Bucs S Antoine Winfield Jr. on taunting

If ever one could see into the mind of a profe sional athlete, undoubtedly that brain would be littered with slights -- perceived or otherwise -- keeping fresh the motivation to pursue greatne s.Ask any succe sful athlete, and they'll tell you they remember lo ses Max Muncy Jersey more vividly than victories. It's a dichotomy of the mind that fuels the pursuit of glory. The fear of failure can be a more significant motivator than the sweet nectar of victory.Every slight is magnified in the mind of a pro athlete. Maury Wills Jersey The phrase bulletin board material isn't clich by accident. provided us with the latest reminder that slights don't go unnoticed.

"When we played them earlier, Hill went off on us. He back-flipped in front of my face and gave me the peace Cody Bellinger Jersey sign. So it was only right Sandy Koufax Jersey that I gave him the peace sign right back to him at this moment. It felt amazing to be able to do that. I'm not even gonna lie."He who laughs last laughs best, they say.Winfield got the last laugh this season on the biggest stage. And it was well worth it for the Bucs.
