It Ain’t Over ’til It’s Over

Football, especially college football, was a big part of my childhood. Sunday night football was the wrap-up to my weekend. Holidays spent with my family always consisted of watching and playing some form of football. My grandpa was a high school football coach for 40 years. My favorite part about watching games with my grandpa was not only that I learned something new every time, but that he had a little phrase for everything. “X player (Janikowski) is automatic”. “It’s better to be lucky than good”. But perhaps the one I understood least as a kid: “it ain’t over ’til it’s over”, or, alternatively, regardless of how much time was actually left, “there’s a lot of game left”.

Stop Reading Opinion Pieces

…if you’re going to get mad at the publisher

One month after saying I was going to write more , here goes. This one has been in my head for a while, but I never could quite put words exactly to my idea. So this is a little more “stream of consciousness” than usual. Something that I have never understood is people getting mad at a platform/publication for their “opinion” content. It seems to me that most people gloss over the word opinion in the very section in which they are clicking or the very article that they are reading.
