Open-minded people seek to learn by asking questions; they realize how little they know in relation to what there is to know and recognize that they might be wrong; they are thrilled to be around people who know more than they do because it represents an opportunity to learn something. #principleoftheday

Hi everyone! For my #lovesportscasting #inthebooth PxP peeps - trying to help a friend out and looking to find coverage for a hockey broadcast for 11/21 at 7pm.
I have an earlier assignment at Quinnipiac but there's no way for me to get to the night game in time). If you're interested, my DMs are open. Yes, you have to have some hockey PxP experience.

An important reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“It doesn't make sense to continue wanting something if you're not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don't want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”

42 years ago tonight, a boy named Daniel Larusso was brutally attacked by a gang of masked thugs.
Two months and one illegal crane kick later, young Daniel would exact his revenge with the help of a maintenance man from Okinawa.
Please remember the true meaning of Halloween.
This is true about most everything in life. It is easy for us to see and desire the result.
But to consistently act with focus, persistence, and desire… especially when no one is watching… is the difficult part.
This paragraph by Kobe Bryant hits hard:
“Everyone wants to be a beast. Everyone wants to be the best. But very few people are willing to do what it actually takes. Because what it takes is boring. It is waking up at 4:00 AM. It is shooting the same shot a thousand times. It is watching the film when you are tired. People fall in love with the result, but they hate the process. You have to fall in love with the boredom. You have to fall in love with the repetition. If you can find joy in the mundane work that no one else sees, the lights will eventually shine on you.”

Inheritance is what you leave for people.
Legacy is what you leave in them.
Most of us spend a lifetime building things to hand down — money, property, a plan.
Far less time goes into what actually stays with people after we're gone.
One is inheritance.
The other is legacy.
They're not the same thing, and only one of them takes real intention to build.
Seems pretty reasonable that in about a decade if one wants to actually drive their car they’ll have to pay a premium to do so, because it is less safe to themselves and others.
And one could reasonably assume that major interstate highways will require full self driving tech.
FSD could literally free up OVER $1.5 trillion/yr... WHY isn't anyone talking about this??
If Lawmakers were serious about serving the people, they would start focusing on how to speed up FSD adoption.
The Data:
Fatal & serious crashes cost the U.S. almost $2 trillion per year in total societal harm; including ~$400 billion in direct economic costs in the form of:
- medical bills
- property damage
- lost wages
- enormous quality-of-life cost of lost years
- permanent disability
Tesla’s latest FSD data shows vehicles with FSD engaged are ~9× SAFER than the average driver.
That means, if fully adopted, FSD could produce savings the size of any one of these:
- ~6% of GDP
- The entire Social Security program
- Medicare AND Medicaid
- Roughly 2× the defense budget
At this scale, FSD (and technologies like it) could be one of the first real steps toward an age of AI "abundance" people talk about.
50 years from now, our children and grandchildren will look back in horror at the fact that we ever drove at all.

For Ueck. 💙
@Brewers Hall of Famer Robin Yount pays tribute to the legendary Frick Award-winning broadcaster Bob Uecker. #WorldSeries
Very well said, Bishop Barron. Baseball is a wonderful metaphor for life. You fail more than you succeed. However, teamwork leads to success. And those that remain positive while failing are the ones who can ultimately adjust, adapt and succeed.
I have a soft place in my heart for WATR in Waterbury, New York. I broadcast news and sports there in 2024, including some high school football play-by-play. It was a pleasure to learn from the great Bob Sagendorf and the entire team at WATR. They were awesome people!
Awesome news about our buddy, Ethan!
👏❤️🙏
I wanted to provide an update on Ethan WIlson. And I have some good news to report. metsinsider.mlblogs.com/upda…

Be extremely intentional with your friendships — not acquaintances, not business partners, actual friends
Try to pick high-integrity people — the right people
Invest time in those relationships
Cut or downgrade folks who are transactional or who don’t show up for you
Reallocate that time and energy to the right people who do
It's ok to be cutthroat about this, as life is the memories you create with your friends and family.
Invest in making moments.

They left out @MetsBooth doing PA at the Fordham football game yesterday!
Article is incomplete 😂
👏👏👏
Thanks @MikeVacc for the pour. Although after a 6 am wakeup to get over here for the Giants today, I'm starting to think maybe Howie was onto something.

Friends, as Catholics, we have received an invitation from God the Father to come to the wedding banquet of his Son—to come to Mass and to share in the divine life.
And yet we know, through so many studies on church attendance, that countless Catholics say no to this invitation. This is the central tragedy of the spiritual life: receiving the invitation of the king and saying no.
Say yes this weekend. Go to Mass!
