Leadership

After dropping to 1-2 for the first time in Gentlemen Game history, a many eyes were fixated on me to see how I would respond. I think all nine of you would agree that I responded with the utmost class, grace, and dignity. Responsibility for the poor play was personally placed upon my shoulders. As a result, my team has responded with two quality wins - one a come from behind on Monday night, and the other a strong out of the game start and the fortitude to hold off a encouraged comeback on Monday night. Then, I wake up this morning to read this:

Rodgers refuses to place blame on O-line.

Wow. The old adage is true: lead by example and others will follow. The class and professionalism I have displayed throughout this season is trickling down to my players. Beyond the wins, playoff victories, and championships that I have become accustomed to, this is what it's all about - shaping the character of young men. Damn, I'm proud of myself.

  1. I admire Rodgers' class, but I think Greg Jennings and I may be ready to blame the O-Line.
