I applaud their play last night but these guys have to understand that this is what is expected at the start of the season and each and every game. It's not easy and no one thinks it is but to be successful in any endeavor in life there is no easy. It's not buying the lotto ticket it's hard work with tremendous devotion attention to detail and lots of stress. It requires a mindset that not everyone has.
I have 3 sons all doing well in their careers 32, 31, 29. Once in awhile one will tell me how stressed they are with work etc. and as a dad I get that and I listen. Then I promptly tell them to "shift" their mindset because real stress is when business is slow, when money is not coming in and contrast that to being super busy. SHIFT the mindset.
These players probably really like Manny and company but they will now live a hard truth that their play will be a part of him losing his job. Not fully their fault of course not but a part for sure.
It really is a dog eat dog world sometimes.
