How it feels walking out of the theater after seeing Project Hail Mary and feeling hope and happiness instead of doomerism despair about the future

[JaguarGator9 @JaguarGator9NFL]

In the last month:

USA wins the gold medal over Canada in hockey for the first time since 1980 in an incredible game. Gets criticized by mainstream media

Miami (OH) goes undefeated. Gets criticized by mainstream media

Bam Adebayo scores 83 points in a game. Gets criticized by mainstream media

Remember when people in sports media actually liked sports?

Can't we just, you know, enjoy sports and really cool things when they happen?

Look at how EXCITED the rest of the Hoosiers were for Pat Coogan winning Rose Bowl offensive MVP.

Guy works graveyard shifts at an assisted living center to pay tuition, places 2nd in the country at the NCAA D3 Cross Country National Championship, and even makes the Olympic marathon trials with a 2:12. NCAA boots him because a community fundraiser helps him with tuition.

TNT is a paid channel, you can get ABC practically free.

Also, you put them right up against NFL games that drew 21.34 million and 15.46 million.

You actively found ways to hurt the product knowing you could use it as a justification for whatever narrative you want to push @CFBPlayoff

If you have claim to cover the NFL and you don’t know what this means. Immediate credential canceled.

[Su’a Kristopher Cravens @SuaKCravens]

The disservice is to the kids that weren’t recruited by major college branded schools, that put in the work and find a way to put together a playoff season, and get what they’re owed taken away by the
SEC teams that weren’t good enough to make it on their own merit, so they cry and complain for the next 30 days because they didn’t handle their own business 😵‍💫😭

Coach Leach used to say “all sacks are on the quarterback.”

As a player, that used to piss me off — because we all know that's not true. Sometimes the protection breaks down, a back misses a chip, or a tackle gets beat.

But looking back, it was great coaching!
It was about ownership and improving the situation.

If you’re a quarterback and you view every sack as being on YOU, you’ll look for ways to improve it:
-Change the play call.
-Adjust the protection.
-Check the ball down.
-Scramble.
-Throw it away.

But if you shrug it off as “the O-line’s fault,” you give your power away.
You can only improve when THEY do — and that keeps you stagnant.

The same principle applies in other area’s for QB’s.

A receiver drops a ball?
-Take ownership. Ask yourself: Did I have the right pace? Was it a good location? Was it the right read? Did I spend time with him after practice working that route?

A missed signal?
-Take ownership. Did I communicate it clearly? Did I hold an extra signal meeting?

When you take this mindset — “it’s on me” — you stay focused on how you can grow, not on who you can blame.

Now, bring that into your own field.
What are the “sacks” in your business, career, or relationships that you can start taking ownership of today?

Because ownership always leads to improvement — and excuses always lead to stagnation.
