Total Information Am Weekend

In this edition of Three Good Things, Scott Jagow reflects on what an incredible football catch can teach us about human behavior. From NFL players dropping the ball before crossing the goal line — as seen in the Rams-Colts and Cardinals-Titans games — to the psychology behind those mistakes, Michigan professor Daniel Weisman explains how our brains can short-circuit under excitement. Jagow ties these sports moments to insights from George Carlin, Robert Greene, and poet John Keats, showing how embracing uncertainty and humility can lead to deeper understanding, curiosity, and compassion.
