Are any great athlete's good losers

Are great athletes who want to be the best ever okay with losing even if they play well?? I am not advocating that if a player loses a game, he should go off on others, raise hell and generally be a very poor teammate.

On the other hand when you lose how can you be happy? I totally understand where Cam is coming from. Not only did he throw a pick 6 but he was unable to rally the troops in the fourth quarter to a win. Sure he did some great things but in the end they lost and he took it hard. So did I, and I didn't play in the game or put out so much in the effort.

Honestly I hope that he is pissed with every loss and doesn't get complacent. Whe I played back in the dark ages it didn't matter what the level, if we lost no one talked on the bus or plane back at all. No one. You sat there and thought about what you could have done today to turn things around. No cards, no jokes, no smiles... Misery, just like it should be.

My theory is that if you are a good loser just take out the good and that is what you are.

michael jordan was pretty big asshole to his teammates granted this was a different time and way before twitter put every rumor on the front page

"He can't do anything with the ball. Don't give it to him." - Michael yelling at Paxson who passed the ball to Perdue

"You ever hear of a guy, six-eleven maybe and two hundred sixty pounds, a guy big and fat like that and he can't get but two rebounds, if that many, running all over the damn court and he gets two rebounds? Big guy like that and he gets one rebound. Can't even stick his ass into people and get more than that...Big, fat, fat guy. One rebound in three games. Power forward. Maybe they should call it powerless forward." - Michael ripping Stacey King a new one

"I hope there's a jumpshot in there." - Michael to Stacey King who was walking into the locker room with a box

"They don't need a ticket to watch you sitting on the bench. They can go to your house for that." - Michael to Charles Davis who was sorting through his tickets for his family and friends

"If you [pass the ball to Bill Cartwright], you'll never get the ball from me."

"Give me the fu*king ball." - Michael to Doug Collins who drew up a play for Dave Corzine

I remember watching the 'America's Game' about the '91 Cowboys and how when Michael Irvin was a rookie he'd literally be in tears after every loss and when Jimmy Johnson took over he made sure to point out the players who seemed fine with losing so long as they got their check.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
