Pep, you beautiful genius:

A good leader knows how/when to delegate…

Perhaps it might seem strange to some people to praise the player who decided not to take the decisive free kick. What those people might not understand is that De Bruyne, by choosing to step away, was absolutely taking responsibility. In the process, he was also demonstrating why he had the captain’s armband on his sleeve.

Deferring to Mahrez highlighted De Bruyne’s other special quality – he is a selfless superstar

Don’t be fooled – the Super League clubs gambled everything and they blew it

About life outside of work...

Little known thing about me: I take my fun very seriously!

The past year, living through this global pandemic, has definitely had its ups and downs. In these difficult times, I’m incredibly grateful to have found my place as part of a few wonderful online communities.

I’m proud to have recreated this sense of “life outside of work”, making new friends along the way!

To illustrate this point, I now have a regular spot on a weekly podcast, discussing all things Manchester City Football Club.

Feel free to watch this latest episode and share any feedback — I’m always keen to engage with fellow sports fans: ⚽️🏉🏈🏀⚾️🏒🏎 — or to discover what everyone has focused on OUTSIDE of work since Covid (or prior to that!)

The NHL is almost back so here’s a good opportunity to share one of my favorite things of all time: watching hockey games in Canadian French

It makes sense considering the history but I didn’t know it was possible until I discovered it last year!

Perfect end of a two weeks-long holiday:

⚽️ #CHEMCI at 5:30pm.
🏈 #Ravens at Bengals at 7pm.
🍝 Lasagna dinner at 8pm.
🏉 #ASMR92 at 9pm.
😴 Sleep at 11pm.

I’m a simple and happy man!

Me, a @WashWizards fan: “Aww man, I feel sad that the Wiz traded John Wall, even for Russ”

My wife (a Maryland native and formerly living in DC) who turned me into a Wizards fan: “Well, they couldn’t win anything for 10 years, so maybe the change is good…”
