The Chargers, Ravens, Jags, and Eagles are in situations few would have thought possible back in August. The Lane Kiffin experience in Louisiana has not had the shiny start many hoped, though everyone should calm down and give it some time. Miami was mistreated in South Bend.

LOSS COLUMN: OVERCONFIDENCE AND ASSUMPTION

Today on the show Gibbs talks with team Lancaster Thunder about the dual dangers of overconfidence and assumption. That combo can quickly land us in the loss column in life. This past week Florida State fired head coach Mike Norvell and Gibbs spent time thinking about all the factors he does not know about the situation. Was it a good firing? What kind of men was his program producing? Should so many decisions be based off Wins and Losses? Despite a lack of detail, it is tempting to make a judgement. Asking good questions and being slow to make assumptions serves us well as we go through life. Knowing when to say "I Don't Know" matters. In Ephesians 4, Paul gives excellent counsel as he teaches Christlikeness in our interactions with each other. Gibbs considers the excellence of this Saturday's college football games. NBA Cup continues this evening. Go Make Plays! Remember we are "NOT JUST FANTS"!
