I find it highly amusing that people are claiming a coach should treat a team with respect that's won three games out of?
..treat em with respect!..because that is exactly what every detractor has doen since Haley got here..treated the players and coaches like grown men...with respect.

Maybe other people are doing this, but I personally don't give two shits about their feelings. What I'm trying to do is argue the reality of the situation. Whether you like it or not, the reality of the NFL is that most of these guys do not respond to this kind of approach because they are already grown men who are multi millionaires. Yeah, I think that this approach might work for guys who are doing everything to stick in the NFL, as they've got a tenuous grip on their jobs, but for players who can find jobs elsewhere, or who are quite talented, I don't think it applies.
I can tell you this. There was no harder screw to walk a turn of the NFL sidelines than Bill Belichick, but he'd never talk to Brady like this. Hell, Brady was bitching at Belichick on the sidelines during one of the games this year.
