Lessons in winning

[Rockport]

More lies. Cleveland was tanking for years! It's okay to lose a game when the system rewards it by giving you a better draft position the following year... this IS how you play the game.

If Cleveland was tanking for years the league would have penalized them.

There are Lebron James and Michael Jordan's type players every NBA draft. You just have to have the correct culture, winning attitude, and quality coaching to unlock that awesomeness. Thank goodness Phil Jackson could unlock Jordan's talent into becoming a pretty good player. Same goes for the NFL.

No, there's not.

Cleveland succeeded in getting to the playoffs by being winning winners. They beat the Pittsburgh Steelers today because of a constant winning environment. No teams can tank and transform into winners. It doesn't happen because of what it does in the locker room (like a losing character infection). Most great teams start by being champions and then just continuing being awesome. Winning begets winning. Losing begets losing. Here endeth the lesson to anyone saying that losing can equal wins in the future.

this is satire, right?

I guess you need sarcasm font for some people. Maybe sarcasm font plus flashing neon colors.

You'd think so but no.

Go bang on some trash cans.

So they tanked and then fired the HC for tanking? lol Only lie is your own, fact is Cleveland lost because they were not very good. Cleveland drafted how many QB who failed? Losing does not equal tanking, losing is a product of poor play and poor coaching.

Exactly. No team can tank on purpose and not get caught!

Tell yourself whatever you need to continue your fantasy of no tanking. It's funny the lengths you'll go to to keep the fantasy going.

No losing is a product of mainly poor attitude and poor culture.

having enough good players & coaching that everyone believes gives them a chance to step on the field and being competitive with good teams is what truly begets winning.

the wins toward the end didn't propel them over the giants. a few individual players may have gained confidence but not the teams belief that they can compete until they have more talent.

Jimmy Johnson did it very well. MIA just got done doing it, and if the can find a QB, could win a title.

 

[Blitzen]

No, there's not.

Not what?

PROVE it! Or it's false. Just like OJ didn't do it. Cause he was found innocent!

No offense, but what does this current Cowboys team and its fans know about winning? We haven’t “won” anything significant in over 20 years. Leave the winner talk to the actual winners.

Thank you, sir. May i have another.

The game last night reminded me exactly of our game earlier this season with them.

It wasn't "constant" before new head coach Stefanski took over! Perfect example, coaching is everything even with a medicore quarterback.

No problem.

Jimmy sat better players to get the draft picks. And traded away talent that would've made them better. Common knowledge and he's publicly admitted it.

MIA traded away major talent to get worse so they could get better. Already proven.

You don't believe the Browns parlayed years of winning culture into their recent success?

True, Stefanski unlocked Baker and Myle's and the rest of the team's lackluster talent pool and turned then into decent players!
