@Felix_Sicard It’s that time of year where the Ducks have disappointed us enough that we have the false hope the Angels are going to surprise us and be good.

@RyanGibbs56 I saw this last year during the Angel’s season and I’ve decided there might as well be a Ducks logo in the middle too.

Ted Lasso isn’t just a coach; he’s a playbook on leadership.

His infectious positivity and authenticity are a winning formula for any coach.

He reminds us to stay curious, use humor to connect, and always be true to ourselves.

Here are 7 Leadership Lessons from Ted Lasso.

1: BRING POSITIVE ENERGY - Ted is incredibly positive and optimistic, even in adversity. He encourages his team to focus on their strengths and celebrate their successes, no matter how small. TL: "I do love a locker room. It smells like potential."

2: SHOW EMPATHY - Ted is empathetic and takes the time to get to know his players personally. It is all about RELATIONSHIPS with Ted. TL: "Your body is like day-old rice. If it ain't warmed up properly, something real bad could happen."

3: BE AUTHENTIC - Ted is authentic and genuine. He doesn't try to be anyone other than himself. He is honest with his players and colleagues, even when it is difficult. TL: "You know what the happiest animal on Earth is? It's a goldfish. Do you know why? It's got a 10-second memory."

4: USE HUMOR - Ted has a great sense of humor. He uses it to diffuse tension and bring his team together. He doesn't take himself too seriously and encourages his players to have fun and enjoy the game. TL: "It's kind of like back in the '80s when 'bad' meant 'good.'"

5: BE COLLABORATIVE - Ted believes in collaboration and teamwork. He encourages his players to work together. TL: "I promise you there is something worse out there than being sad, and that's being alone and being sad. Ain't no one in this room alone."

6: BE A CONNECTOR - Ted is a connector of people. He understands that a connected team is a winning team. TL: "If you care about someone, and you got a little love in your heart, there ain't nothing you can't get through together."

7: BE CURIOUS! - Ted does not know it all. He does not have all the answers. He does have ALL of the questions. But he is curious! TL: "I feel like we fell out of the lucky tree and hit every branch on the way down, ended up in a pool of cash and Sour Patch Kids."

What do you do when you’re super depressed since it’s been two months since you left Japan? Homemade sushi! #istillmissjapanthough

My new goal is to find every product I loved in Japan somewhere close to home… #uwajimaya #asahi #mitsuyacider #iboughtalltheyhad

@AnaheimDucks @Angels Game 6… leaving work and driving my vw bus home listening on the radio… going nuts as we came back innning by inning… driving past my house to not jinx it and down to 2nd St. Belmont shore past Legends where people were out in the street celebrating and I wailed on my horn!

Normally I wouldn’t preemptively post a response to the response to the State of the Union, but after reading Sarah Huckabee-Sanders’ remarks on Republicans in a “culture war we didn’t start and never wanted to fight”…ma’am this was nearly a *year* ago

@AnaheimDucks “I keep telling you guys… all I need you to do is just hang out in front of the net and I’ll pass it over the crossbar…”

No Disney World tickets, no problem! Here's how an architect created a roller coaster inspired by Disney World's Big Thunder Mountain in his parents' backyard 🎢✨

The U.S. government made an anti-fascism film in 1943 — and it’s still disturbingly relevant today

Adam Kinzinger: "Oaths matter. Character matters. Truth matters. If we do not renew our faith and commitment to these principles... our shining Beacon on a Hill will not endure."

@AnaheimDucks Sammy Pahlsson hands down! He was the unsung hero of that team… the center responsible for shutting down every other teams’ top scoring line. We didn’t score a ton of goals, but we didn’t have to with him, Travis, and Robby keeping everyone else off the board.

I don’t know, man, maybe some dudes from the 1700s who owned people and would be mystified by the sight of a dishwasher weren’t right about everything in perpetuity

@Reuters Let me fix that headline for you… Costco shares slip only 2% after a 5.5% gain on the day leading into their conference call this afternoon. Oh… and also… labor costs = taking care of their pandemic weary employees by giving them raises and an extra floating holiday… bummer
