@Tim_Walz KAMALA SAYS: Project 2025 is the project that started out as an idea then morphed into a project. To imagine a project in 2025 is to project an idea next year.

🚨 David Beckham on Cristiano Ronaldo declaring himself the GOAT:

🗣️Reporter: “David, Cristiano Ronaldo has called himself the greatest footballer of all time, placing himself above Pelé, Maradona and Lionel Messi. What is your reaction?”

🎙️David Beckham:

“Honestly, I can't believe he has said that. I respect Cristiano, and nobody can deny what he has achieved in football, but placing yourself above Pelé, Maradona and Messi as if there is no debate whatsoever? That's a very bold statement.

“Let's be fair. If someone tells me Pelé is the greatest, I can understand the argument. If someone says Maradona is the greatest, I can understand that too. Those two men changed football in their own ways, and comparing players across different generations will always lead to disagreements.

Even if you leave the debate at Pelé and Maradona, it's still arguable. But when you bring Lionel Messi into the conversation, the argument becomes even more difficult to ignore.

“Look at what Messi has done. The goals, the assists, the dribbling, the playmaking, the trophies and the way he controls an entire match. He can score like a striker, create like a midfielder and make defenders look helpless without even needing to score.

And then he won the World Cup. At that point, what more are we supposed to ignore?

“I played alongside Cristiano at Manchester United, so I know how competitive he is. He always wanted to be the best, and that mentality helped him achieve extraordinary things. But sometimes, I think his confidence crosses into arrogance.

“There's a difference between believing you're the greatest and expecting everyone else to agree with you. Football is not a personal award that you give yourself. Your performances, achievements and influence are what build your legacy.

“And that's one of the reasons I wanted Messi at Inter Miami. I wanted a player whose greatness didn't need a long explanation. You watch Messi play for five minutes, and you understand why generations of football fans consider him the best.

“Cristiano has an incredible goalscoring record. His Champions League achievements and longevity deserve enormous respect. But the GOAT debate is about more than goals and individual records.

Messi has the individual brilliance, the collective achievements, the playmaking ability and the World Cup. When you put all those things together, his case becomes incredibly difficult to match.

“So, Cristiano can call himself the GOAT if that's what he believes. That's his right. But he cannot expect the football world to simply accept it because he said it.

Pelé versus Maradona is a debate. Pelé versus Messi is a debate. Maradona versus Messi is a debate. But when you consider everything Messi has accomplished, he makes the argument for anyone else being the undisputed greatest much harder to sustain.

“You don't become the king of football by announcing it. You leave the world with enough evidence to make people call you one.”

@Bernache_X Just compare Ronaldo in 2022 World Cup at 37 to Messi in 2026 at 39. Enough said…

Vrabes & Efton 🤣

@budlight | @EftonChism

[the Sports ON Tap @thesportsontap]

An undrafted receiver made it all the way to the Super Bowl in February.

One hour before kickoff they told him he was not dressing.

Today he won a game in Buffalo with one hand.

His name is Efton Chism III. He is from Monroe, Washington, and he is 5 foot 11.

His father is a Marine Corps veteran. His mother and his older sister are both educators. He is the third Efton Lynn Chism in his family.

The man who trained him from about the sixth grade was Michael Bumpus, a former Seattle Seahawks receiver who ended up as the head coach at Monroe High School.

"Efton was the type of kid who did whatever you asked and went above and beyond," Bumpus said.

He left Monroe as the school's all time leader in catches and receiving touchdowns. Almost nobody in Division I wanted him anyway.

So he stayed home and went to Eastern Washington, in a town called Cheney, where the field is red.

Then he had one of the great careers in FCS history. 346 catches. 3,852 yards. 37 touchdowns. He caught a pass in 53 straight games, which no player in FCS football has ever done. In 2024 he caught 120 passes in a season and broke Cooper Kupp's school record.

His college coach Aaron Best described him in one line.

"He's who you want your daughter to marry. He's who you want your quarterback to throw the ball to on third down."

In 2025 he went undrafted. All seven rounds, 257 picks, nobody called.

The New England Patriots signed him anyway and he made the roster.

His position coach Todd Downing noticed one thing immediately.

"Tenacious work ethic. He's in my office every morning at 6 a.m. He beats a lot of coaches there."

Six in the morning. As an undrafted rookie who could be cut any Tuesday.

He returned kicks that season. On offense he caught three passes the entire year.

And then New England went to the Super Bowl.

He got to the stadium. He went through the whole week. He was there.

About an hour before kickoff they listed him inactive. The roster was full when a veteran receiver came back from injury.

He stood on that sideline in street clothes and watched Seattle win it 29 to 13.

Now today, in Buffalo.

Fourth quarter. 1:55 on the clock. New England down by five.

Drake Maye threw it deep right and Efton Chism III reached out and caught it with one hand for 23 yards and a touchdown.

That was the game.

Be honest about the size of it. One catch does not erase standing in a suit while your team plays for a championship. He is still a role player, and he will probably be returning kicks again next Sunday.

But a man who was told he was not needed on the biggest day of his life kept showing up at six in the morning anyway.

Today the ball came to him with the game on the line, slightly out of reach.

He got one hand on it.

🇺🇸 TURN IT UP, AMERICA. 🇺🇸

The liberals are already losing their minds over LAKE AMERICA… so naturally, it needed its own summer anthem.

And here it is — the FIRST song about Lake America.

Boats. Cold beer. Sunshine. Freedom. Beautiful women. Red, white, and blue. This thing sounds like summer in America turned all the way up.

Liberals, don’t be shy. Roll the windows down and crank it up, baby.

You’re gonna LOVE this one. 😂🇺🇸

LAKE AMERICA! 🔥

ENES KANTER FREEDOM just dropped pure truth on Fox News.

Freedom is not free. It comes with sacrifice.

He hasn’t seen his family in almost 14 years.

Got cut from the NBA at 29.

Lost nearly $50 million.

Arrest warrants. Death threats. Cut off.

And he’s still standing.

Now he’s going after the WNBA for the same reason he went after China, Turkey, Iran, and every other regime that stomps on human rights:

Biological men do not belong in women’s sports. Period.

He called Sophie Cunningham exactly what she is:
“An American hero.”

She’s taking heat for saying the quiet part out loud: 
protect young girls from competing against and sharing locker rooms with biological males. 70% of Americans agree. Common sense isn’t left or right.

Enes’ message to every silent WNBA player:

Stand up. Parents need to stand up. This isn’t complicated.

He runs basketball camps and sits kids down on the court to talk about how fragile freedom is. How blessed we are in America. How many of them are being brainwashed by TikTok.

He once told teammates complaining about America: 
“When the season ends I’ll buy you first-class tickets to China, Russia, Iran, Turkey, North Korea. Your family would be jailed for half the things you say here.”

The WNBA has no idea what’s coming.

Enes Kanter Freedom has already paid the price.

He’s not backing down.

God’s work. No regrets.
