  1. Sir,

    Make sure he sees and UNDERSTANDS the opportunity in front of him. There are many more people out there that I see on the job, WITHOUT opportunity. As a father with special needs children, I know. It's an agony no parent or children should have to endure for a lifetime but so many do. And those are just two facets of opportunity lost......

    Make sure he holds himself to a higher standard. As a firefighter, I'm forced to, and that's a good thing....makes it easier to live with oneself. Establish the importance of service, whatever it might be, it will help ground him.

    Make him understand competition......AGAINST HIMSELF. If a test gets the better of him, he needs to find out why, and destroy it next time. It is critical to KNOW WHEN THERE ISN'T A NEXT TIME, especially in life, and of getting it right the first time.

    ACCOUNTABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY......'nuff said.

     

    Best of luck to him (and you :) GO BILLS!

  2. i was gonna tell you all a story involving Schaub, a drunken English soccer fan, and a late-night foot race outside a Houston bar..

    when i first heard it, i thought it was funny.. and then, with what's happened to Schaub since, i think it's kinda pathetic..

     

    anyway.. i would definitely give Schaub a chance to compete on a football field, but i wouldn't release any of my guys to make room until sitting down with him, and seeing where his head's at

    Awe, man, tell the story........ :)
