John Harbaugh Giving Out "Effort Stickers" to Baltimore Ravens Players

[BusSport]

From ESPN, "John Harbaugh giving out 'effort stickers' to reward Ravens":

If you "Play Like A Raven" these days, you'll get the NFL version of a gold star. Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh is rewarding his players by placing "effort stickers" above their lockers. He started handing out the yellow, coin-sized decals this week after the Ravens fell to 2-7, which is tied for the second-worst record in the league.

"It kind of feels like we're back in elementary school a little bit," defensive end Chris Canty said. "Certainly, it's not one of those things to be overlooked, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Effort to the football is very important."

Both offensive and defensive players get the stickers, and quarterback Joe Flacco currently has the most with 32.

Must be a TGann idea.

When they draw penalties do they have to go home with a note safety pinned to their shirt?

If the players think it's dumb then I would switch to just getting a slap upside your head if you did something stupid.

My father will tell you it did wonders for my attitude.

What a motivator. Not only does he not know the rules, now he wants to give out atta-boys for doing your job. One things for certain, no one will ever mistake him as a genius. Go Rat Birds

Somehow I can't see these guys getting stickers as motivating them to do any better.

Did they say Joe has 32 stickers? That's an elite level of stickers if I do say so myself.

Rumors in Baltimore are if the Ravens win another game, Harbaugh will take the players with the best effort to Disney Land.
