The next guy who blames T.O

[5Countem5]

No, I feel it causes them to get pissed off. Possibly at him, and it reduces positive energy and thus chemistry.

I know how it affected some of my college teammates when 4 guys got kicked off the team. One of them was an All American. You get sick of answering.

Did the questions cause you to perform badly?

I think he is talking about Werder's "rat", correct?

No, lol I'm sorry Ratliff aka Rat.

It is really good, insightful. Again it's not even owens specific.

The old "you never played at the level I did so you are wrong" statement, huh?

Maybe you were just easily "distracted".

Yeah, I was. By cheerleaders especially.

It was actually the old "it's sad it's above your head."

Because the media made T.O. write "Little T.O. Learns to Share" children's books.

Holy crap. This one is real??

Did the questions cause you to perform badly?

I was on crutches, but the girl I was dating said I was the best kisser ever. So I'd say I performed pretty well.

I know that teammates who were very good friends and did play were sick to death of the questions.

You didn't know he wrote a Children's book?

DID IT AFFECT THEIR PLAY?

Pretty simple question...

No I didn't. Please inform him that "How to win friends and influence people" is already taken.

I give you Sean Avery again. As a NY Ranger there were many of them that said he was a distraction and yes he effected their performance.
He's gone, same coach, about 95% the same players, they are in first place.

Not a perfect example but an example. Is he still with the Stars?

 

[Dave_in-NC]

No I didn't. Please inform him that "How to win friends and influence people" is already taken.

I dont care if you are asked questions you have a job to do so do it

 

[bbgun]

There he goes, just being "passionate" again. God love him.

In his defense Gurode needs his butt whipped.

Very insightful.

I can't answer for them

Pretty simple answer to a question that didn't even need to be asked.

Yet another person who thinks it is easy.

 

[wahaja]

I never said it was easy but you STILL have a job to do!

Yet another person who thinks it is easy.

So if these players you played with had other "distractions" in their lives, like say- grades, do you think those distractions affected their play?

 

[bbgun]

Here's a crazy thought: how about talking to the press but not saying anything stupid, divisive, or controversial? I don't remember Staubach or Dorsett stonewalling the media, nor the Triplets. Just behave and everything will be fine.

It is okay to say you just don't get it. Everyone already knows.
