Take Three Seconds...

Some of you may know what I'm talking about but most of you will not. In season 1 on HBO's The Newsroom the President of the station (Sam Waterson) informs his staff that Osama Bin Laden has been killed. He tells his staff to take three seconds and remember where they are and who they're with. Because this will be a night they will remember for the rest of their lives. Now there is much less drama on our end of the spectrum and I don't want to sound ridiculous but I think we should take notice.

All of the things that happen in our lives can go by so fast. Things like watching your kids grow up or marrying the love of your life. These types of things often rightfully take precedent over others. That's why I'm encouraging all of you to take three seconds and just three because you can't spare anymore. I want you to remember this game, this night, this season because these don't come along too often. Remember where you were when Olsen caught that game winning touchdown in Seattle. Remember who you were with when TD caught that game ending interception against the Packers. But most of all remember all of our fallen heroes and their sacrifices which make it possible for you to take those 3 seconds. Love you guys.

#KeepPounding forever.

Charlie: I need to tell you that you're going to remember this night for the rest of your lives. It's going to be a long night and we need you to work fast and we need you to work well. But once in a while, take three seconds- you can't spare more than that- take three seconds to notice where you are and what you're doing. Will's gonna go on the air in a few minutes so that we can report that at the order of the President of the United States, US Special Forces have shot and killed Osama bin Laden.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.

      Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
