That’s it! …and after approximately 110 min into the (2 hr) show, something happens where it appears the lover is spurned, by some freak occurrence; but then is resolved in the next 10 min.

I'm not buying anything. 56 mercenaries who were somewhere else last year and who are looking to be somewhere "better" than BC next year. To paraphrase Jerry Seinfeld, you're not rooting for BC students. You're rooting for maroon laundry.

Why don’t you go interview the citizens of Portsmouth. They all know she’s crooked.

I believe @CaptPat48 has some thoughts on the crowd from Kings' Point.

Does it cover vet bills?

More news from the "God is good" front. Not only did Apollo's biopsy come back as benign, Wifer just got a bonus that fully covers the cost of his surgery. Thank you so much for all the prayers, folks. They're appreciated more than you know. God. Is. Good.

Most beautiful place in the country!

Over 2,500 games from the dugout. 50+ years in baseball. 17 as an MLB manager. I won Manager of the Year and also lost more games than I want to count. I led teams through losing seasons and took a team to the World Series. If I could go back to my first day as a leader, here are the 5 lessons I'd whisper in my own ear: Lesson 1: Be a window when it's good, a mirror when it's bad. The leaders I respected most shared every win and absorbed every hit. What this looks like in practice: • Wins: name the people who made it happen • Losses: say "that's on me" before anyone asks • Locker room: spotlight the effort before the outcome Your team will fight harder for a leader who deflects credit and absorbs blame. Lesson 2: Nobody hands you trust. You earn it before you coach it. Early in my career, plenty of coaches tried to fix my swing. I tuned out every one I didn't trust. Get to know your people before you try to develop them. Their hobbies, their family, what makes them tick. Then the coaching lands. Lesson 3: Shower well after every loss. After a losing streak in Colorado, our team president asked me how I kept the clubhouse together. This was my rule: • Self-evaluate honestly, were we prepared, did we execute? • Shower well, wash off the grit, grime, and angst before you walk out • Be present for whoever you're going home to Tomorrow is a new opportunity. Don't drag yesterday into it. Lesson 4: Lead transformationally, not transactionally. Transactional leaders ask: what can this person do for me? Transformational leaders ask: how do I put this person in a position to win? The first builds compliance. The second builds careers. When your people start chasing growth instead of your approval, you've crossed over. Lesson 5: Stay humble before life humbles you. There are two kinds of people in this world: those who are humble, and those who are about to be. Discipline keeps you in the first group: Skill gets you in the room. Humility keeps you there. 50 years taught me leadership isn't about you. It's about the people you serve. @rockies
