Jane.....you have so much to learn..........

Jane I have played softball all over the world in the places I lived. Both Fast Pitch and slow. Have been on championship teams as well as ones that went no where. The most fun i ever had was playing with some Britts, Canadians, Aussies in Saudi Arabia. I was the only American on the team. Only a few of them knew how to play. But you have never seen a group of guys play from the heart before. It was the best, most funnest (new Word) team i was ever on. I know you though life was like a box of chocolate, but it's not. It's like a softball game. All though the score was mostly not in out favor I was the winner each one of those games for getting to play with guys that gave from the heart, that tried their best, yet never lost sight that it was a game. I have been on the other side where you played like nothing mattered but the game, you hated everyone on the other team and wanted to kill them just to win. I never want to go back to that........winning is not out doing someone else
(I though he threw that soap box out)

Jane,

At the risk of turning your allegence away from the Vols tonight, I must say..."Shame on you". OH...and be prepared, when Tara sees your comments, she isn't gonna be as gentle nor brief with her reprimand as I was.

Winning isn't everything, Jane.

Have a good day.

E'Lane...shaking my head...

Sorry Jane, but I think you might be showing your colours again. Is that would Daddy always did for you, so he wouldn't have to watch you pitch a fit and cry when you lost....(so how much did he pay the other kids to let you win?)

OK, having said that, I will have to agree with you on one thing, you do have to have the will to win.... but I think my agreeing stops there. If you can't win fair, you're scum....period...the end. There have been times that I was playing basketball with my son and won and after I scored the winning basket, he slugged me.... Trust me, winning matters to him, has since I can remember, but there is a wrong way to lose and a right way....and if you give it your best...winning isn't all that is important. I go out and play softball about seven months out of the year...I'm in league one, the top league, in both womens and co-ed, we do more winning than losing in both leagues and have a nice habit of winning our leagues. The same group of people have played together for anywhere from 8-20 years....and we all take it serious....but, win or lose, no one cries, no one slugs the others, and there is a lot of respect among players.... and the number one rule we have is... we all have fun.... (of course, when you are sponsored by the Palace Saloon, that makes it easy.)

I'm rambling again....Gotta' get back to work.....]

Bottom Line, Jane, don't you worry about my Son, he'll do just Fine...not necessarily as a Football player...but as a person, and in Life....You should spend a lot more time worrying about yourself...

You people who think WINNING is EVERYTHING have missed the Big Boat on life. If you take yourself that seriously, you will have nothing but letdowns in the long run.
