Dear Team,

Please show up. Show up to practice ready to learn and prepare. Show up to film meetings and strategy sessions ready to adjust and grow. Show up to the stadium where you may be playing next. Show up for yourselves. Show up for your families. Show up for your team mates. Show up for your fans.

We can take losing. We can take heartbreaks. We can take disappointments.

We can not take quitters.

We can not take losers.

We can not take idiots.

We cannot take unmitigated, unjustified arrogance.

We can not take the abject horror of watching what you currently advertise as effort.

If you aren't ready, if you can't handle the pressure, if you aren't motivated by any means to do better than what you are doing now, withdraw. Refuse the paycheck. It is insulting to people who are living in squalor in our own city to watch you get paid for this.

We are Saints fans. We aren't fans of whatever you think you call yourselves today.

Show up.
