Here are some good sports quotes from some all-time greats.

“Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy you can beat every time.” Lou Brock

"The difference between the impossible and the possible lies in a man's determination." Tommy Lasorda

“It’s not the will to win that matters—everyone has that. It’s the will to prepare to win that matters.” Paul "Bear" Bryant

"To succeed...You need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you."~Tony Dorsett

 I sit and think that in Today's society no one pays attention to the finer things of life. Many think that they know what the best things in life are, but don't. The best things in life are the small things that you don't realize are important until they are gone. So take time cherish life and loved ones. I feel that this song sums up My thoughts.

"Back"
 Colt Ford (feat. Jake Owen)

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

When I think about how it used to be, Lord it was so simple then
Dirt-bike and a fishin' pole at a fishin' hole with all my friends
Nothin' better than a BB gun in my backyard just huntin' squirrels
Took a ring from my mama's drawer and gave it to this little girl
Her mama called mine and then my daddy had to have a talk
I remember like yesterday what he said when we took that walk
"Son don't you ever tell no lie, even if the truth burns"
Everyday my mind goes back to all those lessons learned
And I wanna go

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

I remember that Texaco that Mr. Logan used to own
They turned in something else and Mr. Logan's long gone
My best friend David, he grew up ridin' in that wheelchair
Thought I'd give a million bucks if that old boy was still here
Ain't it funny how time goes by and memories seem to fade away
They built a parking lot on the baseball field we used to play
That skating ring is closed down, but now I see us back again
I remember those all night skates, very first dates and my old friend

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

My dad's gettin' older now but son he's still as tough as ever
Him and my little boy are best friends now, wish it could last forever
My mama is still the one I talk to when I need advice
She never ever let me down
God what will I do when she's not around

Back
When life was simple as that
I didn't know I'd miss it so bad
When this whole world had way less worries, nobody in a hurry and back
To mama's home cookin' and dad
Was baitin' my hook and I'm sitting on a tailgate,
Thinking 'bout those days just
Wish I was
Back

Insightful words from a football player

Remember when your days in the spotlight is over and its your time to play your role as a on-looker remember people wont remember you by what you do, but by who you are as a person... so my word to a young talent that's maybe making a mark for his/herself people is watching every little move you make to see how you respond to everything rather good or bad... maybe you not in the spotlight but you are a well known person in your city/town and we all know smaller cities people talk like it's a hobby ... so give them something good to talk about when they refer to you instead of you see that girl over there I seen her last night with that boy she aint nothing but a fast girl or that boy stay in so much trouble that im surprised he aint got locked up yet.. cause the BIBLE tell's us a GOOD NAME is better then GREAT RICHES, and LOVING FAVOUR is better than SILVER and GOLD Proverbs 22:1; and to my brothers and sisters out there that got friend indulging in the bad things in life and you know id get rid of them for.

This was borrowed from Mr. James Ford Jr. affectionatly reffered to in El Dorado as Jimmy Ford the Linebacker.

The List

Well I'll be having surgery on the 7th of December. I am not a big fan of surgery so pray for me. On a more positive note the El Dorado Wildcat football team is goin back to the State championship game. My Colts fell to 0-11 on the year. Well I enjoyed the family time at thanksgiving. I was able to finish two peoples Christmas on black friday and got some other people some stuff too. I post another post sometime in the next week
