December 4, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Who is quick to pull a red flag as often as possible? The same people who whine the loudest when they get flagged. If that’s you, let’s talk about flagmanship, red flagmanship.

WORTHY ENOUGH: OREGON DUCKS

November 24, 2023 by David Gillaspie

The Oregon Ducks were worthy enough in 2011 against a team with suspicious recruiting. Maybe not so worthy against another team with suspicious recruiting in 2015 Today NIL money cures all of the suspicious recruiting. And Oregon is more than worthy enough.

QUITTING LOSERS FOR BAD PLAYOFF MOOD

May 12, 2023 by David Gillaspie

Quitting Losers is the worst show on television. Last night’s episode was the Phoenix Suns quitting on the Denver Nuggets. I’m not a fan of either team, but I am an NBA fan. Why is it especially hurtful to watch professional players quit on a game?

GOLD WATCH OR GOLD MEDAL

April 2, 2023 by David Gillaspie

This gold watch was once the most desired piece of jewelry on any wrist. If you didn’t wear a Seiko watch, who were you? This one came from San Antonio, Texas after the owner whipped the strongest man he’d ever met in arm wrestling. After that it was a gold medal.

January 28, 2023 by David Gillaspie

If you don’t care about something, stay off the soapbox. Save your big talk for something you care about, we’ll figure out the rest. Once you’ve been around the block a few times it gets easier to care than not care. Why, you ask?

SOCIAL COMPETITION: WHERE’S THE SCOREBOARD?

June 26, 2022 by David Gillaspie

Social competition follows a different set of rules than sports. Sports take preparation and executing a plan. Then there’s the scoreboard. It explains the difference between winners and losers with few questions.

JOB APPLICATION: IT NEVER ENDS, NOR SHOULD IT

May 18, 2022 by David Gillaspie

An election is a job application. Win an election and you get the job. Lose an election? Then what? Nixon is a good example.

SELF INTEREST? DON’T FORGET THE ‘ENLIGHTENED’ PART

November 6, 2021 by David Gillaspie

‘Self interest’ is the biggest driver in human history. Think about it. Self + Interest = “Waddabout me?” But, you know this. They aren’t cuss words, or accusations, like ‘selfish interest,’ or, ‘selfish bastard,’ because this is where the enlightened part is supposed to kick in. “Enlightened self interest,” or, “Whaddabout me and you?” That’s […]

VOLUNTEER ARMY SUCKER, ENTHUSIASTIC LOSER

September 9, 2020 by David Gillaspie

At nineteen I told my dad I was joining the service, that I was looking at the Army or Navy because they had two year enlistments. My feeling was I’d know all I needed to know after two years, like any nineteen year old know it all since I already knew everything. Nineteen year olds […]
