“If you aren’t fired with enthusiasm, then you will be fired with enthusiasm.”   —   Vince Lombardi

(Ol’ Vincent Thomas Lombardi is an American icon!  They don’t make them like him anymore.  And, his style might not work in today’s professional sporting environs anyway.  Today’s pro athletes need to be handled with kid gloves these days.  It’s because of the BIG bucks that they make.  Back when Vince was coaching most of his players made peanuts!  During the off-season they would either go back to the family farm/ranch, or sell used cars . . . or insurance.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.”   —   Vince Lombardi

(Do you think old Vince came up with gems like this, all on his own, or were they things his grandmother used to say?  Hmm!  Be well, do good . . . and Go Bills!)   —   YUR

“A school without football is in danger of deteriorating into a medieval study hall.”   —   Vince Lombardi

(Ahh . . . I love football just as much as – maybe more than – the next American male, but this is just plain stupid.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
