Every Memorial Day, this picture gets me. While some of us are at the beach eating BBQ and burgers...some spend it like this. Her fiancé was killed by a roadside bomb in Iraq. Gut check kinda stuff. Monday, please honor our fallen men and women. They’ve earned it...

3. Time when it’s gone...

Everybody who enters the coaching profession knows the deal. Produce, or get fired. It’s just that simple. But for all fans who hide behind keyboards & smear coaches, you’re not just ripping coaches apart. You’re ripping wives and children apart, too.
