The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world. And they are not handling it well. In the best possible way. Here is what they are discovering: Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time. Free water at every restaurant. Just appears. Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited. Free chips and salsa before you even order. Free warm bread with dinner. Ice in drinks like civilized people. Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact. Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going. Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it. Ranch dressing by the gallon. Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced. Dental care that actually works. Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s. Then they found the grocery stores. Five of them within one mile. Each one the size of an aircraft hangar. Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday. The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes. In silence. Processing. They finally understand why we do not have trains. We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive. Parking lots the size of small European countries. Airports in every city worth visiting. Why would we need trains. The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle. The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak. The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre. The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas. Welcome to America! The greatest country on earth.

THIS WOULD HAVE CHANGED EVERYTHING… The #Dolphins planned on signing legendary quarterback Drew Brees in 2006, but team doctors failed his physical due to concerns about his shoulder. As a result, Miami passed on Brees and Nick Saban left the #NFL one year later to become Alabama’s head coach. Dolphins doctors gave him a 25% chance of ever playing again, prompting the team to sign Daunte Culpepper. If Brees had signed with the Dolphins, Miami may have finally found its franchise quarterback and become a legitimate Super Bowl contender for the next decade. Meanwhile, the #Saints never land Brees, which means New Orleans may never win Super Bowl XLIV or experience the greatest era in franchise history. And perhaps most incredibly, Nick Saban likely stays in Miami. No Saban at Alabama could mean no six national championships, no dynasty, and a completely different college football landscape. One failed physical may have changed the history of the NFL and college football forever.

Most people see the result. Very few understand the obsession it takes to get there.

Harbaugh sat out 3 games for buying the kid a burger during a Covid dead period, this kid is sitting 2 games for betting almost 100K on the sport he actively participates in. It’s a slap in the face to everyone, including UM….

Bill Cowher shares the 3 things he told his 3 daughters - and his 53 players. "Number one - choices and consequences." "You can control your choice. But once you make a choice, it controls you...Just understand - with every decision you make, there's a consequence that goes with that." Your choices and actions matter. "Number two - it's about the people you surround yourself with." "Are they people that are purpose-driven? Or are they people that are just trying to feed off of who you are?" "I want people around me that are purpose-driven. People focused on doing something impactful and meaningful." "And the third thing - nothing good happens after midnight. Nothing." Three rules. A lifetime of wisdom. Your choices control you. Your circle defines you. Your habits protect you. (🎥Ray Lewis Show: @raylewis)
Bill Cowher had three daughters at home and 53 boys at work. He told them all the same three pieces of advice. The same rules. Different jerseys. Here's what he told them: (📌Bookmark this)

1. Texas coach Steve Sarkisian: We could beat Texas Tech's schedule with ours twos and threes. 2. TTU coach Joey McGuire: We'd love to play Texas. 3. TTU Booster Cody Campbell: We'll pay the buyout for both team's Week 1 opponents so Texas Tech and Texas can play. Your move, Texas ...

Great post
I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony. But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing. Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it. Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me. Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping. Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie. I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me. Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work. I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today. Start now.

Watching the @NBA All Star game and @TeamUSA at the Winter Olympics, it’s clear that sports — just like music and art — still has the power to bring us together, build community, and remind us of our common humanity.
