I have to admit, I wondered what motivational tools he would use since anything costing money would be out the window. Looks like he found a way - How much harder you think these guys are gonna play to be able to put their name and their car where EVERYONE on the team (and front office) sees that they kicked ass? Players are going to do their best to put the hurt on the other team just so they can park in this spot.

Gibbs is f***ing brilliant.
Great post!

I knew something was coming, but I couldn't figure out what. These players would not have been motivated by a piece of poo machine like they were in the past, this is the perfect motivational tool. I doubt this is all we will see as well. He's got plenty up his sleeves I am sure.
Just like those guiness brothers said: BRILLIANT!
