You know, in the ten years that I coached, I never met anybody who wanted to win as badly as I did. I'd do anything I had to do to increase my advantage. Anybody who tried to block the pursuit of that advantage, I'd just push 'em out of the way. Didn't matter who they were, or what they were doing. But that was then. You have special talent, a gift. Not the school's, not the townspeople, not the team's, not Myra Fleener's, not mine. It's yours, to do with what you choose. Because that's what I believe, I can tell you this: I don't care if you play on the team or not.

-Coach Norman Dale, Hoosiers

I ruined everyone’s night last night. It is too hard to explain the story but just know that the five people I went out with like me way less now than they did a couple days ago. One of the five people is the girl. I told her she should break up with me for the sake of humanity.

A friend met Desmond Howard, Braylan Edwards and Anthony Carter all on the same day. I usually don’t like famous people because they’re usually so great looking but there’s certainly nothing wrong with a wide receiver.

Just an fyi...I don’t think this Daily Remark is all that good.

My favorite Daily Remark day of the week. Song day. Please click on the Podcast below to enjoy this duet from Grease.

Summer lovin' had me a blast
Summer lovin', happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
I met a boy, cute as can be

Summer days driftin' away,
To uh-oh those summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more,
Did you get very far?
Tell me more, tell me more,
Like, does he have a car?

She swam by me, she got a cramp
He went by me, got my suit damp
I saved her life, she nearly drowned
He showed off, splashing around
Summer sun, something's begun,
But uh-oh those summer nights

Great news. Today is a survey day. If you read below and email me your answer I’ll add 100 Moosejaw Reward Points to your account right away. Moosejaw includes a prepaid return shipping label in each package. We are trying to decide whether we should include a US Postal Service label or a UPS label.

A)The benefit of the US Postal Service label is that you can simply hand the package to your postman or post lady. The downside is that packages shipped via USPS could take two weeks to get to us meaning your return or exchange wouldn’t be processed for a couple weeks.

B) The benefit of the UPS label is that UPS shipments will get back to us in less than 5 days so your return or exchange is processed quickly. The downside is that you need to take the package to a UPS store or you can pay $3 to schedule a delivery to get your package back to us.

Which do you prefer…A is USPS or B which is UPS? Please email me to let me know and the points are yours.

I’m going to post an auto-reply today because when I do these surveys I get so many replies that I can’t keep up but, unless you hear back from me, please consider the Moosejaw points taken care of and thanks for helping out.

Name one movie that starred Patrick Swayze and Diane Lane. Please email your answer to me at Trapper@moosejaw.com but remember that today is an auto-reply day. Today’s auto-reply will include the answer to today’s question as well as two quotes that I like. Big deal.

I got a flat tire last night. The girl assumed there was no way I could figure out how to change the tire and wanted me to call Triple A right off the bat. So, I was determined to solve it and spent about an hour trying to find the tire and then another hour changing the tire. Actually, most of that isn’t true. We did get a flat and the girl assumed there is no way I could change it and I agreed entirely and we were on the phone with Triple A in less than three seconds. I wouldn’t blame you for not liking me anymore.

We had our first softball practice last night. I give my performance a two. I am hoping to be shortstop instead of centerfield this year but I will do whatever is best for the team. If I don’t play shortstop I will cry like a baby and assume that is best for the team.

After practice I went to the girl’s sisters for dinner and their baby was eating a granola bar. Everyone was staring at the baby and laughing like eating a granola bar was the most entertaining and funniest thing they’d ever seen. I clearly don’t get it.

Happy Birthday to Cams!

Less importantly, as you may or may not know, Thursday is my favorite day for the Daily Remark because it is song day. My intention is to ruin the morning for whoever is doing the Podcast. However, staff are now embracing the song which really messes up everything. I think everyone is going reverse psychology on me thinking I’ll get bored with it. I won’t get bored.

Today, please enjoy Everything I Own by Bread….

You sheltered me from harm.
Kept me warm, kept me warm
You gave my life to me
Set me free, set me free
The finest years I ever knew
Were all the years I had with you

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own,
Just to have you back again.

You taught me how to love,
What it’s of, what it’s of.
You never said too much,
But still you showed the way,
And I knew from watching you.
Nobody else could ever know
The part of me that can’t let go.

I would give anything I own,
Give up me life, my heart, my home.
I would give everything I own
Just to have you back again.

Basically, new staff are reading the Podcast everyday and his/her performance is being judged by the rest of the staff. I figure the event will be picked up by a radio show that no one has ever heard of within days. I'm trying to figure out a way for everyone in the world to be able to vote too. Please stand by.

The Thursday Daily Remark is always designed to ruin the day for whoever is reading the Podcast and it's always done with a song. Today please check into the Podcast to enjoy this Neil classic..

Stay for just a while
Stay, and let me look at you
It's been so long, I hardly knew you
Standing in the door
Stay with me a while
I only want to talk to you
We've traveled halfway 'round the world
To find ourselves again

September morn
We danced until the night became a brand new day
Two lovers playing scenes from some romantic play
September morning still can make me feel this way

• I can’t believe that I had never seen the show 8th and Ocean until last night and I don’t like anyone anymore for not telling me about it. It is the best show ever.

• I picked up dinner for me and the girl last night and everyone in the restaurant was bald. I felt like I was in Being John Malkovich.

• I saw my cousin at the gym yesterday. I was on the elliptical machine. He came up to me wearing his Ipod and in a voice loud enough to hear across the room said “I’ve never seen less pretty girls at the gym in my life.” Very appropriate.

• Nothing better than trying to beat the gate being locked with fourteen people stuffed in the Bronco.

The problem with everyone exaggerating about everything is that everyone assumes that everyone else exaggerates so if you want someone to believe the truth you have to exaggerate. For example, I think I really won $40 playing cards Saturday night. But, I have to tell people who ask that I won $60 because they’ll assume I’m exaggerating and believe that I really won about $40. If I told people I won $40 they’d probably think I lost $10. The scale is a complex algorithm developed by MIT students in 1644.

The funniest thing ever happened to me yesterday. I was walking with my friend Hugo, who happens to be a rabbit, when all of the sudden it started to rain. So, we ran under a canopy and started dancing. Well, within about a minute, Hugo started singing some Elton John song. The chorus goes like this and will be a real pleasure to listen to on the Podcast...

Don't go breaking my heart
I couldn't if I tried
Honey if I get restless
Baby you're not that kind
