Quote from Kansas City GM Scott Pioli. I think this applies to all sports:
“Here is what happens in this game: As we all know, there are good times and bad times,” Pioli said. “In bad times, you have to be able to have people that you can depend on, rely upon, that instead of jumping off the ship, they are going to try to find a way to rally together. The more successful teams that I have been a part of in high school, college or professional football, the most successful teams at their core had a lot of people with strong football character and strong work ethics.”
