Joe Gibbs explains his ‘pep talk’ in Dallas

Yes I did, and I also made an edit to say that I have no problem with it being strictly religious. I read his explanation before I posted. You can quote scripture and give a service in chapel and use it to do alot of things. If this was a room full of Cowboy players and coaches and the focus was motivation and it was the day before a football game, than you are going to have a tough time telling me it had NOTHING to do with said game.

So I guess you don't believe Joe?

“I talked about the Lord,” he continued. “I did not talk anything about pep talks or football. So I just wanted to clarify that because I am getting a few emails and stuff in here. I want all the Redskins fans to know, hey, look, I’m Redskins all the way and all I was doing was a chapel service.”

If he didnt talk about football then what is this?

Gibbs told the team of a situation where he tried to ice a kicker by using a second timeout — drawing a 15-yard penalty that made the eventual game-winning field goal easier.

"A couple players told me, 'If Joe Gibbs can screw it up at the last second, everybody else can screw it up,' " Jones said before Sunday's game.

If thats not talking about football then I dont know what is
Like I said before,Im over it but I still dont like it

It's football, but not a "pep talk".

I thought that was the crux of this disagreement, that he was somehow motivating the troops?

Yes your probably right
While Im sure his intentions were not to be a pep talk to motivate the Cowboys,but if your one of the cowboys and your listening to the great Joe Gibbs speak to you and talk about the things he went thru and everyone makes mistakes,how could you not be motivated by that?
