Ouch.... that stings!! OK, I’ll try another one: ”I am who I am, it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks.” This is another phrase that while true at its heart, is unfortunately misused by many people to justify their bad behaviors or lousy personalities. Instead of saying “man I was a real jerk in that situation, I need to be better.”, they think “I am who I am, if they don’t like it, that’s their problem.”

I can see the positive uses of the phrase, but unfortunately, many people, especially young people, don't see the "hard work" part, they just see it as a shortcut to getting what they want. Its just my opinion, I didn't mean to upset anyone, I just think the wording of the phrase can lead to misuse.

"Fake it till you make it" (or "Fake it until you make it") is an English aphorism which suggests that by imitating confidence, competence, and an optimistic mindset, a person can realize those qualities in their real life. To me, people who use this concept are saying "I don't have to learn anything or apply myself or work hard, I'll just act like I know what I'm doing to fool everyone into thinking I'm competent." I would respect someone more if they said to me at my job "I don't know everything, but I'm willing to learn and work hard to get there.", then someone who tells me "I know what I'm doing, I've got this.", then proceeds to show me that they do not "got this". I'm glad I am not someone who is in charge of hiring people....I don't know how they weed their way through all the BS in job interviews to hire the people who actually have competence, instead of those who "fake it 'til they make it!"

It was 4th and 27.....I think the Bills D was well aware of what was coming in this situation. -

Is anyone watching Big Sky, Tuesday at 10 on ABC. Two episodes in, and it’s pretty good so far, it’s got a good cast, including the actress who played Lagertha on Vikings. It’s got a bit of a Twin Peaks feel to it. -
Gabriel Davis made the local news down here in the Orlando area for providing Thanksgiving meals to first-responders who had to work on Thanksgiving in his hometown of Sanford. Here's a link to the report: VIDEO: NFL receiver, UCF Alum Gabriel Davis provides Thanksgiving meals for Sanford first-responders (wftv.com)

Reggie Ragland is still in the league??? -
Enjoyed the "Wizard of Oz" episode last week. This weeks episode had a patented Fargo-style death, and I'm sure there will be more to come in the finale next week!! Looking forward to how it all plays out!

Pick 2 teams to disappear from NFL without anyone noticing
Special K replied to Mr. WEO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Yep, and make the Titans move back to Houston and change their names back to the Oilers!! -
I honestly would have been more down about the loss if the Bills failed to score on the final drive and lost it that way. The fact that the Bills could be down that many players on D, play as bad in the second half as they did, and still take the lead with 34 seconds to go is a sign of a good team with heart that has learned how to make plays in the clutch. Losing a game on a 1 out of 100 chance play made by a future Hall of Fame WR....all you can do is tip your cap to him, and move forward, heal up over the bye week and approach these last 6 games with confidence. Go Bills!!

Maybe I was grasping at straws here, but we can all agree they could have done something better than what they did...that’s for sure.

Or someone could have tried to push him out of bounds while he was in the air....there’s no force out rule.
