TONIGHT's Topic: "Recovering From Blunders!"
"On October 25th, 1964, in an NFL game of the Minnesota Vikings against the San Fransisco 49'ers, Defensive End for the Vikings Jim Marshall recovered a fumble and ran 66 yards to the end zone. The problem was, that it was in the wrong direction.
To make matters worse, in a moment of celebration, he tossed aside the football resulting in an out-of-bounds safety for the 49ers, putting points on the scoreboard for the opposing team.
Though many would have just walked away in defeat at that moment, Jim Marshall stayed in the game, even to the point of assisting with a forced fumble that resulted in a touchdown for his team.
The Vikings, though embarrassed by one of the greatest gaffes in NFL history, still won the game, 27-22!
As veterans and even as ordinary persons, we need to know how to recover from blunders and turn them around to become victories, just as Jim Marshall did in 1964. Jim went on to become known as the Greatest Iron Man in the NFL and still holds records that are in place to this day. So how do we turn our blunders into victories?" — Air Force Veteran Steven Bates
