tons of "anger" after bad losses, anyways? Not many.
