Lou Holtz fails to motivate Bulls

Only four games into the season, Bulls coach Vinny Del Negro is already resorting to drastic measures to motivate his team. The rookie coach summoned long-time college football coach and current ESPN analyst Lou Holtz to address the Bulls prior to the Wednesday night's matchup against the Cavaliers. The result: A 107-93 loss marred by chaotic, uninspired play and a LeBron James layup drill. James loafed his way to 41 points, sinking 15 free-throws and driving to the basket at will. Perhaps the Bulls players were unable to understand the mush-mouth Holtz, who sounds like an elderly man talking politely while enjoying a mouth full of Motts applesauce. Del Negro's motivational tactics are admirable, but clearly are not likely to effective with most NBA players. Coming soon on the Del Negro pregame locker room speaker series: former MLB slugger Jose Canseco, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, NFL coaching legend Mike Ditka, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, and PGA icon John Daly.
