John Daly hit it close on 17 and picked a little fella out of the crowd. He calmly walked up and dropped the putt. May be the best thing you see today. #RegionsTradition
@AmericanAir I have a travel credit that expires in April. Do I just have to book a flight by that expiration date or does travel need to be by that date. Thank you
If you're thinking about switching cell phone service to @ATT don't do it! They will over charge you again and again. Call, they promise to fix it. Two months later fixed. Then the next month over charge again!!!! Oh then you call, wait on hold 34 mins. Get to a person (1 of2)
Suspicious Ring Camera Clips Draw Comparisons to Masked Figure in Nancy Guthrie Investigation.
On Jan. 23. a man showed up on someone's front porch around 3:30 a.m. and then returned again at 5 a.m. It was captured on a Ring camera and the user posted it on the Neighbor app. The home is roughly six miles south of Nancy Guthrie 's house.
Possible suspect?

@realPurePower34 Certainly wasn’t prepared for the camera. Doesn’t seem rushed looking for something to cover camera with. Looks like a gun in groin area. Looks male to me
130 schools said no.
He led the losingest program in college football history to a national championship anyway.
Fernando Mendoza was a 2-star recruit from Miami.
He tried to walk on at his hometown school. They passed.
So did FIU.
So did FAU.
So did everyone else.
At 17, he was sitting in his bedroom, crying over a silent recruiting inbox—after driving to 18 camps with his dad and sending highlights to more than 100 programs.
Not one FBS offer.
His only option? Yale. No scholarship. No NFL path.
Everyone told him to be “realistic.”
“Know your place.”
“Be grateful.”
He didn’t listen.
Because Mendoza understood something most people miss:
The worst outcome isn’t failing.
It’s never getting the chance to try.
Two weeks before signing day in 2022, his phone rang.
Cal needed a body. One offer. Out of 134 schools.
He took it.
He arrived as the third-string quarterback.
Spent a year on the scout team.
Lost his first four starts.
Got sacked 41 times behind a broken offensive line.
Still got up. Every time.
Then Cal brought in a transfer instead of building around him.
So Mendoza left the only school that had ever said yes.
He transferred to Indiana—the losingest program in college football history.
People laughed.
“Career suicide.”
“Graveyard program.”
“Nobody wins there.”
One coach told him something different:
“I’m going to make you the best Fernando Mendoza possible.”
That was enough.
Mendoza wasn’t just playing for football.
His mother has battled multiple sclerosis for 18 years.
Before every snap, he thought of her.
“My mother is my why.”
Indiana went 16–0.
Beat six Top-10 teams.
Won their first Big Ten title since 1945.
Mendoza threw 41 touchdowns.
Won the Heisman—first in school history.
First Cuban-American to ever do it.
Then came the title game.
Miami. Near his hometown.
Fourth-and-4. Season on the line.
Quarterback draw.
The kid 134 schools rejected spun through defenders and dove into the end zone.
Game over.
Indiana—national champions.
The losingest program became the best team in America.
All because a 17-year-old refused to believe “no” was the end.
Rankings don’t decide your ceiling.
Gatekeepers don’t write your ending.
Being overlooked isn’t a verdict—it’s a starting point.
Sometimes all you need is one shot…
and the courage to bet on yourself when nobody else will.
Don’t quit.
