McCarthy smashed watermelons with a sledgehammer

[Praxit]

..hey man, whatever works. The mind will always be a conundrum of emotional affects. Perhaps this demo, gets the point across.

The players should be motivated if McCarthy is willing to destroy food for them.

Greater love hath no man, if you are walking in McCarthy shoes.

Smashing watermelons strikes me as "if its stupid but it works, it isn't stupid".

Only the Cowboys would emphasis something so dumb . They make it easy for fans and other teams to laugh at them. What a load of nonsense. I guess it worked though, seeing how Donovan Wilson was physical all night. Of course it takes absurdity to get into this team’s head.

Have you ever played football? Serious question

Wasn’t there a comedian in the 80s who did that? I saw a Family Guy episode referencing him I think.

UMM its in the OPs link, right in the little box LOL

I really wish I were making this stuff up

Wish I could have seen it.
Saw Gallagher a couple times live. Good shows.

I remember at one Gallagher show he had these seagulls flying over the audience randomly pooping shaving cream on the audience's heads throughout the night.

Who doesn’t love shaving cream pooping seagulls?

Coaches do some crazy stuff....and sometimes it fires the team up. Why would anyone be upset about this?

Now if he's destroying philly cheesteaks for the Eagles game or Pizza for the Giants I would listen up.

LOL love the media. 2 weeks ago, the players hated McCarthy. Now reports they were so motivated by him, they went out got the W because of him.

You don't need to click on it. It's literally right there in the OP.

Let's see. Lockerroom that has not won in a while. The stress must have been so thick you could cut it.

New head coach wants to lighten the mood, which would create a temperament that he is one of the guys and they are all in this together.

He pulls a Gallagher and smashes some watermelons.

What did the Tweet say about this?

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy on smashing watermelons to motivate the team Saturday night: “It’s important to have fun. We were just using the approach, honoring the great comedian Gallagher. The players were into it. We had some fun.”

I'd suggest it loosened up the team and they played without nerves and worrying about mistakes.

The fans here are so judgmental about every aspect and race to throw rocks at this team.

Maybe what needs to happen is Reality should bring in some insecticide to kill the bug that crawled up your butts.

That's awesome!!! Some of you may think it's stupid, buts it's great when the HC hangs with his team like that!!! I love it!

No one should be complaining about this. It was silly but apparently effective. Coaches do stuff like this all the time. Whatever works.
