I don’t really think it’s about me Karoline. I think it’s about the idea that we all have fallen down and that we all wish we could be a little kinder to each other. And we all hope for a little grace and understanding when we get honest with ourselves and the world. And we all have that friend or brother or parent or son that has fucked up but fought to get back on their feet. Or that may be you. Or it may be the one that lost the battle and we are mourning them every day- and asking why couldn’t he fight for himself. Whatever it is- it’s not about me. It’s about all of us. So I genuinely ask you to forget about me- and reach out to someone you love who is struggling and tell them you’ll fight alongside them if they will fight for themselves.
@GoodmanHoops The problem with the first try at 20 games was squeezing all of them in 20 game slots after Christmas. Put 2 games before Christmas, and that will leave 2 byes for the main stretch.
Paul Holmgren signed Shea Weber to an offer sheet in the summer of 2012, after that he was essentially black balled by the rest of the NHL, ultimately leading to him stepping down. Teams made a concentrated effort to not trade with Holmgren or work with him after the offer sheet.
Vegas is playing a dangerous game with their approach to Cassidy, this isn't just a situation that impacts them now. It's going to impact future hires moving forward and the perception of the team from the rest of the league.
This manufactured us versus them mindset is embarrassing for an organization who has been handed everything up to this point in their existence.
@GreighWard@MarchMadnessMBB The play-in games get the same revenue share as every other game, meaning the play-in winners earn their conference an extra share. For the low major conferences, that's a bonus worth playing for.
King Charles III quietly did something genuinely moving during his state visit to the United States. A lifelong environmentalist who has championed conservation for over five decades often at the cost of ridicule from the British press the King ended his trip by visiting Shenandoah National Park in Virginia.
There, he sat with park rangers, swore in a new group of Junior Rangers, met Buddy the bald eagle, and unveiled a new partnership between Shenandoah and Scotland’s Cairngorms National Park. This is the same man who converted his own estate to organic farming back in 1986, long before it was fashionable.
A foreign monarch showing up with real curiosity and respect for America’s public lands felt refreshingly sincere. And yet, it barely made a headline.
That silence is telling. When a visiting head of state reminds us of the value of our own national parks more visibly than our own leadership, something has gone wrong.
For decades, King Charles has put his credibility on the line for the natural world.
Meanwhile, America’s public lands have faced aggressive rollbacks: the weakening of protections like the Roadless Rule, opening tens of millions of acres of national forests to logging and mining, and efforts to sell off large portions to private interests.
It’s a stark contrast. One man has spent a lifetime planting trees and defending nature.
The other treats the outdoors primarily as a backdrop for golf courses.
Our public lands deserve better than being viewed as a development opportunity. They belong to all of us and they’re worth protecting, not selling.
This 2020 NCAAT is one of the biggest what ifs in college basketball history.
What if SDSU and/or Dayton made the Final Four? How do we look at SDSU if it made it in 20 and 23?
Is this the Gonzaga team that cuts down the nets? Does FSU get Leonard Hamilton to a Final Four?
Does Maryland make a run, saving Mark Turgeon’s job? What about Louisville and Chris Mack? Butler and LaVall Jordan?
What would another title do for Bill Self’s legacy? Coach K gets another? Jay Wright wins three in five years?
Payton Pritchard and Myles Powell could’ve been real March superstars, too.
Would completely change the way we talk about many of these programs
