Object Lesson: An Empty Trophy Case

[Mr. Scot]

Apparently placed by David Tepper in a spot where players and coaches can see it and be reminded...

That stings a little 

[Pimpdaddy]

gettin in everyones head...not a bad move if it gets filled.

[Dex]

love it. harder daddy.

[rayzor]

I like it. 

I mean if that's not the #1 goal and what you're focusing on, then why bother?

[Fox007]

Hell yea. 

And Scott it doesn't sting really it's just the truth. It's all been out and about for awhile now. We had a poo owner who knew jack poo about how to win in this league who hired yes men and was a cheap POS. Hard to fill trophy cases like that.

At least now you can tell the owner actually fuging wants to win and isn't shy about saying it. Here is the goal...normal business display type of thing really. Although not an actual case usually...more abstract and on slides and poo.

"Hey Wally, remember that trophy case thing that I asked you for last year? I need it in an hour."

virginia tech did this and when it say empty for fifteen years they just quietly replaced it with like a hoodie or something

Oh, I think it stings a little, and I think it's meant to.

I'd actually consider it a pretty good motivational tactic.

A Ceramic Hokie that throws off the Feng shui of the room to be honest.

[Waldo]

Hell of a lot better than an ATM.

Get it done

[Raleigh PF]

The very picture of mediocrity. Two NFC Championships in 25 years.

[BrianS]

I approve.  Remind everyone, every day of what the goal is.

Listen, we've been close in the past.  We've made it to the big dance twice in our 25 year history and lost both.  Imagine being the Buffalo Bills and losing FOUR STRAIGHT TIMES in that game.  It ruined that franchise for decades.

What we lack is consistency.  To me that says we are in the playoffs most years and rarely have non-winning seasons.  That's acceptable since once you are in the playoffs anything can happen.

[Jangler]

15-1 means nothing. even if the NFL wants Peyton Manning to win another Superbowl. Cuz we can't have slow poke Eli with more Superbowl wins than bigger head brother., even with beating The Patriots.  Nope. The Panthers are still paper panthers. 

 

this is multiverse sh!t right here.

[Mr. Scot]

I mean, if you walked in every day saying something like "hey guys, remember that championship trophy you don't have?!" you'd probably annoy people and they'd think you were a douche.

However, by putting this trophy case there, Tepper can effectively say that without having actually say it.

You get the motivational factor without the douchebag factor.
