Monday Night Madness (from 10/17/05) – I was watching Monday Night Football, and I saw something that seems to be repeated at every major sporting event these days (especially basketball and football). What seems to be a routine play is met with strutting and taunting by the player who made the play. It could be just a run of the mill tackle and the player will jump up like he’s saying, “Look at me! I’m the greatest!” and walking like a peacock after making an average play. To me this seems ridiculous, but the players get a real charge out of it. If it’s that much fun, why not try this in your personal or business life? Give Junior a belly bump for taking out the trash. Complete your expense report and give a high five to everybody in the office. Finish cleaning the bathroom and do the Ty-D-Bowl dance through the house. Who knows? This might inject some fun into the monotonous routine that represents the bulk of many of our lives.
