Ben Herbert followed Jim Harbaugh from the University of Michigan to the San Diego Chargers,  just months after winning College Football’s national championship.

With Herbert comes a reputation as being one of the best strength and conditioning coaches in all of sports.

 In Herbert’s introductory press conference as Executive Director of Player Performance he said that no two people, even experts in his field, see training the same way.  He also made his perspective clear.

“My first goal is to make you harder to break,” said Herbert. “People often may say training we're gonna break, we're gonna break you down and build you up. My goal is not to break you, my goal is to make you harder to break.”

He goes about that by focusing on strengthening the areas around the most vulnerable parts of an athlete's body: the neck and head. 

“You have to be proactive at training those areas of the body,” continued Herbert. “So the neck work that I introduced today, the trap work, the 4-part cuff sequence to address the 4 rotator cuff muscles in their shoulder girdle, introduced them to some hip work, introduced them to some ankle work, right? These are things that are paramount if you want to make a football player harder to break, your training has to be sound.”

Herbert is known for his intense attention to detail. He stresses consistency… He defines that as showing up and doing all you can with what you have. He not only applies this to training but the things you train with. He says how you treat those things applies to your performance on the field.

“We had 2 and a half pound plates we used today and when they put those plates back, they put them back a certain way,” said Herbert. “Every plate says rogue at the top of the plate, every rogue is perfectly square. Doesn't matter if it's the second plate or the tenth plate, it goes back precisely. No different than a DB's eyes or his footwork or an offensive lineman's feet or his hand placement. Like ways we practic..

00:00:00 NPR CEO Katherine Maher is called to testify before Congress regarding allegations of political and ideological bias at NPR, and the lack of viewpoint diversity within the organization.

00:01:32 Uri Berliner Article - Discussion of the Uri Berliner Free Press article, which raised concerns about the absence of viewpoint diversity at NPR and alleged promotion of strident left-wing views to the exclusion of alternative viewpoints.

00:03:37 Hunter Biden Laptop Story - Examination of NPR's coverage of the Hunter Biden laptop story, addressing the lack of attention to the story and the subsequent implications of the coverage decisions.

00:06:46 Truth and Beliefs - Exploration of NPR CEO Katherine Maher's TED Talk on balancing truth and beliefs, and the concept of minimum viable truth, sparking concerns about the approach to truth and common ground in news reporting.

00:17:20 Congressional Hearing and Bias Allegations - Review of the Oversight and Investigation Subcommittee's request for information from NPR, focusing on the lack of political viewpoint diversity at NPR and the organization's strategies for recruiting individuals with non-left-leaning viewpoints.

The House Energy & Commerce Committee is summoning the head of NPR before Congress to answer accusations the outlet has a left-wing bias despite receiving federal funds.

"The Committee has concerns about the direction in which NPR may be headed under past and present leadership. As a taxpayer funded, public radio organization, NPR should focus on fair and objective news reporting that both considers and reflects the views of the larger U.S. population and not just a niche audience," Committee Chairwoman Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., wrote to NPR CEO Katherine Maher.

She led Morgan Griffith, R-Va., chair of the subcommittee on oversight, and Bob Latta, R-Ohio, chair of the subcommittee on communications and technology, in asking Maher to publicly testify before Griffith’s panel next week.

Media mogul Rupert Murdoch, aged 92, has announced plans to marry 67-year-old Russian molecular biologist Elena Zhukova.

Murdoch, a prominent figure in the media landscape, notably as the owner of Fox TV, Fox News, and Fox Sports, is expected to tie the knot at a luxurious vineyard in California this summer.

His romantic journey is the stuff of novels and tabloids:

* At 25, Murdoch married Patricia Booker, with the union ending after 11 years.

* He then wed Anna Murdoch Mann, their marriage lasting 32 years until their 1999 divorce.

* Wendi Deng became his third wife at 68, 17 days after his divorce from Anna; they separated in 2013.

* His most recent marriage was to Jerry Hall at 85, with the couple divorcing two years ago.

Despite being more than double the age of myself or the average groom, Murdoch's decision to marry again prompts reflection on the enduring pursuit of love and companionship.

As I ponder this I’m taken back to a heartbroken— barhouse talk with his old friend. He told me “When you love, you risk. Without risk — why you breathin’?”

Why do we work at all? That question was one of the central concepts in a recent episode of the Federalist Radio Hour called "Finding Purpose In Modern Work.”

When asked why we work… Author David Bahnsen… .that we should do a better job understanding economically what work is…

“One of the things we have to do a better job of is just understanding economically what work is,” said Bahnsen. “When someone says it's a futile endeavor, it's meaningless. It's not doing anything. I get that it can feel that way.”

“It can feel mundane,” continues Bahnsen. “It is categorically untrue, though. There's anybody out there paying you to do something that's meaningless. It may be tedious to you, but it is serving some purpose in the value creation process. We produce goods and services that meet the needs of humanity or we don't get paid. And I believe that some people may say, okay, well, I'm just sitting here putting widgets in a box and on one level I would say, okay, you might be helping a million people right now.

He argues that all work serves the needs of humanity.

“But I am suggesting that all work is meaningful there,” said Bahnsen. “All work is serving the needs of humanity at one level or another, and where somebody wishes they had a different opportunity, I think they need to start with where their skills are. The person who says, I have an office job, I get paid pretty well, I go to work, I do my deal.”

For humans, he says, knowing we’re good at our work is often paramount.

“When people compliment us all the time, pay us, give us bonuses, give us promotions,” continued Bahnsen. “You know, when you're good at something, you end up loving it. And I think that that has got to be the focus as opposed to something a little bit more romantic.”

Well, I can’t help but be romantic about the ways I spend most of my days. Even though it often leads to disappointment.

You can find Bahnsen’s book "Full-Time: Work and the Meaning of Life,"

I've gone through a transformation in recent years. I've come to realize that saying “I don't know” is a good thing. I look around at the world and feel that most of our problems come from the certainty and loathing of those who disagree.

At one point, honestly for a long time, I was an atheist. I felt confident that I knew all that was and all the rules that governed life were based on what we know from science books. And I scorned many people who thought I was wrong.

But today, I can't say that.

A growing number of Americans are with me; a survey from Pew claims about 28 percent of Americans have no religious affiliation, but most of those same people believe in God or another higher power, whether they go to church or not.

They’re divided on religion. Most of us aren’t against religion but think there are pros and cons about it and “reject the idea that science can explain everything.”

I can’t speak for them, but I know I can’t completely leave it behind.

Maybe it's my upbringing. My mother has undying faith.

She had us spend much of our Sundays, Mondays, and any other day she could squeeze in a Black Baptist-ish, Church of Christ church right across from a jail in the center of town.

To this day she says that church saved our lives. She was right. They did.

We needed them. And these flawed, faith-driven people's generosity knew no end. They lifted us up when all we had was the scraps on our backs.

While I can’t guarantee devotion to their inspiration, I’ll remain open to possibilities.

I owe them at least that.

On that note, I’m James Brown, and as always, be well.
