One of Shakespeare’s most famous quotes came from one of his most famous plays, Hamlet. “This above all: to thine own self be true.”
In the scene, where this quote was used, a dad is giving his son advice. He provided a host of great tips. But of them all, the most important one, the one that stands all others is: “To thine own self be true.”

With the Super Bowl upon us, we thought we’d discuss how to recover your fumbles and keep moving toward the end zone. One of the most famous fumbles ever occurred on September 10, 1978 in a game between the Oakland Raiders and the San Diego Chargers. It has become known as “the holy roller”.
