Grasshopper No.4 talks about “it”. “It” is an intangible quality possessed by winners. Somehow, someway people with “it” find ways to win against all odds. It is a basketball swishing through the net from half-court to win the game again. LeBron James seems to do that. He has that “it” quality. It is Tiger woods sinking a golf ball from the trap to win a tournament. Tiger has had the “it” quality.
Which brings me to the Green Bay Packers. They had the perfect game plan to beat Seattle on Sunday yet they lost at the end because Seattle was lucky. If Brandon Bostick had not had a brain fart on the “on-side kick” near the end of the game. the Packers might have won. If Seattle does not convert on a 2-point conversion, the Packers might have won.
Russell Wilson has “it”. Yes the Packers lost but Wilson has the knack of doing the right thing in the clutch. On Sunday he ran for a touchdown in the waning minutes. He threw a “wobbly duck” pass on the 2 point conversion that should never have been completed. And then Wilson throws a touchdown pass in overtime to win the game. How many times has Wilson done the same thing in his career. He worked the magic when he quarterbacked at Wisconsin. He has worked the magic at Seattle. He has the mystical “it” factor. Yes the Packers lost the NFC Championship game. They were zapped by “it”.
My inside information is that the Packers are addicted to the board game “Settlers of Catan”. It is played in the club house with up to 6 players. I guess it takes 90 minutes to play. You are one of the guys if you are invited to play “Settlers of Catan”. They need to find a new game. One that teaches football lessons. One that deals with “it”.
If you acquire “it” you will know. It will change your life.
I have proof that Grasshopper No.1 and hubby have a 65 inch HDTV with “smart” capabilities, 3D and the new 4K (4 times clearer that existing HD). Do you need all that stuff on a TV? It must be nice.
Love,
Dad
