In typical fashion when a sports team is down, the vultures show up with their fake outrage and tired propaganda. Riggo’s Rag published this hit piece where they accused some players on the team of having a losing mentality, because allegedly some of the players asked Ron to take back some power given to Bienemy this offseason. The allegations are basically accusing players of not wanting to work hard and rejecting Bienemy because he’s too tough on them. While it’s easy to jump on players and accuse them of being soft, lazy, and entitled, that’s also a pretty lazy and ignorant analysis of the situation.
The truth is Riggo’s Rag doesn’t know what’s going on at practice, and yes you can legitimately push a team too hard, to the point where it negatively impacts performance. The Dallas Cowboys and their Super Bowl winning coach have had several light practices these past couple weeks and they looked pretty good this past week. Meanwhile the Patriots and Bill Belichick have had an awful season in spite of his reputation for tough practices and no-nonsense organization. The media used to call it the Patriot’s Way and constantly glorify the results of having no fun, but as it turns out the secret to their success appears to be more closely correlated with Tom Brady than the no fun practices.
Anyway we would suggest the guys at Riggo’s Rag worry about their own work ethic as they’re significantly trailing their rivals at hogshaven.com in site traffic. Maybe they just need to get rid of their losing mentality and work harder.
