Despite the 7-9 record, they were still head strong in winning. A lot of folks felt they should have just lost to the St. Louis Rams to get a higher draft pick, but they weren't having any of it. They don't play to lose. They play to win. It wasn't in their culture, that they were building, to just lay down to anyone. I think this goes with businesses, as well. It's important to build a culture that wants to win -- that's wants to succeed. More likely than not, it'll find a way to get there. Go Seahawks!

It goes to show, there are always people, companies, teams, and situations that we can draw inspiration from. Another observation I'd add to the list is that a team that has fun together enjoys the wins more and handles the losses better. It's been a long time since I've seen the Seahawks having this much fun and I'm sure that contributed to the Saints win and will help them get over today's loss. In sports and in startups, that kind of chemistry can make all the difference. Great observations Andy.
