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????

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
