Not useless, old saying, or poor excuses. I had a football coach motion me over to the sideline after I missed a block on a blitzing line backer that beheaded our quarterback. Took his helmet off was so bad.
As an offensive tackle, we ran a play that called for me to cut and take someone out, but after the ball was hiked, I made my cut and went after my guy that wasn't there, not picking up the blitzing line backer that pretty much murderized our quarterback.
I trotted over to the sideline and stood right in front of my coach that stood there with his arms crossed, never said a word as I pleaded my case. When I was finsished, he simply asked "Are you finsished" and I said that I was. With that, he simply said "Excuses don't get the job done, never have, never will" and then he benched me for the rest of the game.
For as long as I live, I will never ever forget those words and try to live up to them.
"Excuses don't get the job done, never have, never will"

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
