HEARTBREAKING: A father who lost his son on 9/11 is desperately searching for his hat after losing it at the #Steelers game in Tampa Bay this week.
Patrick Siewak says his hat flew off near the escalators and was picked up by another fan.
The hat contains a special 9/11 memorial pin honoring his late son.
He is offering a reward for its return.
Please help spread the word and reunite this father with something that means so much to him.
💔🙏

Chili's run is remarkable. But what's also notable about it all is how simple it really is. If you're a restaurant company, and you want some inspiration, just look at what they did.
Chili's formula is basically this: Ditch the gimmicks. Focus on unit economics. Simplify and improve the menu. Improve operations. Back it all up with strong marketing.
The company focused on a few key menu items and upgraded their quality. It spent money to fix issues in the restaurants and worked to improve the quality of in-store operations. It got rid of those dumb robot servers.
The CEO, Kevin Hochman, is one of the country's best marketing minds, and he brought in a CMO in George Felix who knows what he's doing. They took advantage of consumer frustration over prices and got a bit lucky with the cheese pull trend on social.
Because the company did all that work on operations, its stores were ready when all those customers came in. And they keep coming back. It is comping positive on insanely positive numbers right now.
Chili's 4-year stacked comps are 50%. By comparison, Wingstop, which also had an amazing run a couple of years ago, is up 34.1% over that same period after its sales started falling. It's tough to keep those sales when they boom like that.
Can everybody do this? No, because a lot of companies are overleveraged or they're franchised and refuse to make the kind of investments required for such a strategy. But the formula is honestly there. And there are chains following the same one, such as Burger King. $EAT
Is there disappointment from that loss to Belgium last night? Yes
Are we left wanting more for the next 4 years? Yes
What is not being talked about enough is how fun this ride was. My 3 young kids are now huge USA soccer fans. The USMNT are heroes to them.
Thx Team USA! 🇺🇸 🙏

During one of the worst losing streaks of my career, our team president walked into my office.
Keli McGregor. One of the best men I've ever known.
He could have come to vent. To question my decisions. To ask hard questions.
Instead, he said: "Cut to the chase, Clint. What's next?"
I looked him in the eye and gave him two words: "Shower well."
The Colorado Rockies were struggling badly that year.
Pregame preparation was solid. Scout meetings, early work, attention to detail. All of it was there.
But at game time, the tires were flat.
I told Keli: the game did everything it could to us today. We just couldn't meet its demands.
Now it was time to reset.
"Shower well" means exactly this:
• Watch the frustration circle down the drain
• Shampoo, rinse, repeat and get the grime of today completely off your mind
• Walk out clean, go home, and actually rest
Leave it at the ballpark. The game is over. There's nothing left to solve tonight.
Keli nodded. Asked if he could share it with the whole organization.
I said sure. And then it hit me. This isn't just for baseball.
Bad day at the office. Grumpy boss. Missed deadline. Traffic on the way home.
You can carry all of that through your front door.
Or you can shower well.
I've never seen a single problem get better because someone dragged it home with them.
The reset is a discipline. Same as preparation. Same as showing up.
Either we win. Or we learn.
The only real loss? When you don't take a single thing out of a hard day.
So tonight, whatever kind of day it was, shower well.
Tomorrow is a new at-bat.
What does your reset look like? I'd love to hear it.
Best Team Wins! 💪 🌶️
