In the 4 years @PatrickMahomes has been starting, look how far above every other QB he has been when it comes to EPA (expected points added) per play. He has been the best QB in the league when it comes to EPA, which might be the most important stat. Also quite good in CPOE.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

Bears fans think Caleb Williams is about to become Mahomes. 😄😵‍💫🤕

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

Yes!!! THUNDER GOES DOWN!!

[NBA Memes @NBAMemes]

Pump fakes used to be used for space creation man.
This Kobe vs SGA comp perfectly sums it up!

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

Cavs coach just did the worst job I’ve ever seen fumbling away a win. Allowed an 18-1 run. Should have taken 3 timeouts during that period. Forfeited timeouts that weren’t taken. Absolutely gave away a win.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

Wemby by himself is more likable than the whole Thunder team (and all their fans) put together!

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

This is what I came to say. What a STUPID way the @nba decides the future of the league!!! It doesn’t stop tanking, and often prevents legitimately horrible teams from picking high!! Stop being cute and do it like the @nfl!!

[Heath Cummings @heathcummingssr]

NBA Draft lottery process is horrendous and I am afraid they are only going to make it worse.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

A terribly sad end to a terrible season for the @Pacers . I think they’re heading back to the doldrums unfortunately. What a stupid decision to trade the 2026 1st at all! If they insisted on the 2026 1st, you turn it down. This was their chance to build a championship team.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

@robertmays Great pod. I wanted to interject during your @chiefs conversation that it seems pretty clear to me they plan to take a flier on Tyreek. Thoughts?

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

@cjwynes @goldmctNFL yeah I just disagree. Thornton is average, Worthy has not grown much at all since he came into the league, and Rice has regressed. We drafted a player last year who didn't even get on the field. Boston or Cooper at 29 would have been sweet.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

@MattConnerAA I would have been annoyed. CB in our system is able to be patched together, and Spags is great at training mid-level talent to elevate. We HAVE to pick an edge in round 1, and we could have stayed at 9 and just picked Bain. And we needed a WR to start outside instead of Thornton.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

@goldmctNFL Unfortunately, Charles, I don't think anything at 40 would make me feel significantly better. It just wasn't a great job managing the draft by Veach in my opinion. He could have done so much better, and that's not even counting the fact that drafting CBs early just isn't needed.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

#Chiefs fans I welcome your thoughts on this. I think this is how most of us are feeling today. @Chiefs

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

The players the Chiefs got in Rd 1 should be very good. The only glaring problem with what Veach did is that he could have stayed put and gotten a stud at 9, and kept all of his picks (either for players or to maneuver later). Could have had Downs, the best DB in the draft, at 9.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

If they can get Arvell Reese @ 6, it's a no-brainer. But Delane or Downs would have been there at 9 , so you wait. With the team having SOOO many needs still (WR, OT, Edge, another CB) you are now hoping the draft falls just right so you can get guys you like at all those spots.

I spent 11 years as a pro athlete, and today I coach my 8-year-old.

A few things I believe about youth sports...

Most kids will never play college sports.

Even fewer will earn money from playing their sports.

Yet everyone can experience life lessons through sports.

Now, to do that, it requires you, me, and everyone involved to understand the stakes.

The stakes? Well, there are none.

Ya, the 8u tournament where the coach lost his mind on a call by a 14-year-old umpire.

The play your first basemen didn't make that he should have.

The game you lost because the coach put the players in the "wrong positions".

None of that matters, and understanding that...well, those are the stakes.

You see, kids are incredible at watching, repeating, and forming habits.

As a coach and parent, my goal is pretty simple.

*Teach them the game
*Make sure they enjoy it
*Show them how to live with the results

The most common pitfall I see in youth sports today is the excuse train.

The umpire made a bad call.
The coach feeds into it, the players follow along.

The one player missed the easy play.
The coach yells, the players feed into it.

The team had a run of bad luck.
The coach makes excuses, the players think that is ok.

My friends, youth sports is a tool to teach your boys and girls about life.

That's it... For the select few that will go on and play college or pro, good on them.

Chances are that isn't my kids or your kids.

So our job? To make sure they understand what is important and that we remember the stakes.

[Kevin Scott @KevinScottFF]

When did the NBA refereeing become such crap?? The calls they are making to help OKC are CRAZY!!

One of the most important speeches of our time. It will be in history books.

[Yasmina @yasminalombaert]

Listen, if you’re tired of the diplomatic fluff and want someone to actually call out the chaos, you need to hear this. Claude Malhuret just went absolutely scorched-earth in the French Senate, and frankly, it’s a masterclass in truth-telling.

He doesn't hold back on the "madmen" wrecking the global order—slamming putin for his relentless, bloody ego-trip in Ukraine and dragging Trump’s new "circus" of a cabinet for treating foreign policy like a private piggy bank.
Malhuret is basically the only adult left in the room, cutting through the MAGA noise and the Kremlin’s lies with the kind of sharp, witty clarity we desperately need right now. It’s brutal, it’s honest, and it’s a total must-watch.

Speech by Claude Malhuret regarding the situation in the Near and Middle East:

"Mr. President, Mr. Prime Minister, ladies and gentlemen of the Cabinet, in February 2022, a dangerous madman drunk on grandeur lit a fuse in Ukraine that blew up a powder keg and disrupted the world order. The war was supposed to last a week. It is now entering its fifth year. In February 2026, another dangerous madman lit another fuse in the Near East that once again threatens international balance. Was that war also supposed to last a week? One month later, the whole world is asking: 'What is going to happen?' The simple, short, and precise answer is this: God only knows.

A year ago in this very place, I compared the Trump presidency to the court of Nero. I was wrong; it is a 'Court of Miracles.' An anti-vax former heroin addict as Secretary of Health; a climate skeptic as Secretary of Econology; an alcoholic TV host as Secretary of Defense; a former agent of Qatar as Attorney General; a putin groupie as National Security Advisor. A Turkish proverb says: 'When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king; the palace becomes a circus.'

This 'fine team' decided to create a competitor to the UN. Since his Peace Council has existed, Trump has launched more military strikes than Biden did during his entire term. Every time an internal scandal resurfaces, bombs explode somewhere in the world as a diversion. Bomb more to gain more. There isn't a country where Trump hasn't taken advantage of the situation to enrich himself, never forgetting his family: a private Boeing gifted by Qatar, investments in all Gulf projects or elsewhere, manipulation of stock market prices benefiting a few insiders. A single one of these conflicts of interest would have triggered an immediate impeachment procedure here, but we are not here—we are in MAGA America: the conduct of public affairs at the service of private interests.

After the customs duties, Greenland, the abandonment of Ukraine, the humiliation of allies, the ineffective back-and-forth in Venezuela and so many others, a new senseless adventure begins.

Let me be clearly understood: I am the last to complain about the decapitation of the Mullahs' regime and the first to demand freedom for the Iranian people. But what is the strategy to achieve it? And have the collateral damages, including for the Iranians, been measured? The answer is: there is no strategy, and collateral damages are written off as losses. Just as in January, when Trump called on Iranians to take to the streets, only to leave them to be massacred by the Basij.

After the pretext of an 'imminent' Iranian atomic bomb—contradicted by the Director of American Intelligence herself—and then the argument for regime change, it is Marco Rubio who finally let the cat out of the bag: we went in because we followed Netanyahu. In other words, we have no objective of our own. Trump ignored the warnings of the few who had the courage to tell him what would obviously happen: the blocking of the Strait of Hormuz, the extension of the war to the entire Near East, and finally the global repercussions.
