@bballstrategy In future parts of the series I will get into it.

@OSPpatrick Thanks for reply. Not enough explanation for a typical reader imo. But will look to read more at your site over time.

Excited to finally get this one published!

The last 14 months have been some of the most challenging ever in my life. I’m just so happy we could get this win and head to the Super Bowl. Go Hawks

#Seahawks GM John Schneider is the first GM in NFL history to reach multiple Super Bowls with the same organization — while having a new head coach and no players from the previous Super Bowl team.

Very few people in any walk of the NFL more well-liked or respected than Seahawks GM John Schneider. This is a long overdue honor for one of the best execs of his era.

@jeffcubos @DeanTTraining We’ve got work to do!!

Well deserved!

Here’s how shitty our healthcare system is Order a lab through insurance. Insurance refuses to pay. Sends patient bill for $200. Without insurance and contracting with lab, same EXACT test is $5.

In honor of Lee Corso, all of the teams he played for or coached won today Maryland Louisville Florida State Navy Indiana Northern Illinois

This is an absolutely brilliant story about how 30sec of your time can positively impact someone else.
