My best friend's nephew, Jackson Gardner, was in a terrible accident & is in critical condition. He's got a wife, young baby & one on the way. They're an amazing family who need help.

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.

“I know it sounds crazy, but sometimes the best way to lead a football team is to get them to not focus on football for a moment. To get focused on who they are as a person and that they can make a difference."
Anyone who has gotten to know Kalani Sitake loves him. He's the rare blend of someone you'd want to babysit your kids AND have your back in a barfight.
Good story on him from @chriskamrani: https://t.co/GDdEs3Vr0T
I love @AJ_Dybantsa. The @BYUMBB frosh is a future @NBA star. But most important player on this team is Ore-Ida spokesman, Richie Saunders. He’s much more than a great shooter, but still fun to highlight what that jumper looks like. @coach_paint
We came up just short in the championship game. But it was a great week and experience! Thanks for the shout out to Cooper @AJ_Dybantsa He's excited to watch @BYUMBB dominate this year!
@AJ_Dybantsa@LittleLeague This kid is a stud and a tremendous athlete. He used to wear a LeBron James jersey every day but Sunday and even then I think I saw it underneath his white shirt and tie one week.
Love that he is cheering on the next big thing.
