Monday morning quarterback. That’s the guy who

gathers with his pals after watching Sunday’s game and critiques

the players. “The quarterback must be blind not to have seen that

guy in the open.” “I can’t believe he missed that pass.”

Easy enough to see that in replay sitting in the easy chair

with a bowl of chips at your side. But if you’re on the field with

large semi-humans thundering down on you with the explicit

desire to make you a greasy spot on the turf, it’s way different.

What makes the difference? Well, it’s easy to stand

strong when it’s all sunshine and roses. But standing strong

when things go wrong, that demonstrates real character.
