This is totally non-auto related, but I do love football. I am big Jet's fan and have been since the days of Joe Namath (giving away my age, right?). Anyway, would like hear from other football fans out there; predications, thoughts?

My team (Green Bay) has went down as well as my second choice Arizona(I like Curt Warner). Of the remaining teams I will root for Indianapolis since I am in Indiana although I like the NFC better. Joe, I too am old enough to remember Joe Namath. You have suffered a long time. Maybe this will be your year. If I were betting I would probably pick San Diego.

Jets fans are used to suffering. My son who lives in L.A. is actually going to the game.

 

As a Jet fan my favorite expression is..."There's always next year"

 

We will see...

Since you are a Jets fan I hope the Jets win. Do you root for the Giants any? I have never been a New York fan except for the old time Yankees (Mantle and Maris) and the Knicks (Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe). The reason I say I would pick San Diego is it just seems that San Diego is really hot. They may actually win the whole thing.

How about those Jets! Congratulations Joe! I guess you know I have to root against you next week! Go Colts and Peyton!

Grew up a Bills fan and then moved to TN in 1996 and became a Titan's fan when they came to TN. Love watching football. Was very glad to see the Vikings kill the Cowboys (my most hated team).

I agree with you on the Cowboys and I like the Titans as well. I would hate to be the Chargers Place Kicker.

Joe, I am sorry that your Jets lost but I am glad the Colts won (I am in Indiana after all). The Jets played well but Manning was just too much in the end. My prediction now is the Colts will win the Super Bowl. The Vikings should have won but how can you with 5 turn overs.

Jet fans are too used to dissapointment, but I was really praying this year. With a rookie QB and Coach it would have been hard. Manning is just too good. He picked apart the Jets like they were a high school team.

 

The Colts should go all the way.

I have to say I am going to be a Colt's fan for the superbowl. Go Colts.

 

I am pleased that the Colts are in the Super Bowl and New Orleans. I was rooting for Favre and he should have been there but NO fans have suffered for a long time so I am happy for them. My greatest joy is that there are no Steelers, Patriots, or Cowboys. No offense to anyone who roots for those teams but those are teams that I am not fond of.

I felt bad for Farve. He got beat up pretty bad, but hung in there. He is one tough SOB. They should have won that game.

Been a vikings fan since I was a kid, that was a really tough loss, the vikes beat themselves for the most part. Hats off to the Saints for getting at Farve, he was pretty beat up. I was really looking forward to a Manning vs Farve superbowl, 2 of the all time greats in a championship!! I'll be cheering for the Saints as they have never been to a bowl game......but IMO Manning is just too smart of a qb for them to handle. Should be a great game.

Congratulations to the Saints. They have been door mats for many years but no longer. They deserved to win. Sorry Peyton but the interception and the first half dropped pass were the game.

I was happy to see the Saints win. It's their first ever win and they are a great team. It was a good game.

      It always amazes me when I hear about a technician who quits one repair shop to go work at another shop for less money. I know you have heard of this too, and you’ve probably asked yourself, “Can this be true? And Why?” The answer rests within the culture of the company. More specifically, the boss, manager, or a toxic work environment literally pushed the technician out the door.
      While money and benefits tend to attract people to a company, it won’t keep them there. When a technician begins to look over the fence for greener grass, that is usually a sign that something is wrong within the workplace. It also means that his or her heart is probably already gone. If the issue is not resolved, no amount of money will keep that technician for the long term. The heart is always the first to leave. The last thing that leaves is the technician’s toolbox.
      Shop owners: Focus more on employee retention than acquisition. This is not to say that you should not be constantly recruiting. You should. What it does means is that once you hire someone, your job isn’t over, that’s when it begins. Get to know your technicians. Build strong relationships. Have frequent one-on-ones. Engage in meaningful conversation. Find what truly motivates your technicians. You may be surprised that while money is a motivator, it’s usually not the prime motivator.
      One last thing; the cost of technician turnover can be financially devastating. It also affects shop morale. Do all you can to create a workplace where technicians feel they are respected, recognized, and know that their work contributes to the overall success of the company. This will lead to improved morale and team spirit. Remember, when you see a technician’s toolbox rolling out of the bay on its way to another shop, the heart was most likely gone long before that.

      As a former shop owner turned business coach, this is a topic that I see often: A shop takes the time to establish their true labor rate, and in many cases, raises their labor rate significantly.  While they get a short-term boost in labor profit, the long-term results are mediocre, at best. Why?
      One of the reasons is that the cost of doing of business has also increased, along with payrolls, and in many cases, at a faster rate then the rising labor rates. And then there is the issue with poor productivity. 
      Has this happen to you and what are your strategies to maintain needed profits?
