Great Expectations | Jaguars Blog
Expectations are often the difference between happiness and disappointment. Say your friend tells you "the food at this new restaurant is mind-blowingly amazing!" You may be more likely to believe the food at that restaurant will be some sort of transcendent experience. You make reservations at the restaurant based on your friend’s recommendation. When you try the food, it’s pretty good, but you wouldn’t describe it as amazing. You feel disappointed…wasn’t this supposed to be a ridiculously amazing, life-changing bonanza of flavor in your mouth? If you had gone to the restaurant without your friend’s description in mind, would you have appreciated the food more? Absolutely.

Coming home
This was one wake-up call Mike Sims-Walker didn’t mind a bit. This was early Tuesday, a day after Sims-Walker had been released by the St. Louis Rams. His cell phone rang, and he saw the 904 area code. He then saw the next three digits and knew: the Jaguars were calling. He didn’t let it go to voice mail.
