CoT quote is from Vince Lombardi in keeping with the football theme of the morning.
“Winning isnt everything- but wanting to win is”
Winning at all costs loses the life lessons that sports teaches us. I love having all my children in sports . . . not because they will be professional athletes someday, but because sports is a powerful teacher. It teaches us humility. It teaches us how to work as part of team, and fulfilling our roles to the greater good of the team. Most importantly it teaches us how to win AND LOSE with grace. If children do not learn how to be a good winner and a good loser, then they will struggle later in life. Make sure you are teaching your children how to win AND lose . . . because I guarantee they will experience both down the road.

Random Musings.
- Blueprints had an interesting defensive style. “grab townie in a bearhug so he cant run a route”.
- The fact that blueprints took his shirt off and was sweating profusely made it even more uncomfortable than it sounds.
- Candy Jar got his name from stealing a bobbled pass from Co-ax.
- Co-ax is twelve
- Dick move Candy Jar . . . .
- Nair is a hell of a quarterback.
- His team was not ready for that kind of velocity.
- Ok real talk . . . how the HELL is Encryption Key not lighting up Qbs in the NFL on Sundays?!?!?! This cat is strong like a bull . . . and is FAST. Mel Kiper . . . you really missed the boat on this guy.
- Catfish Hunter made an appearance. Thats almost as rare as Jackie Chiles.
- THANK YOU to Townie who took my Site Q duties so I could Q this football game.
- DJ Sump Pump asks a lot of questions . . . a lot of questions.
- Note to all . . . if you say you are running a particular route, then FINISH THE ROUTE.
- Just sayin . . . finish the route.
- Indeed took one of the best performers from the combine (tent Sale) and largely locked him up. Great athletic effort!!
- Rooney needs stick-um on his gloves.
- I didnt see a lot of the other game, but I turned around and they were doing run plays. They did a lot of “modify if necessary”. But was it necessary? Was it really?
- Two days in a row for my man Cannoli!!! (cannoli . . . I think every workout for the next three months is football, so plan ahead. )
- Tang bumped his knee early, which really helped the other team. Because he is FAST and has very sure hands.
- Nair looked like barry sanders dancing around in the pocket avoiding my pass rush. Dont judge that silver fox by his beard color . . . he is very very nimble.
- Definitely doing this again . . . just as much second F going on as first F this morning.
