Fed Unemployment Projection: Jobless Rate Will Stay High For Next 2 Years

Well, it is just a sign that we have a really big, systemic problem(s). Very little job creation in the private sector, and government that can not sustain itself. It is quite a predicament - one that will take all of us working together to solve. Yes, the economy will come back to a degree, but not to the 2007 levels, and that is a long-term issue to have unemployment - and underemployment - rates as high as they really are today.

TEAMWORK IN SPORTS - "THE INCHES IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE"

So many times, we think of the ‘great coach speech’ that happens pregame or at halftime that makes all the difference. Sometimes, that is true both in real life and in the movies (Witness Sean Payton at the 2010 Super Bowl, firing-up the New Orleans Saints by telling them they were going to do something that had never been tried in a Super Bowl before – trying an on-sides kick to start the second half to keep the ball away from Peyton Manning and the Colts {putting Coach Payton forever in Super Bowl lore and helping the Saints win the first ever Super Bowl!}).

While reality is great, the movies are even better. One of the best inspirational movie speeches of all time is that given Al Pacino in ‘Any Given Sunday.’ View the clip of the speech below (warning, there is 1 expletive in it, but it is in context – just makes it not ‘kid-friendly’):



Do you agree with his proposition that life and football are both ‘games of inches?’

Also, do you have a personal sports story to discuss? Do you have another clip of a ‘coach speech’ from another movie to suggest to the class? Post these here as comments or better yet, send them to me at dwyld.kwu@gmail.com and I will post a compilation here.

Look forward to the discussion.
