Last week was actually Dr. King‘s birthday but since we’re celebrating it today I thought I’d add my two cents. I’m old enough to remember him and while he didn’t light the fire of the civil rights movement in the US (I’d say Rosa Parks is that hero), he certainly brought the fire to life and tended it well until his assassination (and I remember that as well – how horrible a day it was!).

The QB’s

I know I don’t usually post on the weekend but a thought just hit me and it will be less relevant on Monday. Well, not less relevant but less timely!
The NFL Conference Championship games this weekend are interesting from a business perspective, at least to me. The two conferences set up a Super Bowl that will feature a young QB from the AFC vs. an older one from the NFL. The Championship games remove that element (OK, less so in the AFC – Ben has a bit more experience) from the mix. I’ve always felt that the advantage the older QB’s have in experience – reading coverages, adjusting on the field – outweighs the physical advantages the younger guys have – beating you with arm strength and speed.
What do you think? AFC or NFC? Experience vs. strength? Natch, this old guy thinks experience wins most of the time! I make the same choice in business – give me experience and smarts. Enjoy the games!

The bitter cold that has been working its way east has arrived and I could be less happy only if they banned golf forever. Of course, I also find business lessons in the cold. Continue reading
