The only people who get upset about you setting boundaries are the ones who were benefiting from you having none.

In every job, this is true!

Nothing with your job in sports is worth missing a moment like this with your kids or family. It took me far too long to realize that. The game will go on whether you’re there or not. Someone else can do your job that day. These are the moments you don’t get back.

never ask a question you don’t know the answer to

Holy shit! This is fucking gold!

[Kevin DeShazo @KevinDeShazo]

Hot take:

Coaches can’t say things like “how you do anything is how you do everything” or “excellence is the standard” and do things like this. The standard isn’t just about work, it’s about life/family.

Related: sleeping in the office won’t make you/your team better.

@LinacreMedia @Hirsch_Tweets and this take is from a guy who stands to probably grow his business from this new change, but is still willing to share his thoughts

The perfect ending for Justin Verlander.

His daughter runs out to the mound and he walks off with his family.

Feels like a movie.

"My father Michael Massaroli...you do my dad's legacy and the legacy of all these victims no honor by using this tragedy to spread hate. We have seen a medley of people come up today, of all races, all religions, all creeds and this tragedy is just that, it's a tragedy. I've had to grow up and spend the past 25 years seeing people use it to hate on our Muslim brothers and sisters, to hate on people who don't look like them. That's wrong. That does no honor to the victims here...please stop."

President George W. Bush standing at Ground Zero in New York City following the September 11 Attacks. “I can hear you.”

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

On the morning of September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush was visiting an elementary school classroom in Sarasota, Fla., when his chief of staff, Andrew Card, informed him that America was under attack.

Card revisits the Emma E. Booker Elementary School with @MajorCBS, and talks about a singular moment, captured in an iconic photograph.

A 9/12 story, beautifully capture in this piece and on the stage in @wecomefromaway. Catch it if you can!

[CBS Sunday Morning 🌞 @CBSSunday]

The small town of Gander in the Canadian province of Newfoundland saw its population virtually double when U.S. airspace was closed on 9/11, grounding 38 international flights on an island in the Atlantic Ocean.

For five days, Newfoundlanders gave shelter and comfort to 7,000 stranded passengers and crew members. @conorknighton talks with Newfoundlanders who volunteered during the emergency, whose generosity to the "plane people" inspired the Broadway musical @wecomefromaway.

Why am I just seeing this now? This might be the greatest MLB X account interaction. A lot of screenshots but definitely worth your time. Follow along in the thread below because this might be the best thing you’ll see on here all week.

I wonder if these two are married or still together.
