After turning the radio on Tuesday night, I heard a sports talk show host say, "Everyone's gettin' Cs today." I immediately thought he was referring to a C letter grade and thought, "Hmmm...I wonder which team(s) he's evaluating and why he considers the players so-so." As I listened longer, I realized he was referring to multiple players who had been named team captains.
That made sense--and I was glad to hear the host praising excellence instead of harping on mediocrity.
