Happy 93rd birthday to the Pittsburgh Steelers!

Continuing my annual tradition on this date to post the greatest NFL Films intro ever made.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.?

Because we gave them that L in 1776.

Pennsylvania has declared INDEPENDENCE from Great Britain.

Pennsylvania is the fourth colony to unilaterally declare itself as independent from the crown.

@1059thex You hung up on me once for this point about Tomlin, but that wasn't even what I was trying to say! Haha

“A man who carries his son to Church, carries a generation to Christ”

FACT: Data suggests that a father's regular attendance at Mass is the most significant factor in whether children continue practicing their faith as adults, with studies indicating that roughly 60% to 75% of children stay engaged when their father is a regular attender.

Practicing Catholic dads leading their families to Christ and Heaven.

This is the patriarchal leadership we need to save our Families and America 🇺🇸

Friendly reminder: The goal is not to be impressive for a moment. The goal is to be reliable over time. In work, in friendship, in marriage, in life. Nobody cares about your best day. They care about your average day. Who you are then is who you are. And that's all that matters.

Major cheat code for life: Be patient with yourself when you’re trying to become someone you’ve never been. You’ll feel lost, unsure, and tempted to quit. Don't. Change feels chaotic because your old self is fighting for survival. Expect it to be a battle. But also expect to win.

#Texans coach DeMeco Ryans and the #Steelers chain operator shared an extremely wholesome moment together at the end of the playoff game.

The man has been doing this job for 50 years now and Ryans took time to thank him.

@JoshYohe_PGH It is a night that is forever etched in my mind. Watched it from behind the bar at Shales. So unbelievable to see him on the ice again.

I’d argue the age range of 35-45 is one of the most taxing mentally.

- Your parents’ age begins to show
- Friends groups splinters as some have kids, some don’t
- Careers hit hiccups or strides
- People you know die unexpectedly due to health issues
- Friends develop substance or drinking issues

I’ve noticed a general frustration in many people in this age range. They describe a pressure and overwhelming sense that things feel off or just harder.

It’s not to say all of this will happen to someone in that era, but it’s when these things tend to play out.

[Next Gen Stats @NextGenStats]

Steelers LB Payton Wilson reached a top speed of 22.48 mph on his chase-down tackle of Jordan Addison, the fastest speed by a linebacker in the NGS era (since 2016).

Wilson's tackle ran 61 seconds of clock that helped the Steelers seal a win in Dublin.

[Pope Leo XIV @Pontifex]

Humility is really freedom from ourselves. Those who exalt themselves think that nothing is more interesting than themselves. Yet, those who know they are precious in God’s eyes have greater things of which to boast, and a dignity that shines on its own. #GospelOfTheDay (Lk 14:1,7-14)

[Pascal @KnowsPascal]

You only change, you do not escape penance. For it cannot be that the wicked shall go unpunished. He who is not punished here of his own will, shall be punished elsewhere without end.
