GAINESVILLE, Fla. -- Florida quarterback Luke Del Rio has been exposed to a variety of leadership styles.Between his fathers NFL coaching career -- six stops in 20 years -- and his own collegiate path that includes three schools and four head coaches, Del Rio has seen a little bit of everything. Some good, some bad and enough to know what he wants, maybe even what he needs, to help him succeed.I dont want somebody to pat me on the back, said Del Rio, whose father, Jack, coaches the Oakland Raiders .Good thing, too, since hes playing for Florida coach Jim McElwain, who is often more critical than complimentary of his quarterbacks.He gets after me pretty good, Del Rio said. You can ask guys during practice; hell get after me. I expect it, though. I came here to play for him. I knew what kind of coach he was and is. I never really want to play for a coach thats like `Ah, its OK, get the next one, you know?You understand that as a player, but you want to be held to the standard the coaches set.The 23rd-ranked Gators (2-0, 1-0 Southeastern Conference), who host North Texas (1-1) on Saturday, fell well short of McElwains expectations last season. The offense ranked 112th in the country, and QB play was a big reason for the struggles.Will Grier and Treon Harris threw for nearly 2,900 yards, with 19 touchdowns and nine interceptions in 2015. Grier showed glimpses of talent, but once he was suspended for violating the NCAAs policy on performance-enhancing drugs and Harris took over down the stretch, Floridas offensive efficiency dipped dramatically.Even when Grier and Harris played well, McElwain sounded less than impressed.Hes taken the same approach with Del Rio, who has completed 63 percent of his passes for 576 yards, with six touchdowns and an interception.I try to coach them all hard because I want them to, you know, I want them to be successful, McElwain said. And especially at that position, but really all of them, you know. I dont think Ive done anything different from what Ive ever done.So maybe Del Rio ought to get used to it. After all, if hes going to be criticized after throwing for 320 yards and four touchdowns in the teams SEC opener against Kentucky, then its probably going to happen weekly.Del Rio finished with Floridas most passing yards in an SEC game since Chris Leak threw for 322 against Arkansas in 2004.But it was the throws Del Rio missed that stood out to McElwain. He pointed to two in particular: Del Rio overthrew Antonio Callaway on a skinny post in the second quarter during a drive that ended with a missed field goal; and Del Rio was well short and wide of Freddie Swain on a corner route late in the third quarter. Del Rio bounced back from the second one, tossing his final TD pass three plays later.Two days after the 45-7 victory against the Wildcats, McElwain was still bothered by the pass to Swain and said the one to Callaway was just ridiculous that he missed that throw.That bothers me, McElwain said. But hell see that and hopefully learn from it. ... He just did what he was supposed to do. He did his job. And yet, if he does his job better, which he can, hell hit those throws. And really, it irritates me.Del Rio welcomes the critiques, win or lose, big game or lackluster performance.Theyre going to tell you the way it is, Del Rio said. They expect you to make every play. Like I said, I expect to make play. I definitely left some plays out there. I agree with him. Mechanically, especially, I think I can be more sound. So I appreciate it.---AP college football website: www.collegefootball.ap.org Jon Casey Jersey . - Levi Browns tenure at left tackle for the Pittsburgh Steelers is over before it even began.

The world of professional wrestling got its start in the 1800s, but the genesis of what we see today in the world of sports entertainment has its origins in the 1920s, when Ed Strangler Lewis, Toots Mondt and Billy Sandow got together to form the Gold Dust Trio.According to the book WWE Legends, this triumvirate developed what Mondt called the Slam Bang Western Wrestling style, moving beyond exhibitions in the ring that were presented like any other kind of fight and incorporating storylines into pro wrestling in a way that hadnt been done before.In essence, the Gold Dust Trio was the industrys first entity to become true masters of the psychological techniques of getting over with the crowd. They used those methods to generate the desired reactions from the audience and eventually utilized them to dominate the industry for nearly a decade.This opening edition of the Getting Over series aims to detail the psychological rules that the world of pro wrestling has developed in the nearly 100 years since the inception of the Gold Dust Trio; elements that remain the same, or similar, to how they were at the inception of the style, and things that have changed dramatically in the modern era.Before getting into the specifics of these rules, however, it helps to note the one rule that trumps all others.Rule No. 1: Drawing a paying audience is always the primary goal for any promotionThis is the prime directive of pro wrestling. Everything thats ever done in the wrestling business and everyone whos involved, from promoters to announcers to main eventers to the most inexperienced enhancement talent, is there to get an audience to spend money. That applies to anything that brings in a steady cashflow, including house shows, pay-per-views, network subscriptions and merchandise.This rule is so ingrained into the fabric of pro wrestling that WWE Hall of Famer Gorilla Monsoon, one of the most venerated voices in history and for whom the most prominent backstage position was named, once said that if anyone was in this business for any reason other than to make money, he was a fool.Its as straightforward a rule as youll see on this list, and it trumps every other entry that will follow to such a degree that a subset is necessary.Rule No. 1A: Every rule can be broken if it leads to drawing a paying audience.One of the strengths of Rule No. 1 is that it allows all of the other rules that will follow to be modified whenever circumstances dictate. Its easy to say that should be a straightforward rule, but as well see in future columns and looking back on the past, applying the rules too rigidly can be counter-productive.For example, take?The New Day, a faction that went from being a struggling, overproduced heel tag team to the most popular faction in the WWE by Wrestlemania 32.?Less than a year ago, we had to damn near beg for a single item on shop. This Wrestlemania week, The New Day was #1 in Merch sales.- ShinigamE (@WWEBigE) April 18, 2016They did it by breaking past many of the stereotypical roles that preceded them in wrestling. They also broke the mold of how factions work.Before The New Day, a faction needed to have a leader. The early incarnations of The Four Horsemen had Ric Flair, Arn Anderson, Ole Anderson, Tully Blanchard, Barry Windham and J.J. Dillon, who were six of the most accomplished workers of their generation. Yet, Blanchard himself said, the credibility that Flair being part of an organization, instead of always being the world champion and staying off by himself, elevated us and made us the elite gang of professional wrestling. Had the other members of The Four Horsemen not been associated with Flair, they would have been a stronng faction in the NWA, but almost certainly wouldnt have reached the legendary status they now hold today.ddddddddddddThe same rule applied to D-Generation X. Road Dogg and Billy Gunn had one of the most memorable rings intros of all time, and Chyna was the Ninth Wonder of the World, but there is zero doubt that as?Triple H?and Shawn Michaels went, so went DX. Thats why Triple H and Michaels were able to very successfully reform the group a few years later. They were so integral to DX that they didnt?even need the others to get the faction over.Having a single leader simply isnt The New Days M.O. As the aforementioned article in The Undefeated noted,?Kofi Kingston,?Big E?and?Xavier Woods?are real-life best friends who view the group in?an?egalitarian way. They even adopted the classic Freebird rule that says if one of them wins a title, be it a tag-team title or individual title, that any of them are able to defend that title in a match. The group would not be the same without any one of them, but assigning an individual member of the group to the role of team leader just goes against what The New Day is all about. The crowd can sense the friendship between the three, and its part of why The New Days Power of Positivity message gets over and allows this team to break the faction leader rule.The rule-breaking exception even works when it comes to putting an undersized wrestler over as the main-event draw, and its not just a modern invention, as you might otherwise believe.One of the first instances of this occurred with an early 20th century superstar who might have been one of the greatest babyfaces of all time. Depending on which source you believe, Jim Londos was between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-8 and weighed roughly 200 pounds. This was undersized for his era, but it didnt keep Londos from being booked to win programs against powerhouses such as Bronko Nagurski. Yes, that Bronko Nagurski, the former Chicago Bears great who loomed head and shoulders above most NFL players?and thus was one of the true giants of professional football. Having Londos beat Nagurski with an airplane spin might have strained credulity, but this duo pulled off that finish during a 1938 world title switch.Londos got that kind of push for one simple reason: He was able to sell tickets at an awe-inspiring pace. To get an idea of just how incredible a draw Londos was, consider this: Pro wrestling historian Matt Farmer, who is noted for his deep-dive research into wrestling attendance figures, has determined that in 1931, Londos drew an audience of 10,000 or more on 31 occasions, a single-year rate that far exceeded anything anyone had done before this. This was one of many incredible gate figures Londos had during his career, most of which occurred during the heights of The Great Depression.This type of thing has happened at various points in the world of wrestling, and the clearest modern examples, albeit to a different extent, involve?Daniel Bryan?and C.M. Punk. Theyre undersized?wrestlers who overcame initial organizational resistance to putting them over and eventually become true main-event stars and big-money assets.These examples, from the earliest days of professional wrestling through the modern era, show that if a wrestler can draw a paying audience, eventually any and all of the rules of the business can be bent or fully ignored in the effort to give that audience what it wants. As we flesh out this list of rules in the future, youll see just how much precedent and conventional thinking each man overcame to reach that point. ' ' '
