    Dan Campbell's decisions in the NFC Championship game - Exploring the historical precedent for success - Episode 109

    How Dan Campbell's style reminds us of the story of Gerald "Gee"  Walker

    As was said in 1933 of Gee, '... we want the wild mustang of the range, no one wins the race with old dobbin.'

    An amazing passage attributed to Aidan Hutchinson

    You won’t find tears in Detroit. If you want excuses, you won’t hear them coming from Ford Field. As hard as today’s loss was, it is not a definition of the Detroit Lions culture. It’s a testament to how far we have come and how far we can go. It is the city’s perseverance of hard working people is what makes this state great. A city born in steel, diesel, and blood will not let a moment like this hold them back. In a city like this, in a culture like this, you learn that failure is just an opportunity to improve. A moment that Michigan men don’t shy away from. You take a look at those college boys down the road, it took them a couple trips to hell & disappointment, all to bring glory back to Michigan. Greatness is a journey - not a light switch, and it may take a few more days in the dark to see the light, but the Lions will get there. Together, we will Restore The Roar. 

    Romans 5:3-4 says: "Not only that, but we rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope, and hope does not put us to shame."

    Episode 37: ODG Series #5 - Calvin Peete - Golf's Forgotten Star

    Episode 37: ODG Series #5 - Calvin Peete - Golf's Forgotten Star
    Gordon Hobson joins us in this episode to focus upon a story, arguably unprecedented in the world of golf. Calvin Peete was born into to a family of migrant laborers in 1943, dropping out of school in the eighth grade he went to work picking crops....not a familiar springboard for PGA Tour success, particularly when you realise that he played his first game of golf at the age of 23! Dedication and hard work contributed to Peete's rise to the top of worldwide golf throughout the 1980's. His success was very much an extension of the golfing legacies of men such as boxing champion Joe Louis and forebears such as Spiller, Rhodes, Sifford and Elder the real pioneers of the UGA and the struggle aginst the PGA Tour's caucasian only policy. Gordon's biography of Calvin Peete, entitled - Golf's Forgotten Star - will be published by Rowman & Littlefield on the 6th of February 2024.
