Rubbing Elbows… They understand the value of association. Thanksgiving. What a great week to celebrate family and all that it can mean to our success. Sibling rivalry can be rough; it can be outgrown; it can be laughed about years later – and it can be a tremendous motivator towards Greatness. A few weeks ago, I spent some time catching up with the First Family of Football: Archie Manning and his sons...

Not Just About the Benjamins…” They don’t play just for the money. As any baseball player, statistician, or fan will tell you, it’s no small feat to pitch a no-hitter and it’s even rarer to pitch a perfect game.

Former Major League Baseball player I wasn’t sure I’d ever do a book, but now I am glad I did. Don Yaeger made the experience a lot less challenging than I thought it would have been.

Former NFL player for the Baltimore Ravens I chose Don because of the kind of people he had worked with before. When I saw that Walter Payton had trusted him to be his writer, I knew I could trust him, too.

Former NFL player for the Tennessee Titans Don Yaeger didn’t just work with my father on his book, he in some ways became a part of our family. I am still in touch with him all the time because I trust him. We’ve even called him in recent years when we just needed some media advice. He definitely has our best interests in mind.

ESPN analyst & long-time NFL head coach I enjoy telling stories. Don made doing this book like sitting at the dinner table and just moving from one story to the next. He came in and replaced another writer we had hired and he didn’t miss a beat.
