What is Gophers coach P.J. Fleck’s new tattoo? And why it means so much to him

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:04:41 GMT

The Gophers offense didn’t reveal much during a few open practices in training camp, but if you were able to look close enough in those brief August moments, P.J. Fleck shared something special to him.When the head coach wore shorts, his usual summer practice attire, it exposed a new tattoo on one of his tanned, athletically toned calves. Vertical ink running downward to his Achilles tendon now reads: “This too shall pass.”The famous phrase has been attributed to the Bible, and while faith is intertwined in its meaning, those words are not written there in that way. One popular claim is to an ancient Jewish folktale, and President Abraham Lincoln was a fan of the saying, via that origin story.“It is said an Eastern monarch (King Solomon) once charged his wise men to invent him a sentence, to be ever in view, and which should be true and appropriate in all times and situations,” Lincoln said in closing a speech in Wisconsin in 1859. “They presented him the words: ‘And this, too, shal...

MARYLAND HEIGHTS, Mo. - The St. Louis Blues crown Brayden Schenn as the 24th captain in franchise history. Schenn becomes the first Blues captain since the team moved their previous one, Ryan O'Reilly, at last year's trade deadline. Although the NHL does not require every team to have a captain, they are oftentimes tasked with pivotal leadership roles. That includes building camaraderie as locker room leader, serving as a franchise face, and consulting with coaches and referees as a key voice. 200 WINS! Adam Wainwright caps career with long-awaited milestone Generally speaking, the captain’s honor is one a team awards to a player with hopes they will lead for the long haul. Schenn was an obvious choice as the longest-tenured Blues forward and one of few pieces remaining from the 2019 Stanley Cup run. He also has five years remaining on his long-term deal.
