The straightforward hardwork was what I liked. But Joey D, Joe Dumars, was the guy I could respect. Laimbeer, Mahorn, and the later-phases of Rodman. I liked the hustle, but was turned off by the loudmouths and arrogance of much of the team. *It was also the Bad Boys era of the Detroit Pistons. I’m not still on the inside with it, but it’s still my team. I, like everyone involved, am hugely disappointed by the way things started out. I believe in what the Affordable Care Act is trying to do. Busting your ass and coming up short is better than not trying at all. I had my fair share of encounters with lousy parents (not mine, the parents of teammates), but the good lessons weren’t lost on me. Sometimes the lessons that good people try to teach through sports get clouded by lousy parents. This was the wound Lebron James reopened when he went chasing his ring to Miami. Luckily the city fought and was able to keep the name from leaving. When he took away the city’s team, it was the ultimate betrayal. Detroit had grown weary of the Lions losing, but Cleveland bled orange. Then I went to school in Cleveland right as Art Modell was packing up the city’s beloved Browns to move to Baltimore. He could have gone anywhere, but he was willing to lose out on a championship ring because it was more important to stay true to his team. I never really cared about football, but growing up outside of Detroit, admiration for that humble, dedicated man was everywhere.
WORKFLOWY COLORS PROFESSIONAL
One of the greatest running backs of all time, he started his professional career playing for the Detroit Lions and ended it there. At the time*, Barry Sanders was in the prime of his career. As an art kid I didn’t care for the extremes of a jock-oriented environment. As a 6'5" eighth grader I defied expectations as a lousy basketball player. Both schools took sports very seriously were routine champions.

Maybe it comes from my elementary and high schools. We need to make the things that need making. Where we know it’ll be hard, maybe painful, and we do it anyway. We need to be willing to jump into situations where the results are not guaranteed. That needs to include big, imperfect things that can get better over time, not just manageable, perfect, elegant little things. We make things because we believe they should exist in the world. I did the best work of my career, much of it internal stuff the public won’t ever see. It’s a big, messy problem and an imperfect solution, but it matters and will change peoples lives. I’m proud to have been a part of it because it matters. Not because it came out perfectly, which it certainly did not. There are many, many things critics can say about, and I have plenty of my own concerns.īut despite all this, I am proud to have been a part of it. Whenever you pour your heart and soul into something, and it doesn’t turn out how you intended it, it is very hard.

Going back through the massive Workflowy outline I keep of in-progress writing pieces that I never quite publish, I found a piece I started writing back in Decemeber 2013 as a talk submission when the wounds of were still raw. The problems with the launch last October are well trod territory. I started working on two years ago in late August 2012.
