Mike in “Unfinished Business”

Mike

Hey, Mike Baxter here for Outdoor Man, talking about winners and losers, not to be confused with right and wrong. Now, would it be nice if doing the right thing and winning was always, went hand in hand? It would also be nice if ice cream got you ripped. But I know you're winners. You know how I know? Because you're listening to me. Sometimes, we can spot a winner pretty quickly, like in 40 seconds if it's Conor McGregor coming at you across The Octagon. Look out, Cowboy. Or sometimes, we might need overtime to crown a champ. And sometimes, we'll never find out who won. Welcome to Iowa caucus. "Uh, I forgot how to count.". You know, they say history is written by the winners, but it's really written by historians. And before we call them winners, one of them should have to go out and get a girlfriend. Speaking of history, Roman philosopher Seneca once said, "Admire those who attempt great things even though they fail.". Another philosopher, Green Bay Packer Vince Lombardi said, "Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.". Hmm. Seneca won more debates, but Lombardi won more championships. Now, sometimes, as Americans, our obsession with winning and losing can make us lose sight of what's right and wrong. I'm talking to you, Houston Astros. As Marcus Aurelius said, "If it's not right, don't do it. If it's not true, don't say it.". And that, my friends, is the truth. Just saying. Baxter out.
