Rollicked

England defender Rio Ferdinand on new manager Steve McClaren's frankness:

"Players should definitely be rollicked more often. That's the way I've grown up...Some players might not agree with that and might squirm at being rollicked...But I don't think there's anything better than hearing a manager be honest - either in front of the lads or to your face by yourself - and telling you where you've gone wrong and what you have to do to improve...It can only make you a better player." (BBC)

According to Answers.com "rollicked" is a verb which means: "To leap and skip about playfully: caper, cavort, dance, frisk, frolic, gambol, romp. See work/play." or "To take extravagant pleasure: bask, indulge, luxuriate, revel, roll, wallow. See like/dislike."

So I don't think that Ferdinand has used the word correctly. It's kind of like his miss-timed header against Reading which led to a goal against and 1-1 draw. I wonder which word he meant to use?

Rocked?

Does a player need to be rocked once in a while?
