You know how sometimes something happens in life, and you’re fully in that moment, and then, out of nowhere, a big realization just hits you, clear as day?
That happened to me this past October.
Northwest Stadium. Our place. Against the Bears.
I’m sitting on the bench. Dejected. A few seconds left in the game. Down 3, with the ball, but on the wrong side of the field. And I’m pissed off. Our special teams unit hadn’t played up to our standard. So I’m sitting there replaying a bunch of moments in my head, fuming.
