What exactly do you want me to own up to???

All I am arguing is that some teams give up... you guys are arguing that that never happens. I admit that this is highly controversial and that it is Wild Speculation...

What I found interesting is that there was an article which quotes players and coaches talking about this very thing. What is most important is the timing of the quotes. It came after a heart breaking loss, and it seems in retrospect that players and coaches reacted emotionally when speaking. When speaking emotionally people tend to be more honest and filter less.

As far as the Redskins winning, I'll eat the crow, however it does not mean that giving up does not exits.

Read what Mahdi wrote. I am very glad the Redskins won. That being said did you watch the game? Did you hear Gruden talking about it, the comments that Shanahan said. What about Steve Young? Did you watch the post game report?

What you implied was that I lied and made the whole thing up- heck I had to show you a link. FU for thinking that. All I did was post what was said. What coaches and players were quoted saying after a loss. And you still justified it.

Whats the point? The point is that teams do give up on winning when it seems impossible to make the playoffs. Organization IR players, play backups, release players, etc.. when winning seems over. Just go look at the Eagles. During these time for such teams it becomes about next season. If you dont think that this NEVER happens in pro sports you are quite irrational.

If you think every team does everything it can do every single year without reservation to win no matter their record or circumstance and that giving up has never occurred in the NFL let me know because that is what you are arguing.

Oh, it's generic "teams" now, not the (ahem) title of this thread.

Great game against the Giants!

I have argued that over a year now. There is a certain percentage of members on this board that for some reason think that NFL players are these super humans who never succumb to laziness no matter the circumstances because of the pay they receive The Redskins were an example that giving up does happen in the NFL. The fact that an NFL Coach and Players talked so openly about it with nothing to gain was evident of that notion. If you read whole conversation basically I am getting blasted for sharing a link with information that goes against what the fans want to believe. Giving up does happen in the NFL even when there is nothing to gain the same way it happens at your job.
