career easy everybody following francisco highly job joe knows man mayor quite regarded san says steve
I've always thought Steve could be mayor of San Francisco without too much of a fight. That's just the kind of man he is, and how highly he's regarded in that town.

jobs thinking class
I often think about the class differences involved in "jobs" vs. "careers."
loyalty strong jobs
The [best] coaches... know that the job is to win... know that they must be decisive, that they must phase people through their organizations, and at the same time they are sensitive to the feelings, loyalties, and emotions that people have toward one another. If you don't have these feelings, I do not know how you can lead anyone. I have spent many sleepless nights trying to figure out how I was going to phase out certain players for whom I had strong feelings, but that was my job. I wasn't hired to do anything but win.

When I give a speech at a corporate event, I often ask those in attendance, 'Do you know how to tell if you're doing the job?' As heads start whispering back and forth, I provide these clue: 'If you're up at 3 A.M. every night talking into a tape recorder and writing notes on scraps of paper, have a knot in your stomach and a rash on your skin, are losing sleep and losing touch with your wife and kids, have no appetite or sense of humor, and feel that everything might turn out wrong, then you're probably doing the job.'

five football four game gotten headed plays pro running wrong
The running game in pro football has gotten so boring. There's just four or five plays they can run. I think the whole thing is headed in the wrong direction, and it's really unfortunate.
brady directly further game involved knows stimulate suspect top works
Brady is at the top of his game now. He knows what works and what doesn't work. I suspect he'll be more directly involved in what they do, and this will even further stimulate him.

The thing you don't want to do is use him too much against some sturdy run defense,
balance defense england near stand super
Could New England stand up to the Steelers defense of the '70s? No chance. And I don't think they had near the balance the 49ers had during (the Super Bowl) years.

eight help last maybe seven year
Don't look at his last game, or the one before that, or before that. Go back seven or eight games, or maybe a year or two, if you want to try to see tendencies, and even that won't help you.
