THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
I believed that I could go to the Super Bowl and win multiple Super Bowls and do all of those things.  I believe in that every day.  Russell Wilson


A lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don’t ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren’t blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart. Tom Brady
