- January 12, 2018 -

When I'm back visiting family in Philly, I'm an Eagles fan.

But since I live in Pittsburgh, to not root for the Steelers would be sacrilege. Potentially even life-threatening...haha.

So it goes without saying, I gotta back my man Ben.

Even (especially) when he said, "Maybe I don't have it anymore" after a lousy and frustrating game three months ago where he threw five interceptions in a 30-9 humiliating loss to Jacksonville.

I think we've all thought that at one time or another. We're human.

We don't really mean it, but at that moment we kinda loose our swagger. Our shoulders slump.

At least we don't have to listen to an endlessly looping three-second soundbite of what we utter when we've just had a crappy day LOL...

And yeah, the fact that he's no spring chicken in an arena of younger quarterbacks makes me feel a little less than my 59 years.

So what's his secret?

...he simply focuses on playing well.

Sure, it helps that he's got two of the top position players in the league in wide receiver Antonio Brown and running back Le'Veon Bell.

Just like we need to have a staff or team we can count on to make our job easier.

Sure, it's normal to want a little "payback" after the Jaguars shut him down in ways few others have done.

Just like most of us feel after losing a deal to a competitor. Being an alpha male, heck I have a healthy ego.

Believe him or not, Roethlisberger insists he just keeps focusing on playing well. One game at a time. One playoff at a time. Doesn't matter who the opposing team is.

And that resonates with me.

The last two weeks have been a bit brutal in our properties biz. Lost deals that I had no control over. Hit with a law suit that is bogus and pisses me off.

We all have stuff that happens. But we get up each day ready to slay the dragons that are put in front of us. We do what we can about situations out of our control and then let'em go.

We have confidence in our supporting team, in our processes and in ourselves.

And we celebrate the wins...that's the fun part 🙂
