In honor of Father's Day coming up. If you were fortunate to have a dad around and spend time with him, I'm sure he had some interesting life's lessons to pass on. If ya got em share em.

A few from my dad. Some back ground. Dad was Sgt in the AF during Nam tough as nails. Goes into the music biz as an AM dj. Yeah.

-Son, if you are smart enough to get in to jail, you should be smart enough to get out.

-There is nothing wrong with a guy taking care of himself. Using lotion is fine.

-Ya gotta watch out for some women. That might be pretty but they set that trap and your stuck for life(best of his birds and bee's talks).

-I don't care what you got on your report card. Did you learn something today? Are you going to learn something tomorrow? Just learn something new everyday and you will be fine.

-Oil is the lifeblood of your car.

"Measure twice, cut once because you can't do it the other way around."

"A garden needs sun and water. Don't plant in the shade."

"Why pay someone else to fix it if you can do it yourself with a bit of effort."

Top 3 that come to mind...

what a great thread topic. my father wrote me a little book detailing his life experiences about fifteen years ago. i'm on the road for work travel right now but when i get back home i'll dig it up and share a few nuggets.

the most important words that ever came out of my father's mouth were without question:

between yesterday's regret and tomorrow's dream lies today's opportunity.

i'm quite certain that my father didn't come up with that, but it's something that he shared with me at a pivotal point in my life. those few words changed me completely when i first heard them as a teenager, and they still hold as much weight today as they did then. thanks pop. love ya man.

If it flys, floats, or fugs it's cheaper to rent.

No matter how pretty she is, there is some poor son of a bitch somewhere that's tired of her poo.

If you're looking for sympathy it's in the dictionary somewhere between poo and syphilis.

Most in business:

- Remember the golden rule of business: he who hath the gold, makes the rules.

- (when I defended a co-worker that left me in a bad position by saying he's a nice guy) They're all nice guys. But where did that leave ya?

- Either do what you love or figure out how to love what you do, cause that's most of what you'll be doing.

- (on management) Hire good people. Figure out who you can trust. Make sure they get paid. Stay out of their way.

Man, way too many to list.

Most of them were just small things that I can use for the rest of my life.

Fishing, Hunting, Shooting, Treating Women, Driving, Boating...etc.

One that I will never forget though. Me and my buddies and our dads were all sitting around having beers on our dock one night. We were talking about what men and young men talk about after a few too many (I was probably 19-20). One of my bud's dad asked how that thing was going with me and my new girl (she was about 25 ish). I told him perfect, and that she was unreal in the sack.

Dad just smiled and said,

How do you think that she got that way????

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
