​Sir Winston Churchill “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”New York Giants head coach John Harbaugh is a Winston Churchill admirer. In trying to make a point during his Monday call with New York media, Harbaugh was reaching to recall that Churchill quote as the coach was describing the positive attitude of quarterback Jameis Winston.Here is the full quote from Harbaugh about Winston:“It’s awesome. I mean, it’s how important is it for a person? I mean, it’s the best thing to be around, and it’s genuine. I mean, he’s a very strong faith person. He’s a very strong Christian. He is a very good guy. He works extremely hard. He’s very motivated. He’s an unbelievable competitor. He’s tough as can be. He’s a fighter, and he just doesn’t let adversity get him down. He understands. It’s like (former NBA player) Michael Jordan or (16th President of the United States) Abraham Lincoln or all the different stories you’ve heard. It’s not how many times you get knocked down, it’s how many times you get back up. You need to be plus-one in the get up category. And that’s exactly what he does every single day of his life, I would say.“And that’s why people like him are always successful. I mean, most successful people are optimists. Didn’t (former Prime Minister of the United Kingdom Winston) Churchill say that he knew a lot of successful people in his life. He knew a lot of pessimists in his life. And none of the successful people were the pessimists. Are you aware of that quote? It’s along those lines.”Why do I bring this up? Because Harbaugh, Winston and the Giants are trying each week to be the optimists in a difficult situation. They have lost their quarterback, Jaxson Dart, for the season. Yet, they have gone 2-0-1 since. They have lost their defensive leader, Brian Burns, for the season. Yet, players like Abdul Carter, Arvell Reese, Jevon Holland and Tae Banks have stepped up to help the Giants go without a loss in their last three games.Some want to belittle the NFC East, throwing around the ‘NFC Least’ moniker with the long-downtrodden Giants leading the division while the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys lose winnable games, and the Washington Commanders embarrass themselves.The Giants, though, are trying to play the role of the optimistic opportunist in the midst of the NFC East chaos. The Giants have commissioned ‘1-0’ t-shirts you often see Harbaugh and the players wearing. The idea, of course, is to just focus on going 1-0 every week despite the chaos of the division, the players who aren’t and won’t be there to help, and even the daily disruption of the construction at the Giants’ facility that has players lockering, showering, and lifting in temporary quarters in a parking lot once reserved for staff and media.In the middle of ‘crazy-town’Even Sunday against the Commanders, the pessimist would say the Giants
