I don't think you can continue to berate players in the press these days.  I've seen it in other sports, too.  It's like JB is a Parcels or Bobby Knight kind of guy, and kids just don't respond to it the same way anymore.  I feel like JB breaks kids down too much, and doesn't spend enough time building them up.  That's why we play this way - so tentative on offense, so scared to shoot, so scared to make a mistake.

I've seen it with a generation change of managers in soccer in Europe. We saw it several years ago in the NFL.

JB is a legend, but he has become a dinosaur and he is clearly on the decline.  These kids have tuned him out.  He has lost the locker room, and this team is losing the fans.  They are literally getting boo'ed in the Dome.  This is freaking terrible.

This is gonna do WONDERS for their walk-up attendance the rest of this season.  It feels like it's already over, and it's not even Christmas.  For FLOCKS SAKE.
