This is awesome: Offensive lineman Ethan Lawson announced his commitment to WVU by burning a couch while “Take Me Home, Country Roads” played in the background.

One of the best commitment videos we've ever seen.

🔥🔥🔥

There is truly no better experience than watching the culmination of a dogged pursuit of excellence. Seeing actual mastery is incredible.

@v8splashhhh @shannonsharpeee He did not. He took 4 of them out of the cooler and immediately put them back. When he was trying to leave they were convinced he had one in his hoodie pocket. What they were seeing was actually a pistol he had in there. He grabbed his bag and left and they chased after him

This is how fortunes change.

[Coach John @Sauce_MacKenzie]

Every successful HS coach needs a strong right hand man that will be loyal to him & never undermine him. If you look at some of the best programs, they have loyal, smart Number 2 guys. WHO DONT WANT TO BETRAY THE HC. Too many assistant coaches with personal agendas

NFL practice squad players earn $234K a year to never play a game. Brady says a lot of them prefer it that way.

$13,000 a week. Same facilities, same planes, same meals as the active roster. Super Bowl ring if the team wins. And zero risk of failing on national television. Brady watched this for 20 years and realized many practice squad players had already reached the exact outcome they wanted.

The active roster pays $840,000 minimum, three and a half times more. But it comes with something most people underestimate: public, measurable, weekly accountability. Drop a pass in the fourth quarter and 70,000 people watched it happen. When practice squad players got promoted into that pressure, they crumbled. Same arms, same legs, same speed. Their talent survived the jump. Their appetite for judgment didn't.

The $606,000 gap between practice squad and active roster is the annual price of pressure-avoidance. Enough NFL players pay it voluntarily that a seven-time Super Bowl champion noticed a pattern.

Every evaluation system on earth measures people when nothing is on the line.

What a damn game.

Poor pitcher knew it as soon as he heard the ping of the bat.

Oh look what I found @KathyHochul, it’s footage of Donald Trump and Marla Maples at the 1994 NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and Houston Rockets.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

This is fantastic, @realDonaldTrump at the 1994 NBA Finals — Knicks-Rockets — wishing Marv Albert a happy birthday live on NBC.

@BarrettSallee Citing the “wellbeing” of athletes is certainly a choice……

“If I was Governor I would have vetoed the Riley Gaines Act”

Georgia Democrat running for Governor, Keisha Lance Bottoms, wants boys to compete with the girls.

GA, VOTE like your daughter's future depends on it. Because it does

[Greg Price @greg_price11]

Reporter: "What do you say to President Trump saying he's a lifelong Knicks fan?"

Hochul: “I’d ask him to name the starting lineup of the 1993 Championship team and see how he does."

The last time the Knicks won a championship was 1973.

@Noah_ram1 Alumni or former athlete aside, his daughter was HBP 5 times. To me that overrides any sort of school ties.

More details on Virginia Tech’s plan to create a new LLC to manage athletics revenue generation.

An AD, who works for the school, will manage traditional athletics duties like hiring and overseeing coaches and teams.

The CEO of the new LLC will focus on revenue generation.

@ClayTravis Keith Jackson is first. It’s only a question of who’s 2nd
