Words, even those full of hot air, set standards, set a measurement for accountability and measurement of progress.
You speak of the 'line in the sand' game that turned around the Dawks... started with strong words, words that challenged a group, words that challenged a group to create a new culture and not-negotiable standards. Never underestimate the power of words, Pauly.
I'm a big fan of the power of words, but saying "it's wins or nothing" is not an example of how to use words well, and it's not going to get the desired result. It's lazy, and amateurish to boot.
