Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:
Two kids. One rich. One poor.
Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.
The rich kid has two choices.
Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.
Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.
The poor kid has two choices too.
Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.
Or outwork everyone in the room.
Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.
Same choice for all of them.
Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.
The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.
The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.
Greatness doesn't come from where you start.
It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

Interesting that the moon gets all the credit for doing for one minute what clouds thanklessesly do every day. Shoutout clouds. The offensive linemen of the skys
He just "lead" the Cardinals to one of their worst seasons in franchise history with 91 losses in 2023.
I'm guessing a 100 loss season would have gotten him a 3 year extension...
I am frustrated. Extremely frustrated. #STLCards
An emotional Nick Allegretti afterward, filling in for Joe Thuney today. "They were there for me all week with communication, making sure I was engrained in this offense. God, I'm so proud of this team." #Chiefs
Congrats to the new inductees. The HOF is barely a museum when it omits Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, Barry Bonds, Gary Sheffield, Roger Clemens, and so many others. The exclusion of the Andrew Jones’ and Dale Murphys while enshrining guys like Phil Rizzutto is a true embarrassment.
