If you had to give Coach Fox's speech to the team now, what would it be?

[Khyber53]

Fox: Fellas, you'll notice this week that your paychecks aren't being direct deposited. Your position coaches are going about the room right now and they will hand you your paycheck. I want each of you to look that coach in the eye and let them know you earned that check. Just look directly into their eyes.

And coaches, you look right back into that player's eyes and let them know whether or not you gave them what they needed last week.

You're going to get your pay whether you feel you deserved it or not. I got my paycheck and I don't feel I deserved it. I did not give you what you needed to win.

Now I want you to look at that check and see whose signature is on it. You see who it is? Think on that for a moment.

This team can fall apart, we can give up We can have new coaches, and they can give any or all of you walking papers. And 85 percent of you would find work with another team. And you'd get more paychecks with someone else's signature on it.

And some of you would end up on a championship team and get your Super Bowl ring.

I and the other coaches would not be out of a job for long, either. We would go on and some of us would get rings as well. It is what it is and we are young men, there are years left on our playing and coaching lives.

But Mr. Richardson (flash a picture of him on the screen behind the coach, a photo of him in the owners box at the Dallas game, covered in a blanket and looking very bad), doesn't have that opportunity. He may be here next year, and Heaven help us, he may be with us for the next.

But the reality says that he is on borrowed time. And that precious commodity, a man's life, is something he has given to each and every one of you. He created this team, he dreamed of bringing a team to the Carolinas and he created an environment to pursue a championship. And this year, which could be the last in his storied life, he gave to you.

He gave each of you the chance to win. In what may be his last chance ever, he said these are the men he wants to fight for him. You are the men he asked to stand for him in his final hours.

Cash those checks this week. And you'll get another one next week and the week after, no matter how you play. And there will be opportunities to you for years to come.

But this is our only, only chance, to stand as men together and carry a great man on our shoulders, carry him to a reward that no amount of money can buy. We can surround him with heroes, the heroes he believes that we are, in his direst times.

He came to Dallas for us, at risk to his health and life. You think on that this week, I know I will be.

I think they should have to look at Peppers check, then look at his stats. That should piss them of enough.

[Matt Foley]

Gentlemen, today we're going to work on execution. Don, pass out the blindfolds.

[Khyber53]

To quote a Buccaneers coach in the late '70s in an aftergame interview:

Reporter: How do you feel about the your team's execution today?

Coach: Um, I'm definitely in favor of it.

[Guest]

To the OP: Pep would shrug and go back to his PSP or whatever.
