After you watch the tape, nothing is ever as good or as bad as you thought it was, except that one game when the Vikings played the Bills in 2026.

Dropped interceptions are completely overlooked when it comes to evaluating wins and losses.

Forty years ago I didn’t know anyone at ESPN’s personal opinion on politics. Hell, I didn’t even know their personal opinions of the athletes they covered. And I had no idea what a beautiful thing that was.

Minnesota head coach PJ Fleck on the NIL disparity between the Gophers and Michigan: "Too small, too short, too slow, too young, too inexperienced. T-O-O. Nah, that’s never bothered me. I’ve always felt like my job is to do more with less, and not less in a bad way. We have resources here. My job as a head football coach is never to ‘B-C-D’ it: blame, complain, ever. That’s why you’re the head coach. Figure it out. And my job is to maximize the resources you have." on3.com/nil/news/pj-fleck-ad…

The #MNTwins 2022 draft class has produced 5 big leaguers (so far) in addition to 6.1 fWAR to date in 2026. Really solid.

1000%. Of all managers about 1% fall into the “best managers” category
I believe all the best managers are actually mentors.

The stronger the bonds you have with your teammates, the harder you’ll fight for them!

Doubt isn't a sign you're not ready. It's the price of being in the arena. The best feel the same amount of doubt and anxiety. They've just trained to keep moving with it.

Parents overcoaching is one of the biggest contributors to fear of failure. @landondonovan is right. Kobe Bryant said the same, "Don't say anything. There's a conversation happening inside her head. An outside voice interrupts her process. Let her figure it out herself."

Winning is somewhat uncontrollable, because even if you play your best, your opponent may play better. Therefore, you should focus more on your attitude and effort, which are entirely controllable. This will help you maintain your motivation and composure in games.

What is the real goal? The real goal is not to “beat the market.” The goal is to build wealth. The real goal is not to read more books. The goal is to understand what you read. Don’t let a proxy become the target. Don’t optimize for the wrong outcome.

Be forgiving with your past self. What's done is done. No sense in beating yourself up about it. Be strict with your present self. Win the moment in front of you right now. Be flexible with your future self. There are many paths to success. You don't need life to be a certain way to live well.
