CHARLOTTE
Chicago Blackhawks
Jersey , N.C. -- Ron Rivera will win a Super Bowl with the Carolina
Panthers.
Why? Because Mike Ditka says he will.
Ditka made the
proclamation last Friday at the Charlotte Touchdown Club after being introduced
by Rivera, who played and coached for the Hall of Fame coach with the Chicago
Bears.
Rivera told me late last season as the Panthers were making a
playoff run that Ditka had the single-biggest impact on his coaching career.
Ditka told the packed room at The Westin that Rivera was a smart and natural
leader.
Call it their own mutual admiration society.

coming off a 12-4 season.When Charlotte Observer columnist Tom Sorensen asked
Ditka why Rivera would win a Super Bowl, he said because Rivera "understands
that life is a process of setting goals and reaching goals and resetting
goals.''
"You have to have goals and you have to have methods to reach
those goals,'' Ditka continued. "I mean, you just can't say, 'We're gonna win
the Super Bowl!' How are you going to do it?''
Rivera's answer would be a
lot like Ditka Blackhawks Jersey ,
who won Super Bowls as a player, assistant coach and head coach, did -- with
great defense and ball control offense.
Rivera understands that formula
because he was a part of Chicago's 1985 Super Bowl team that completed an 18-1
season with a 46-10 victory over the New England Patriots.
"One thing I
try to do with our players, I never ask them to do something I was never able to
do as a player,'' Rivera told me last season. "I got that from Coach Ditka. He
used to always ask us to do what he used to as a player. Some of the [expletive]
he did was unbelievable, but he asked.
"One thing he told me was to know
your abilities and play to your strengths. He used to tell me that all the time.
He knew I wasn't a blazer Steve
Larmer Jersey , but he knew I was smart, physical and I played with
my hands and had some good, natural feel for the game.''
Rivera's first
speech as the head coach of the Panthers in 2011 came from something he heard
from Ditka when he was a rookie linebacker with the Bears in 1984.
"I've
got good news and bad news,'' Rivera recalled Ditka saying. "The good news is
we're going to the Super Bowl. The bad news is not all of us are going to be
with us.''
It was a reminder that making an NFL roster is hard and that
it takes hard work to win a Super Bowl.
Like Ditka, Rivera is a player's
coach. He's always walking through the locker room talking to players and
observing them to keep a pulse on the team.
Ditka was much the same.
Rivera shared a story at the Touchdown Club about how one night in training camp
a few players snuck out after curfew to go to the VFW for beer and
pool.
As they prepared to pay for a round, Rivera said the waitress told
them not to worry Stan
Mikita Jersey , that Ditka already had paid.
He said Ditka
then walked over with a beer and shot some pool, not once jumping on them for
being out after curfew. He said Ditka didn't jump on them the next day at
practice, either, simply saying if they were going to "hoot with the owls, they
better fly with the eagles.''
The players flew during the entire
practice, not wanting to let the coach down.
Rivera has created the type
of atmosphere at Carolina where players respect him and don't want to let him
down. He was able to create it because of what he learned from Ditka.
And
that is why Ditka believes Rivera will win a Super Bowl with the Panthers.People
sell their hos due to a number of reasons. So people want to relocate to so
other ple Sheldon
Brookbank Jersey , others want to live in a bigger house and a few
prefer to live in a smaller house and so on. Cases can be many but for people
who have to sell their house speedily they are supposed to e to so sort of
agreent with the buyer. Below written are so negotiating ttics to be followed
Selling a house does not involve only the buyerIt is important for you as a
seller to municate with the buyer and convince him but if you think that only
convincing the buyer is important then you are wrong. You ould also negotiate
with the real estate agent; by making him understand your point of view
regarding the sale you are half way done. Actually when a buyer purchases your
house he also takes advice from an agent, in that case it bees essential for you
to have both of them taken into confidence. If all three of you are having the
sa understanding about the deal the entire process will be done fortably.A
seller’s psychology is that the buyer ould be provided so viable reasons so that
he will purchase the house. On the other side he can think of wooing the real
estate agent by offering him so extra mission to make his deal a suess with in a
small ti fra. A realtor can ple his house at the top priority. Paying extra
mission is frightening but considering the ft that you will get a good worth for
your house makes this idea considerable.For owners who are selling a house due
to the risk of foreclosure it is better to call their bank officials and talk to
the concerned authority; explain them the entire condition. You ould tell them
that you have missed so paynts and wi to redeem all funds by selling your house.
Most tis foreclosure is put on hold in such cases, thus allowing you so ti so
that you can sell your ho and pay the rest of the loan bk to the bank including
the interest. A simple thing that needs to be understood is that if they allow
you to sell your house as owner it will bee easy for them to get money from you
instead of a foreclosure.Don’t set dead linesSetting deadlines will make the
potential buyer to think that you are having so issues and you want money as
soon as possible this will make him to offer lesser amount.
