In business and in life, you find out who your friends are when you have a problem. Some people you expect to step up don’t and others you did not expect to do, and your relationship with both changes forever.
My favorite Vietnam War book is “Dispatches” by Michael Herr who was a war correspondent there from 1967-69. NYT called it “The best book written about Vietnam.” Novelist John le Carre called it “The best book I have ever read on men in war in our time.” Haunting.
Love reading books on vacation. Blasted through Concrete Blonde (part of Bosch series by Michael Connelly). Loved it. Then reread “The things they carried” by Tim O’Brien, a story about a platoon of American soldiers fighting on the ground in Vietnam war. Great writing.

The four college QB’s who were drafted ahead of Don Mattingly in the MLB amateur draft in 1979 are Dan Marino, John Elway, Jay Schroeder and Rick Leach. Mattingly was drafted in the 19th round because teams believed he was not going to sign and go to college.
Cinema’s greatest scene: ‘Casablanca’ and ‘La Marseillaise’ – Seven Inches of Your Time. This is a wonderful analysis of why this scene was so powerful. 1942, Germany at the height of it’s powers, France occupied, refugees as extras. Love it
team were breaking records again this morning! They packaged 5,042 meals for students in our backpack program! We are that much closer to No Neighbor Hungry, No Food Wasted.
Fred Rogers made a beautiful, brief acceptance speech when he was given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Emmy’s. Doing his 10 second challenge is a great way to start your day. Was for mine.
If you’re going to accept a prize and you have to give a speech, then here’s your blueprint, here’s one of the best acceptance speeches ever made, by FRED ROGERS for being given the Lifetime Achievement Award at the 1997 Emmy’s.
Beautiful beyond belief.
Ravens S Kyle Hamilton has a hefty course load this spring at Notre Dame:
"Digital marketing, finance. I'm not taking any basket weaving or anything like that!"
Told me he's looking forward to being *just* a student, which he has never been able to do in his life.

Kyle Hamilton had a very strong second half of the season capped off by a terrific performance bs the Bengals. No one is talking about his combine 40 time any more (as many of us predicted would happen at the time).
Kyle Hamilton finished his first career playoff game as the team leader in tackles with 9, and one forced fumble that he also recovered. Awesome performance on the big stage. On to 2023 and greater things.
Six first-team All-Pro selections for Zack Martin, eight selections overall. In nine seasons. The only time he hasn’t been named All-Pro in some capacity was 2020, when he missed six games due to injury. 2010s All-Decade. Eight Pro Bowls.
Unreal.
2022 national leaders in 3rd down passing efficiency:

3.) Caleb Williams- 181.21, 10 and 0
4.) Sam Hartman- 179.26, 14 and 2
This is the content I wanted for today. Young man asked who he respects the most. “my mom who’s been deployed for the past year”. What a great surprise and reaction.
My career advice. Determine what you want, determine the price that needs to be paid to get it, then determine whether you are willing to pay that price.
A thought on inspiration. It is often offered the most when needed the least, offered the least when needed the most. When people are on top or winning, a call is nice but not inspirational. Supporting someone when they are struggling will inspire and not be forgotten.
Lunch is served! I knew I wanted to make a difference when I was home in San Diego for break. Enjoyed working at Ronald McDonald House of Charities with families whose loved ones were being cared for at Rady Children’s Hospital.
soph Chris Kavanagh. One of the nations top recruits a year ago, he’ll team with his brother Pat (Tewaaraton Finalist as a soph) to help lead the #5 team in the nation. #GoIrish
“Chris took a major step this fall."
On Chris Kavanagh wanting to elevate his game enough for @NDlacrosse to be the next 1-2 punch like Moore-Shellenberger.
