I'm starting to get sick of Sean Payton's little mind games and theatrics.

Putting mouse traps all over the facitlity all week??? Really? That's the way you inspire your team to go kick some a**?

How much money do you want to bet you won't see any damn mousetraps in the Patriots locker room when they play the Jets in a couple of weeks?

A mouse trap is what is called negative expectation setting. It's a pyscological thing. You start putting negative thoughts in the players head and they start playing not to lose instead of going out there looking for blood.

I've got some great advice for Payton. If you feel that you must use b.s. pyscological ploys to get your team ready to play why don't you try something that gets them revved up:

Tell Mare that there is a sniper in the upper deck of the Superdome and if he misses another kick this year he is going to be shot.

Put false quotes in the locker room that the starting QB on the opposing team has been sleeping with Will Smith's wife all year.

Tell Jason David that the recievers on the Texans think his Johnson is small.

Tell Mark Simenoux that he has won an all expense trip to Tahiti but he has to travel within the week and he has to stay a minimum of 30 days.

Tell Reggie Bush that if he rushes for 100 yds in a game that Popeye's has a huge national add campain for him where he gets to punch that Jared guy from Subway in the face


Or how about this. Tell your team that they are 4-4 playing at home against an 0-8 team and that they better go out there and kick the sh*t out of them because they are better football players.

Just my opinion.
