WEST COAST WIPEOUT FOR PAC-12?

The west coast finally achieved what the smart sports guys from the eastern time zone have said for years: The Pac-12 is a minor league athletic conference. They always blamed the three hour time difference for media neglect. Was it ever all about the clock? Now time has run out. What happened? No respect, that’s […]

TALKING BACK? DON’T BACKTALK ME SON

Talking back is a right and a privilege, but it comes with a caveat: It may not be as appreciated as you’d hope. The great Randy Johnson said it well with: “I don’t care who you are, don’t get in my face!” the 6-10 Johnson snapped at one point as they brushed past the cameraman. […]

TAKE ‘THE PAUSE’ TO SHOW RESPECT

‘The Pause’ in this post is the moment a medical team takes after a patient dies. Whoever is in the bed deserves a moment of quiet for the life they led. I’m a fan of people understanding the idea of respect and how it’s shown. But why wait until the last moment?

DISCONNECT RESPECT STARTS EARLY

I asked for disconnect respect once. Didn’t get it. Instead, I gave respect to the disconnected and stood with them. I was nineteen and joined the All Volunteer Army.

NO RESPECT FOR FRAGILE MEN?

‘No respect’ shows up when you least expect it. At least that’s when it should show up; out of the blue, left field, from nowhere. And it hurts feelings. How many times has it happened to you?

RESPECT YOURSELF FIRST? IT TAKES SOME PRACTICE

Try and respect yourself when you see others doing the wrong thing. But, maybe they don’t know they’re doing something wrong, and you don’t want to correct them? If you know better, then what’s your excuse for not doing better? Call it a lifestyle, or a life choice, or maybe just being a decent person. […]

RESPECTING DECISIONS IS HARD, BUT WHY BE A PUNK ABOUT IT

Respecting decisions is part of the hard learning process. It starts early. Parents decide to put little Jimmy in an accelerated learning school and he learns to doubt their decisions sooner than later. But he still shows up for school everyday. Why? Because even little Jimmy knows that respecting decisions made for him by people […]

RESPECT MATTERS MORE TODAY? HERE’S WHY

When self respect seems like a forgone conclusion, there’s trouble. “Self respect? Of course I’ve got it, why wouldn’t I?” Here’s the key: If you don’t have respect for others, how can you respect yourself? While you’re thinking about a clever excuse of an answer, let’s keep it simple: You can’t respect yourself if you […]

OLD AGE SCREAMS, “GIVE ME MY REVERENCE”

Old age in many cultures bring celebrations and reverence. Why? If you rack up enough years and you’re the last one standing, you are an automatic authority on the era you lived through. Pretty easy stuff so far. Too easy? Unless you get old in America. Then it’s a different story. There’s a deflection point […]

Demand Respect, Give Respect On Demand Right Back

I’m not the first to feel left out and ignored by people who demand respect. Nor the first to be banished for demanding it back. One man’s sibling spoke in a way that lacked respect. The message given back was, “Don’t talk to me unless you talk with the respect I demand.” […]
