Coaches Hot Seat Quotes of the Day – Thursday, October 11, 2012 – Ayn Rand
“A creative man is motivated by the desire to achieve, not by the desire to beat others.”
And
“A desire presupposes the possibility of action to achieve it; action presupposes a goal which is worth achieving.”
And
“Achievement of your happiness is the only moral purpose of your life, and that happiness, not pain or mindless self-indulgence, is the proof of your moral integrity, since it is the proof and the result of your loyalty to the achievement of your values.”
And
“Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice.”
And
“From the smallest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from one attribute of man – the function of his reasoning mind.”
And
“Happiness is that state of consciousness which proceeds from the achievement of one’s values.”
And
“I swear, by my life and my love of it, that I will never live for the sake of another man, nor ask another man to live for mine.”
And
“Man’s unique reward, however, is that while animals survive by adjusting themselves to their background, man survives by adjusting his background to himself.”
And
“Money demands that you sell, not your weakness to men’s stupidity, but your talent to their reason.”
And
“Money is only a tool. It will take you wherever you wish, but it will not replace you as the driver.”
And
“People create their own questions because they are afraid to look straight. All you have to do is look straight and see the road, and when you see it, don’t sit looking at it – walk.”
And
“The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.”
And
“The purpose of morality is to teach you, not to suffer and die, but to enjoy yourself and live.”
And
“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.”
And
“The truth is not for all men, but only for those who seek it.”
And
“There are two sides to every issue: one side is right and the other is wrong, but the middle is always evil.”
And
“Throughout the centuries there were men who took first steps down new roads armed with nothing but their own vision. Their goals differed, but they all had this in common: that the step was first, the road new, the vision unborrowed, and the response they received–hatred. The great creators–the thinkers, the artists, the scientists, the inventors–stood alone against the men of their time. Every great new thought was opposed. Every great new invention was denounced. The first motor was considered foolish. The first airplane was considered impossible. The power loom was considered vicious. Anesthesia was considered sinful. But the men of unborrowed vision went ahead. They fought, they suffered and they paid. But they won.” Ayn Rand, Howard Roark in The Fountainhead, 1943
And
“To achieve, you need thought. You have to know what you are doing and that’s real power.”
And
“To say “I love you” one must first be able to say the “I.”"
Dan Wetzel of Yahoo! Sports has been all over the Jerry Sandusky story from the start but especially when the story moved into the courtroom in Bellefonte, Pennsylvania and Wetzel’s latest delivers a direct blow to Sandusky and his very sick outlook on the world which most like most delusional pathological liars places Jerry Sandusky at the very center of everything with everyone else being the ones that are wrong.
Since the Jerry Sandusky story broke in the Fall of 2011 we have been very interested in getting the take on Jerry Sandusky by who we jokingly call the “cheap parlor trick Man” who is none other than a Coaches Hot Seat member that can to an accuracy of 100 percent tell if a person is lying, deceiving, hiding or about any other Damn emotion known to Man and Woman and he learned this skill in his past in the employment of OUR Government and like most patriotic Americans this guy isn’t interested in telling us the actual techniques he uses or what he did with those techniques while in the service of OUR country which is fine with us just as long as he checks out our wives at the CHS dinner parties and gauges their reactions when we casually ask them if they have been shopping lately for any big ticket items!
Turning to a more far serious and evil subject meaning Jerry Sandusky we asked our good friend to watch, listen and read Sandusky’s handful of statements to the press and the court over the past year and what our good friend came up with is very troubling indeed and something he did not want us to publish until Sandusky was removed from society for the rest of his natural life by the court which happened on Tuesday with Sandusky effectively getting a life sentence in jail.
CHS Member on Jerry Sandusky which is HIS opinion:
“It is somewhat difficult to remove my bias in the case of Jerry Sandusky since I have read about the case and the testimonies of so many of these young boys that were molested by Sandusky over the years but as I peel back my own biases to look at Jerry Sandusky as just a man I see a very dangerous person who is able to justify in his own mind the molesting of what I would guess is dozens if not more children over the years as just another part of the “great” life that Jerry Sandusky has lived.
Even if someone ever did get Sandusky to admit that “OK, I molested those children,” I still believe he would think it was OK that he did it because Jerry Sandusky in his own mind is someone that can do no wrong. There are lots of people in the world that can justify in their own minds doing small things that are wrong that they knew were wrong before they did them, but very few people can do something wrong and not feel at least some pain of guilt about their actions and that feeling guilty about doing something wrong is deeply imbedded in the DNA of most humans and in many ways reveals that you are indeed a human being and separate from a wild animal that except for the higher primates like monkeys and some chimps are not really able to discern between an action being right or wrong.
In many ways Jerry Sandusky is just like a Hitler who justified in his mind that the killing millions of people was OK….to Hitler…because killing those millions was part of Hitler’s goal to build a world empire with Germany at the top and all other countries answering to Hitler from below and when one gets their brain into that frame of mind there is really nothing they will not do to achieve their goals or to satisfy their needs, passions and wants even slaughtering millions of their fellow human beings or molesting dozens if not hundreds of young kids.
At the core of a Jerry Sandusky and Hitler is a kind of selfishness taken to the most extreme that can justify ANY action because it is THEY that are doing it so it must be OK at least in their very twisted minds.
Consider Japanese Emperor Hirohito who in the aftermath of Germany’s surrender to the Allies in May 1945 and with the Allies warning to Japan of…
“prompt and utter destruction”
..of their country if they did not immediately surrender as well that Emperor Hirohito ignored complexly which led to the United States dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945 and Nagasaki on August 9, 1945 which killed and estimated 150,000 plus Japanese at a time when even Hirohito knew that continuing the war with the Allies was useless and yet Hirohito allowed those 150,000 Japanese to perish because in his own twisted mind their deaths were a sacrifice for a “greater good” with that “greater good” being serving what was nothing less than EVIL incarnate on Earth in Hirohito.
To just say Jerry Sandusky is EVIL is to misunderstand what Jerry Sandusky really is….
Jerry Sandusky as are all human beings that molest young boys or murder our fellow citizens is a segment of the human population that takes Narcissism to an extreme level where the person, Sandusky in this case, is at the center of the entire Universe with everything around them existing only as entertainment and to serve the person at the center and if there are things that the narcissist does that might cross the line or even break the law those things can be easily justified by the narcissist because the only thing that matters is that the narcissist is always right and everyone else is always wrong and even when there is clear and direct evidence from a dozen or more sources that a person did EVIL acts in the mind of the narcissist it is and will always be the other people that were in the wrong and who only misunderstood the person at the center of the Universe and what he was trying to accomplish in “his life.”
Having a large ego is one thing and most assuredly most well known and successful football coaches have had large egos, Joe Paterno certainly comes to mind because Joe did have a large ego, but the jump from having a large ego and being a BIG narcissist that places themselves at the center of the Universe especially when that narcissist is able to justify what is nothing less than very evil acts makes that person a very dangerous person and unfortunately there are untold other humans just like Jerry Sandusky in America and around the world in the human population and that is why human beings should always be on guard against anything that even “feels” wrong and most certainly Sandusky’s actions over the years would have sent out clear signals that something was terribly wrong to lots of people that evidently did nothing to stop this monster.
Jerry Sandusky is evil and he believes he is good and thus if only for a millisecond that Sandusky’s actions caused him to think that maybe molesting young boys was wrong it was quickly glossed over with a belief that Jerry Sandusky could do no wrong and thus molesting one, dozens or even hundreds of children was OK and since there was no one in the Penn State community that has the ability to see that evil or the guts to do something about it and thus Jerry Sandusky was able to commit evil acts for over a decade in and around the Penn State campus with almost no one saying a word.”
Whether Edmund Burke actually said it or not it is TRUE:
“All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.”
In our opinion Good and some Very Bad Men “did nothing” and thus allowed Jerry Sandusky to molest young boys for over a decade at least and those Good and some Very Bad Men….at least the one’s that are still alive…know exactly who they are…..and we know exactly who they are to.
Although we may not have the insight of our good friend we must say that on Jerry Sandusky…
We could not agree more
…and as for the Penn State Administration over the past decade plus when Jerry Sandusky was molesting these young kids both on and around the Penn State campus and was a major fixture at Penn State football games, practices, events, etc., and even attending in the President’s box at Beaver Stadium a football game the week before he was arrested last Fall it is our opinion as American Citizens that the…
Penn State Administration
…over the last decade plus was filled with some of the Sorriest Human Beings to ever set foot on the North American Continent in the last 1000 years.
PERIOD.
Post Week 6 Jeff Sagarin NCAA Football Ratings
On to amore enjoyable subject as we take a look at what we consider to be the BEST computer ranking of college football teams with that being Jeff Sagarin’s ratings at USA Today…
Now we rank the above Top 25 Teams according to their Sagarin Schedule Strength ranking among the 246 teams that play in Divisions FBS (I-A) and FCS (Division I-AA) with their Overall Ranking in parenthesis besides the Schedule Strength Ranking:
What does Sagarin’s Schedule Strength Ranking mean exactly?
That Michigan played and got BEAT by Alabama and Notre Dame
That Florida has played and BEATEN Texas A&M, Tennessee and LSU
That Stanford and Notre Dame have played roughly equal teams with the ONLY difference being that Stanford has played and BEATEN a team among Sagarin’s Top 20 Teams: USC
That the Big 12 may be even STRONGER than people think
That the ACC may be even WEAKER than people think
That BOTH the SEC and Big 12 have 6 Teams in Sagarin’s Top 25 Ranking
That Alabama really hasn’t played anyone yet
That Florida State and Kansas State have to date played the easiest schedules among the top teams in the country and even then FSU has 1 loss!
That with the Big Ten being so weak Ohio State has a chance to finish at 12 – 0 which brings new meaning to the Complete Idiocy of former OSU head coach Jim Tressel LYING to the media and the world in December 2010 about what he KNEW FULL WELL were his players breaking NCAA rules and if Tressel had just told the TRUTH from the start and immediately suspended those OSU players the Ohio State Buckeyes would be eligible for the Big Ten and National Championships THIS YEAR!
Ohio State is right now 6 – 0 and have this schedule left..
At Indiana Purdue At Penn State Illinois At Wisconsin Michigan
…and there has to be a better than 50 – 50 chance that they finish the regular season unbeaten and thus if they were NOT on NCAA probation they would be playing in the Big Ten Championship Game and have a good shot at playing for the National Title.
ALL Ohio State fans should keep that in mind when they think of Jim “LYING” Tressel who just flat-out LIED to EVERYONE in the below press conference that cost the school he professed to care about BIG TIME and may very well cost Ohio State a shot at Big Ten and National Titles in 2012.
YOU LIED JIM and YOUR LIES may very well cost Ohio State Football a shot at the Big Ten Championship and National Championship in 2012!
PERIOD.
How does that make you feel Jim?
OR
Are you like Jerry Sandusky Jim and in that December 2010 press conference could LIE to the world about the NCAA violations that YOU KNEW FULL WELL your Ohio State players had committed but you still LIED and COVERED-UP in order to do what Jim?
Win a Sugar Bowl?
Please, is there someone that can explain to us how Akron University could be employing Jim Tressel right now?
Of course, maybe worse than Jim Tressel LYING to the world about the NCAA violations that he KNEW FULL WELL that his players committed and covered-up so they could play in the Sugar Bowl was the disgraceful press conference by Ohio State president E. Gordon Gee in March 2011 when Gee said that…
“I am just hopeful the coach doesn’t dismiss me.”
What a Damn and Complete DISGRACE E. Gordon Gee is in our opinion to the Ohio State University, to Higher Education in America and to the United States of America and its People and please is there someone that can explain to us how in the Hell that…
E. Gordon Gee is still employed at the Ohio State University?
