Don't know why, but the #HooverDam flag that was supposed to be up until July 6th was taken down this evening just before hundreds of people arrived to see it. The lights are still worth it, but Dad the glad was taken down. #July4th
💯BYU is the only power conference team (ever) to go 11-1 and be ranked lower than #8 headed into championship game weekend, so the CFP Committee / ESPN did them dirty well before today's game. -- Further, how about the disrespect for the B12 and its teams; one team only? Really?
BYU lost twice to the #4 team in the country. Texas Tech is a GREAT team. BYU should still be in the College Football Playoff at 11-2 with the 2 best losses of any team in the country. 11 win teams shouldn’t be punished for the result of the Conference Championship game. Period.
There are going to be at least three 10-2 Power 4 teams that miss the cut tonight.
But also ... 11-1 BYU?
These guys get no love despite:
-- No. 6 strength of record
-- Wins over 10-2 Utah and at 9-3 Arizona
-- The one loss to 11-1 T Tech
Much respect for @AaronRodgers12 for giving the most objective (yet optimistic) spin on this whole thing. I've been so impressed with his leadership, positive attitude, and kindness in a really tough situation. -- Best wishes for a full and quick recovery!
“We need a spark, but I feel for Zach Wilson. I love Zach. He’s such a great kid, & I do think he still has a bright future in the league. This has been a tough go for all of us. A lot of times in these situations, there’s certain guys they gotta scapegoat, & I think there’s enough blame to go around a number of different positions. This was obviously not the way any of us thought this was gonna go down. It was gonna be me & my show, & Zach getting to learn & watch it firsthand & not have the pressure to go out there & play, so obviously this is disappointing. I have some personal guilt around the whole thing. I’m pissed that I wasn’t able to play & frustrated that if I was out there & I feel like I’d be playing well there would be obviously different narratives around our team, & Zach would again have the opportunity to learn & grow & see what it looks like without the pressure on & be able to sit in those meeting & go through the season & just kind of watch me & my process, so I’m disappointed & sad about that, but it is what it is, it’s the situation, & we’re all gonna support Tim Boyle & move forward, but we’re also gonna put our arms around Zach & love on him, cause he’s a great kid & it’s not all his fault. This is the way it goes sometimes.”- Aaron Rodgers
#Jets | 🎥 @PatMcAfeeShow
@Saint_Nicolas_@OptimisticJets FYI, the Jets have the second-worst pass block win rate in the NFL. Time-to-pass is a result of the QB holding the ball while scrambling, often due to a busted pocket.
@NFLNotify@NextGenStats This stat doesn't show pass protection; it shows how long it took to release the ball. When a QB is moved off his spot by a quick pass rush, he takes longer to deliver the ball.
@OptimisticJets The same thing that happened to Aaron Rodgers in 4 plays. (Notice the pass protection at BYU and the elite passing ability; now watch the pass protection by the Jets, and it's not tough to understand what happened.)
What an awesome split-screen showing how every team member - including the equipment manager - works together to create winning moments. Congrats to @JWAiken1 on the assist! #GoKnightsGo#VGK
Love this advice, as being a husband and father has been the most rewarding role of my life. - As we consider society's ills, I'm reminded of a 100-year old quote by J.E. McCulloch: “No other success can compensate for failure in the home."
Two-time Catholic Super Bowl Champ @buttkicker7 STUNS graduates with most important, unexpected advice:
"In the end— no matter how much money you attain— none of it will matter if you are alone and devoid of purpose... I can offer one controversial antidote that I believe will have a lasting impact for generations to come: GET MARRIED AND START A FAMILY." 🙏
The undisputable GOAT; thanks @TomBrady for showing true grit, inspiring competitive spirit, a never-ending drive for excellence and mastery of your craft, and sincere respect and sportsmanship with your competitors. #TB12 Best wishes in retirement!
After seeing the amazing capabilities of #ChatGPT and reading that @Microsoft is investing billions into partnerships with @OpenAI, I'm wondering if our future will look like this:
With 40 billion dollars, Elon Musk could have given each of the 330M people living in America a million dollars and still had $7B left over. Why aren't more people talking about this?
