I’m getting older, I fully admit it and embrace it. The music isn’t getting too loud yet, but I don’t understand popular music these days. I can’t tell you what year I bought all of my clothes, but I definitely value comfort over style when I go out now. I stay active on social media,Continue reading “Work Hard Without the Camera”

How many times have you heard that phrase in the last couple of years? I’m guessing too many to count. It seems like everywhere you go today places having ‘now hiring’ signs in the windows and are asking you to be patient because they are short-staffed. It’s not uncommon to wait to be seated atContinue reading “Nobody Wants to Work Anymore”

That phrase it used every time we see someone suddenly act hurt or complain that something is wrong when things aren’t going their way in sports. It could be a pitcherContinue reading “Loser Limp”

20 for 21. It doesn’t matter what you’re doing, especially in the world of sports, but when you’re successful at something 20 out of 21 times, you’re pretty special.

Too many times in this world we use the phrase, ‘guilt by association.’ I know I am guilty of it. I used that messaging quite a bit when I was teaching and trying to mentor middle school students that were making important decisions and trying to figure out who they wanted to be associated with.Continue reading “Pride By Association”

Winning in college football is not easy, but some coaches have a knack for making it seem that way. Talent and tradition go a long way in making a coach look good and the ability to land top recruits a little bit easier, but better talent and deeper tradition leads to raised expectations. Not manyContinue reading “The Smartest Man in College Football”

Brian Kelly shocked Notre Dame fans and college football when he abruptly bolted his College Playoff hopeful squad for the bayous of Louisiana earlier this week. While the news may have come out of nowhere, as an outside observer I suggested this as a possibility weeks ago when LSU announced it would not retain EdContinue reading “End of an Era-rrogance?”
