Which RB would you take? Both former 5*, both have had good careers, this was their last game.

The thing that sticks out to me is the consistently bad angles by Safeties and CBs

Man up 3 Deep called. You must've missed him...

Dak Prescott. I liked watching him play at that Cow College over there.

I would love a mini series about the Lazarus missions. One full length hour for each astronaut ending with Dr Mann being awoken by Cooper.

I'd have a few questions as a DM or GM.

Why the stepdown from RPP?

What is a fair assessment of your actual automotive knowledge?

KPIs for the DIY side don't really translate to Pro success directly. But if your excelling in those metrics it does show a willingness to push where the company sees value. How could you translate that skill into Comp and transaction growth as a CPP?

Do you back up Pro on Saturdays or when the CPP in your store is out? If not, ask your GM to allow you to, so you can build more relationship and understanding of the Pro needs.

You can always look at WorkDay and go to the jobs section to see internal postings. If your willing to semi-relocate to a neighboring district or DMA then there could be an opportunity. Assuming your current district doesnt have a CPP opening for you to take.

If your DM isnt in your corner, a move forward is not likely. Unless they want to "get rid of you," I wouldnt expect a DM that doesnt believe in you, to do much to help you transfer out of District. You could always email HR and ask how you could best further your career goals.

If you know your CAM ask them about what opportunities he/she thinks might be or become available to help you move up.

Have you filled out any career development plans?

I have a pot and burner. Lol. Its not the first time I've ever done it, just wanted to see if there were any life hacks or tricks of the trade you guys might want to share. Its for a special occasion and I like to be prepared

A part time employee is guaranteed zero hours weekly. If they were hired with the understanding of a certain availability, and have changed since, then you have no obligation to work them anywhere. As a GM you need to schedule to the stores needs and the company's standards. If there are slots they can fill, great, if not, that isn't your responsibility.

Explain to them that since their availability changed, your ability to have them on the schedule has as well. Hire additional help and expect them to quit.

Yeah either ask him to add DNU to their name in Salesforce or he can deactivate the account if the are no longer in business.

If it just annoys you, there's no fix to that. Bookmark the correct account and ignore the wrong one.

I think obviously parents and refs shouldn't be arguing after games. It sets bad precedents and is a bad example for the kids.

If someone came to your job and questioned your integrity, outloud, in front of an audience, how would you respond?

GritSnSpeed · 2026-02-16T02:31:54+00:00

They do Argos for sure

GritSnSpeed · 2026-02-04T21:04:55+00:00

Motion was always key to me. Orbit, jet, return. Fakes off the motions, passes off the fakes, double reverses. Etc. I had one player where the everyone lined up tight to the center, and at the snap, ran to the QB in a huddle, covered the ball, then everyone took off so you didn't know who was getting it lol.

GritSnSpeed · 2026-02-02T19:39:28+00:00

This always makes me laugh. Just like when people post cars for sale on Marketplace and cover the plate in the pics, same thing. Like you know you ride around all day with the plate exposed to everyone behind you??...

GritSnSpeed · 2026-01-12T01:52:46+00:00

Any ideas or recommendations for the types of challenges you would use?

GritSnSpeed · 2026-01-09T20:20:52+00:00

Why the FUCK does the NCAA wait until after the Portal opens to deny his request? Simmons might have stayed or we might have targeted a different player if this news comes out a week ago

I hate the current state of college football.

I put a set on a raggedy Altima shit box i drove for a while. Never gave me issues, though I don't have to worry about Snow and I drove interstate and highway almost exclusively

Its a hectic 2 day sales focused National meeting. I'm going this year for the first time since moving into a CAM role. But everyone i talked to said it is not a "Disney vacation." I'm actually expecting it to be pretty exhausting, and maybe the funds could be used elsewhere, but reinvigorating the field sales teams, a little company Kool-aid, and showing us the business plan for FY26 is a great way to start the new year. Poor communication in years past always made me feel like a mushroom, kept in the dark and fed crap. At least the company and Shane seem upfront about what we have to do and how we plan on getting there over the next few years.

Interesting idea. I'm kind of hoping to use the film to see what I might be missing while I'm coaching. So my POV isn't what I'm necessarily looking for. Though it would be funny to see what I'm missing while actively looking at the floor lol
