Not to defend 94 BUT don't many people on here pine for fCJL because he could motivate less talented players to beat Auburn, etc.?

But he couldn’t motivate them to beat UConn. So I guess it’s a wash.

I never said that teams or people in life dont need  a good "motivator"....all I'm saying is that the main motivation is on the players. 

we will agree to disagree. I think coaches give pregame speeches to get teams fired up emotionally. perhaps you think they don't do any good but I for one think there is nothing more important to get players in the right mindset before a competition.

exactly a great motivator will get players to play  to their maximum abilities. it was pretty clear to see the lack of emotion on the sidelines for much of this year.

Okay now. Time to lock this thread.

That is for sure. When the visiting teams are doing the swag or whatever the heck that thing was after the 3rd quarter and the home team is just sitting around.....  Not a good look.

you can argue whatever you want with the author. My reading comprehension has nothing to do with it. I was just pointing out the fact that this particular author writes that he believes it is easier for an NFL team to move up and be successful.

 

There are two different ways to define parity in the sports world. The first is to define parity as an environment in which any team can expect, at any point in time, beat any other given team. The second is to define parity as an environment in which it is possible for any team to win a championship. I tend to prefer the latter because, after all, that's what sports is about and winning championships is what fans and franchises care about.

So what does that mean I'm looking for? One of two things, either:

1. A league in which everybody is at or around .500. This league doesn't really exist and I'm not looking for a league that has a whole lot of people clumped in the middle with a few teams at the very high end and a few teams at the very low end. This isn't a display of parity as much as it is a display of wide-spread mediocrity. The few teams at the very top are probably too good for the mass of teams clumped around the middle to compete with in a play-off series. Or,
2. A league that offers some combination of providing as many good teams as possible and the ability for poor teams to move up and become good teams with relatively little hardship.

Using that, ranking the parity in America's major sports produces a list that looks something like this:

1. MLB
2. NBA
3. NFL
4. College Basketball
5. College Football

But that’s the thing about motivation, Dr. Afremow says. The most elite performers, whether they are on the court on in an office, don’t really rely on motivation to perform their best. There’s no need to motivate the motivated.

“I might even argue that motivation is more important for the non-athletes in the real world because people aren’t coming to watch us,” he said. “The red light, the camera, the TV’s are not on us.”
