Blinders

It’s been interesting to watch entrenched Trump supporters dig in even deeper after every misstep, misstatement, or mistake.

But before you dismiss them as idiots, let me ask you, especially my Chicago folks, do you buy R. Kelly’s music?

Have you chosen to ignore his problematic personal behavior or just been unable to see his behavior as problematic?

Or maybe, the things he does that you support, in your mind, offset the really nasty things you don’t support.

Or maybe the folks he’s doing the nasty things to, don’t matter to you.

“Folks stay on the “I KNOW R. KELLY IS TRASH BUT HE IS SO GOOD” wagon and THAT is wack … It’s like Trump supporters being all “WE KNOW HE CAN’T READ BUT HE IS OUR PRESIDENT. RESPECT HIM.”” ~ Awesomely Luvvie Ajayi

The Long View

It hasn’t happened often during the Saban era, but after an Alabama loss, I usually limit my exposure to social media. Not because of the haters (hating those consistently at the top is an American pastime) but because of the so-called fans.

In the thread of the one post I did read after the 2017 loss to Auburn, ungrateful “fans” ripped the QB primarily, the coaching staff, the defense …and basically declared the season over!

Forget the Shula years…these folks seem to have forgotten about 2015, when the experts declared the dynasty over after the loss to Ole Miss, only to have Alabama end the season with National Championship #16.

In Alabama Football, as in life, it pays to take the long view.

Everyday Values

“It’s not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.” ~ Roy E. Disney.

If you say you value integrity, SHOULDN”T you be where you say you’re going to be, when you say you’re going to be there…do what you say you’re going to do, when you say you are going to do it…you know, be accountable to yourself?

Asking for a friend…

Inhale Integrity, Exhale Excuses…
Inhale Commitment, Exhale Guilt…
Inhale Accountability, Exhale Anxiety…
