Any Given Bloody Sunday Morning Has Broken

The Rainy Day Manual fantasy football team is 0-5. Just like the Tennessee Titans. I'd have to say there are similiar reasons for both teams going winless so far. Great expectations, bad luck, and lots of injuries. It's a testament to the power of the human body considering how mental momentum can manifest itself so plainly into life. Maybe after that first loss everyone on the team for a split second thought, "We're not as good as we were last year." From there it's just a matter of players feeding off of bad body language and avoiding eye contact with each other. Honesty and genuine communication is essential for group cooperation to be productive. If individuals are doubting one another without voicing that frustration, then it can get really ugly. It's no different than a group of musicians. You've got to be able to turn to someone and say, "I don't think what you are doing is good." Why is that so hard? Any given writer/artist/musician will be the first to admit that most of what they create is indeed "crap." A cognizant person knows that fresh, cerebral brainstorming needs molding and chiseling to get to the prized piece. Sometimes during that process situations can demand more than guidance. Sometimes they need drastic movement to shake things into place.
There's nothing wrong with trying to do something the opposite way you think it should be done. The results can be surprising.
