Nice Gesture by Gibbs

I see this as more than a "nice story". Remember reading the stories about how Gibbs used to motivate his players by giving them walkmen for solid play or good hits? Apparently, the players were motivated in a big way by these $15 walkmen. The critics were saying, however, that Gibbs wouldn't be able to use such tactics in the post-salary cap era. 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.
