I reread this every year.
I cry like a baby every year.
Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.
Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.
Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?
Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.
Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.
Lisa: Are you okay?
Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.
Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?
Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.
Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.
Lisa: I promise.
Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.
Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)
Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.
Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.
Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.
Lisa: What are you going to do?
Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.
Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.
Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

2002 NCAA Finals: Down 11 in the third, Rob Rohn (Lehigh) hits a reverse cement mixer and pins Josh Lambrecht (Oklahoma) with 15 seconds left.
Anything can happen in March.

I respect his decision not to play. This is a bad look for Tarik Skubal. You chose not to play, dude. You left the team. You don't get to do all the cool stuff now. You're out. Team USA in the World Baseball Classic moved on without you. Get out of here. Go back to the Detroit Tigers.

Been at ESPN a long time - this one was an all timer. Before social media, it was as viral as a story can be. I watched it on a tape in the news room. I couldn’t stop watching his teammates.

1/ Meet Numan Ramzan. He runs a scam call center out of Lahore, Pakistan.
His employees tried to scam me…but instead of paying them money, I hacked their computers and his live CCTV cameras.

I don’t follow hockey, but this had me tearing up. They brought their teammate’s (who was killed by a drunk driver) kids out onto the ice with their dad’s jersey to celebrate the moment. 🥹

“You have three older brothers that now look up to you. You will always be our champion.”
As Haley Winn gets ready for @TeamUSA’s gold medal game against Canada, her brothers, Casey, Ryan and Tommy, leave their sister an encouraging and heartwarming voicemail. ❤️

15 things to do with your father while he is still alive. I lost mine 8 years ago.
1. Ask him what he was like at your age because once he was the same age you are right now & Watch his face light up as he tells you stories from when he was younger
2. Record his laugh when he tells one of his signature jokes. Someday you will replay the video over and over just to hear it again
3. Ask him about the proudest moment of his life. (Odds are he will say when you were born)
4. Ask him his favourite songs
Listen to them together, laugh, sing and be happy. These will become your most cherished memories in years to come
5. Take a picture of him doing something he loves. Watching tv, gardening, playing the guitar, anything. When you look back these will be the pictures that will make you smile the most
6. Tell him you love him even if it's something you don't normally do.
7. Tell him you are proud to be his son/daughter This will mean more to him than you realise (even if he doesn't show it)
8. Listen to music from his youth and watch him turn from dad into a young man again
9. Take a short video of him talking about something random sacred Someday even the ordinary things he said become
10. Bring up something you are thankful for from years ago
11. Ask him what it was like for him growing up
12. Call him for no reason
Don't take being able to do this for granted.
Someday you would give anything to hear his voice again.
13. Take a picture of just the 2 of you together
14. Ask him to show you an old photo of him because seeing him young will remind you that he wasn't always Dad
15. Tell him something you are struggling with, no matter what age you are Because even when your grown it means the world to him to feel like he can still help
Let him give you advice, even if you don't need it because one day you will give anything to hear his voice guiding you again

2007: HBD to @EliManning who turns 45 & @TyreeNation who turns 46. It would make sense that these 2 would share a birthday as they are forever linked in NFL history w/ the helmet catch in Super Bowl XLII in #NYGiants game winning drive to beat the undefeated Pats

26 weapons grade parenting tips:
1/ Give them a "heads up," 5 minutes until bedtime, 10 minutes before leaving the playground
2/ Look at the world more through their eyes
3/ Don’t discipline like an angry madman. Stay calm and firm, model how you want THEM to resolve conflict
4/ Let them argue their case respectfully. Teaches negotiation and critical thinking
5/ Skip the long lectures
6/ Use natural consequences: forgot homework? Let them explain it to the teacher. Forgot their lunch? They'll figure it out
7/ Be consistent and follow through. "We are leaving the playground if you don't stop..."
8/ Make "How can I help?" part of YOUR vocabulary. It builds reliability
9/ Share your unseen efforts: hustling for work, hitting the gym. Actions speak louder than words but when they can’t see it, TELL THEM
10/ Teach accountability by modeling it yourself: “I was wrong. sorry”
11/ Create family traditions like weekly movie nights, Sunday pancakes, whatever works
12/ More game nights
13/ Take an interest in their interests: video games, books, sports... do it with them.
14/ Hike together. Nature slows time and generates gratitude
15/ Build something. LEGO, puzzles, a fort, the Amazon delivery box
16/ Teach them skills: tie knots, start a fire, read a map
17/ Introduce chess or checkers. Start early
18/ Let them plan a family outing or navigate you there (they can get you through the airport)
19/ Always greet your wife with love. That moment sets the tone for the family
20/ Share some challenges (age appropriate)
21/ Respect their privacy. Knock before entering their room
22/ Teach the value of money early: "wants vs. needs," compounding, saving, etc
23/ Let them see you sweat
24/ Teach them to cook. Start small: eggs, pancakes, cookies. Embrace the mess
25/ No screens at meals ever
26/ Prioritize movement as a UNIT: family walks, workouts, hikes, dance-offs- whatever gets the everyone in synch

The texts between Conan, Will Arnett, and Jason Bateman are hilarious. Conan lost both of his parents and somehow joking about Bateman killing them is so dark and yet such a sweet way to help a friend grieve.
