Football is a game of intimidation, a sport full of hard-hitting crazy men out for each others' blood in the pursuit of an oblong ball and the points that can be scored with it. And intimidation takes many forms, from the physical to the mental, as players try to wear their opponents down by being the tougher man.
Anger is also part of the game, whether it's anger at oneself for making a mistake, at a teammate for the very same reason, at an official for a poor call or at a coach for bad strategy. Being convincingly intimidating and openly angry is a sign of strength on the gridiron, and it's clearly not something that can be taught.
Ask New England Patriots defensive lineman Vince Wilfork, who said on The Dan Patrick Show that his quarterback, Tom Brady, just doesn't have what it takes to intimidate his teammates when their on-field play angers him.
Brady leads the list of five players who, despite their best efforts, just don't seem to have that anger thing down.
