It’s kinda crazy that we laser-focus our gratitude for Veterans on just one day a year
when their service has literally made every day of American history possible.
THANK YOU
“For some kids and families,” he said, “competition is a foreign concept and they feel they are ‘entitled’ to certain things.”
What a friggin quote!!!!! We are all living the same lives 😂😂😂.
This is the idiocy we get from the people who run schools - yes I’m sure the line item breaking the budget is JV and freshmen sports. I bet cutting one of the many useless and unnecessary administrators from the payroll would cover the cost and then some. The problem isn’t a lack of funding. It is never a lack of funding
“Every human being should have to work minimum six months in the service industry… It gives you very valuable perspective on the rest of your life moving forward” -PFT Commenter
“I cannot stand people who are mean to any type of wait staff. You’re just the lowest of low when you do that” -Big Cat
Everyone carries a heavy burden. This man is doing productive work for pay that he needs for bills. This is the husband and father who does unglamorous work daily so that society functions. And there are millions of him. Not surprising at all Americans have rallied around him.
A TV channel interviewed George Mustas, Bob Uecker’s childhood friend and went on to say that Pat Murphy isn’t the only one getting messages from Ueck. I actually got one the other day. I asked:
George: How’s it going up there?
Bob: He said great. I got some good news and some bad news.
George: What’s the good news?
Bob: We play ball everyday up here
George: Well what’s the bad news?
Bob: you’re pitching tomorrow.
I can see why these two were friends for so long. Best thing you’ll watch today.
Powerful moment and a great reminder:
Tell people what they mean to you while you still can. Celebrate them, honor them, thank them. You’ll regret it if you don’t.
Quarterback Alex Smith says his life was completely changed by his experience in rehab with servicemen and women who lost limbs overseas.
Smith says he was bitter about life after suffering a grotesque leg injury.
It wasn't until he rehabbed with military amputees that his mindset completely changed.
"I was very bitter for a long time in my rehab process."
"I got this thing called the Secretary of Defense designation... I got access to military medical care."
Smith says when he looked around at all the servicemen and women who had severe injuries, his outlook completely changed.
"There's like double amputees, there's triple amputees, there's terrible burn victims in there. And nobody's hiding behind their scars."
"... it was like the only place in the world where those guys were egging me on and like goading me to do more..."
"Fast forward 2 years later... come back and lace up cleats again and put on a helmet and go play."
Awesome story.

One day, your child will ask you to play for the last time, and you won’t even realize it.
Don’t miss the little moments. They might become your child’s biggest memories. ❤️
Northwestern University head football coach David Braun is the most recent prominent sports figure to spotlight the failure of legalizing commercialized sports gambling across the country:
"I’m telling you what, I got 11-year-old and 9-year-old boys at home and I am terrified of how addictive gambling is... It’s predatory. It’s messed up what’s going on. You look at 18-25 year old young men out there right now and the predatory nature of this stuff—it’s really scary."
Coaching the average MS/HS athlete how to properly squat 10 years ago was a lot easier than it is today.
I will also throw skipping, hopping, push ups etc.. into the mix.
Its wild how many MS/HS kids have Coordination, mobility restrictions.
We live in an era with skill development being shoved into kids faces 24/7 all while BASIC Physical literacy baselines are not being met.
Then we ask ourselves why injury rates are going up.
Powerful: Browns rookie WR KC Concepcion on why he chooses to talk to the media despite having a stutter.
“I want to be a role model for those who are not able to speak in front of large crowds.”
KC is a true role model ❤️👏
Kids think they have forever. That high school football never ends. When you are a freshman it seems like it will always be there. Now we are 24 hours from the last game of the regular season. They don’t realize how fast it’s over. Never take it for granted.
High school football is a beautiful experience through all of its struggles and all of the peaks and valleys it presents. Cherish the moment.
“Look at what has gotten cheaper in America over the last 25 years: TVs, phones, software, clothes, toys. Now look at what has exploded: college tuition, healthcare, childcare, housing.
What separates the two lists? The first lives in competitive markets. The second is exactly where government is most involved”
Cop killer ambushed Philly police officers killing one. In an attempt to play the insane card the world should know this. After shooting the cops he ran into the alley and called 911 saying the shooter was down. He knew what he was doing. He tried to lure more cops into another trap. This city worker, who was charged with homicide before, knew exactly what he was doing last night.
