Idea: An anonymous “vote to end meeting” button on Teams where if 50% of people press it, the meeting ends immediately.

In a story for tomorrow, @SethWEmerson and I examined the uptick in drafted TEs (21) and some of the factors why.
As part of it, we looked at the 7 or so schools that are considered the top TE producers over the last 10 drafts. Here are their combined NFL stats.

Left handed people existing breaks a rule in evolution that nobody can explain

Only about 10% of the population is left handed and that number has stayed the same for 10,000 years

It never goes up and never goes down

Evolution isn't meant to work like that, traits spread because they are useful or die off because they aren't

Left handedness doesn't do either and stays the same percentage across every culture, country and population

They process fear differently and react faster to danger than right handed people

They are different neurologically and slightly overrepresented in certain criminal populations and significantly overrepresented among US presidents

The trait seems to produce extremes

Ancient cultures were afraid of them, the word "sinister" originates from the Latin word "sinistra" which means "left" or "on the left side"

10%
There's always 10%

Never more

It was decided that was the exact number needed in the population

[Excelsior @AntiExcelsior]

@frozenaesthetic This explains why, when people see that I am left handed, they say, "Oh you're left handed!". Then they take a step back.
The right handed people of the world still try to oppress with their scissors and what not, but our genes remain strong.

[Coach AJ 🎯 Mental Fitness @coachajkings]

Ben McCollum shares what it feels like to be around first-place people and a first-place culture.

"I went to Northwest Missouri State, and my first practice with Steve Tapmeyer - best coach I've ever been around - I sat there and I'm like, 'This is what first place feels like. This is what a first-place culture feels like. This is what first-place people feel like.'"

That was the wake-up call. He realized what first-place people have:
"They've got an extreme work ethic. They've got an edge to 'em that other people don't - a competitive spirit."

Then he quoted John Thompson:
"You can tame a fool a lot quicker than you can resurrect a corpse...We want guys with a little edge to 'em."

You can coach skills, but you can't coach competitive spirit. You don't want to consistently coach their effort and attitude.

The last thing they look for: Energy givers.
"Over the years, we found that guys that are moody don't make it in our program."

"If you're moody, if you have low energy, if you suck the life out of the building - you don't make it."

Talent isn't enough. Your energy matters. Your attitude matters.

Successful people have a competitive edge, they bring energy, and they look to consistently get better.

They raise the standard through what they do.

Billy, this is Alysa Liu. She’s a relief pitcher. She is one of the most underrated players in the game. Her only defect is that she throws funny.

@Coll3enG Wouldn't be surprised if intentional. The default selections are typically high cost funds. Often there is a kick back feature to cover a portion of the employer match. Keep complaining until you can get access and move your money to an in-plan index fund.
