JUST NOW: Holy… and I do mean Holy Shlit!!
Tom Homan had a few comments about the Pope’s criticism.
“Let me give a message to the Pope guy. I’m a lifelong Catholic and I’ve been through the Catholic Doctrine. He ought to concentrate on fixing the Catholic Church.”
Kirby Smart said, "The disease that creeps into your program is called entitlement...We have a saying around our place, we eat off the floor. If you're willing to eat off the floor, you can be special."
Entitlement is the enemy of hard work.
It's the delusion that you deserve something that you haven't earned.
• Entitlement is the enemy of progress.
• Entitlement means you're lacking in gratitude.
• Entitlement means you're not living with a growth-mindset.
6 Ways to Get Entitlement Out of Your Culture
1. Lead by Example - Leaders should demonstrate humility and a non-entitled attitude. Leading by example is not about your position or title, it's about your behavior. When leaders show they don't consider themselves above others, it sets a tone for the team, discouraging entitlement.
2. Create a Culture of Growth - When you have a mindset of excellence and improvement then the growth will never stop. Encourage a place where learning from failures, continuous self-improvement, and personal development are valued. This promotes humility and helps people understand that effort and learning are key to success, not just inherent talent or privilege.
3. Foster a Culture of Gratitude - Create an environment where gratitude and humility are valued. Encourage people to appreciate what they have and the efforts of others. You can be entitled when you are grateful for every day and every opportunity. This mindset will reduce the feelings of entitlement and promote a more cooperative and appreciative culture.
4. Set Clear Expectations and Accountability - When people know what to expect, they know how to act. Clearly define roles, responsibilities, and goals. When team members know what is expected, they understand that success is a result of meeting these objectives, not just a default outcome.
5. Encourage Service and Empathy - Promote activities that involve serving others or contributing to the team. When people know each other and care for each other, they connect and lack feelings of entitlements. It helps drive collaboration, empathy, and service to the team. People understand the value of contributing, as opposed to expecting things without effort.
6. Regularly Assess and Adjust - Continuously evaluate the team's culture and make adjustments as needed. Regular assessment helps identify entitlement issues early and allows for timely interventions to maintain a healthy, collaborative team environment.
"We don't run from hard work; our kids don't run from work. As long as you don't have entitlement in your program, you got a shot." - Kirby Smart

The man filmed riding his bike getting executed by thugs in a stolen car was named Andreas Probst.
Probst was a retired police chief who spent 35 years in law enforcement.
Probst was found lying on the side of the road by his wife and daughter.
Probst was about to celebrate his 35th wedding anniversary.
“Being around him, it was like being next to a ray of sunshine,” his daughter said. “He was always laughing, always smiling, offering you support, life advice, career advice.”
Andreas Probst’s life mattered.
Just a guy with 39 successful combat flight missions on his resume about to dig in with a machine gunner at Omaha Beach on D-Day behind the plate. Two goddamn men.
This is going to be a shocker for a lot of people. White people were slaves too and also Asians, Hispanics and Indians.
Slavery existed before America and African Kings sold other Africans in the Slave Trade.
Knowing the facts about History is important. PASS IT ON
Tony Dungy, the Hall of Fame NFL coach who spoke at the March for Life rally yesterday is being attacked by left wing extremists over his pro-life Christian views. Dungy has 3 biological children and 8 adopted children. Retweet to show your support to this great man!
@KSeaboldt They played the way they played.
Which wasn't good enough to win.
That's the excuse they weren't good enough as a team to win today.
Maybe next time they change schemes and things come out different.
But the Bills won and looked like the better team all day.
Go Chiefs
