Whisper Cliff is a story that follows Gary Manning as he climbs the challenging Whisper Cliff on Mount Snowden. During his climb, he meets a strange man named John Burkenset, who saves him from almost falling. John tells Gary that he belongs to a vintage climbing society, getting rid of Gary's idea that he is a mountain ghost. John also introduces Gary to the spirits of climbers who have passed on the mountain, suggesting that they watch over and sometimes intervene in the lives of those who dare to take on the Whisper Cliff.

Lombardi believes that the way any organization of people succeeds, is based on the way each individual worked with another.

He reminded them that he had a dictatorship manner of coaching. He often used metaphors such as “Any two year old child can throw a fit, but football is about controlling that anger” Coach Boone drilled perfection to his team members. They were paired up and forced to discuss family and social issues about each other to promote the knowledge of cultural differences, and most of all, to develop friendships. Coach Boone gave minimal water breaks to enhance discipline. He went to the extreme of awakening the team as early as 3:00am for a morning run through a dark, damp forest.
If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'm gonna take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember forever the night they played the Titans!" This statement reflects his commitment to the team's success and demonstrates leadership
At first, Manning would always lose and was just for fun. After each game Manning loses, his father would say, “Want to try it again?’ he would ask, grinning. He would see my downcast eyes, my reddened, sweating face, and sense my intensity. And with squinting eyes, he would laugh at me, a high laugh, through his
The truth couldn’t be told easily. The mere presence of the redskins made us shake our heads and cluck our tongues in dismay. I couldn’t help. But look at those blimmin’ people, looking down at their bare feet, not knowing what they had done wrong. I had to do something.

When Ryan got in the huddle for the first play he told everybody the play, but he grabbed Billy’s shoulder and told him it was going to you. Ryan threw 5 touchdown that game and he rushed for 3 touchdowns, he passed for 581 yards. He was now the quarterback
Although the Redskins had already blown their perfect season, losing one game during the regular season, many believed they would win the Super Bowl. It didn't look that way, however, as they were facing a fourth and one in the fourth quarter. They didn't want to punt, but the ball was on the Dolphins 43. A field goal was out of the question.
