The best way to see the beauty around you is to see it through the eyes of someone who has never seen it.
Thank you to the World Cup Tourists for reminding us.
I’m starting to think America’s biggest strength is mindset.
There’s this constant belief that bigger is better and anything is possible.
You can feel it everywhere.

I’m going to say the part everybody keeps trying to smother with soft lighting and school-colored spin:
This Texas Tech defense of Brendan Sorsby is not noble.
It is not brave.
It is not some deeply moving stand for second chances.
It is a beautifully produced excuse factory with a quarterback depth chart attached.
And I’m sorry, but some of us still remember when gambling was the one line sports absolutely, positively did not let you tap dance across.
Baseball knew it.
Basketball knew it.
Football knew it.
College athletics knew it.
Every athlete who has ever sat through a compliance meeting knows it.
You do not bet on games.
You certainly do not bet on games connected to your own program.
That is not complicated. That is not hidden in fine print. That is not some NCAA mystery written in invisible ink and stored behind a locked filing cabinet in Indianapolis.
That is Day One stuff.
That is “don’t touch the stove” stuff.
That is “the bridge is out” stuff.
And now Texas Tech wants everyone to gather around, dab our eyes, admire the production quality, and pretend this is really about compassion?
No.
Compassion is helping Brendan Sorsby get well.
Compassion is making sure he has treatment, accountability, support, and people around him who care more about his soul than his stat line.
Compassion is not pretending the rulebook suddenly caught a stomach virus because the quarterback room got uncomfortable.
That’s not grace.
That’s roster management wearing a halo.
And that’s where this whole thing starts smelling like a booster-club candle called “Selective Accountability.”
Because let’s be painfully honest.
If this were a third-string offensive guard from a school ESPN only mentions during weather delays, there would be no emotional video. No moral campaign. No carefully scripted institutional defense. No dramatic music. No “we stand with our guy” tour.
There would be a violation.
There would be a consequence.
There would be silence.
But because it’s a quarterback who can help win games, suddenly the red line needs context, therapy lighting, and a legal team.
Nope.
Wrong.
Try again.
Sports cannot survive if gambling violations become public-relations projects.
The integrity of the game cannot depend on how many boosters are nervous.
Rules cannot only apply to the guys who are not talented enough to become inconvenient.
And second chances do not have to include first-team reps.
I hope Brendan Sorsby gets help. Truly. I hope he heals. I hope he grows. I hope five years from now this is a painful chapter in a much better story.
But he does not need NCAA eligibility to become whole.
He does not need a starting job to be supported.
He does not need the rest of college football to pretend that a clear line was suddenly blurry just because Texas Tech found a camera crew and a sympathetic script.
Sometimes love tells the truth.
Sometimes support still says no.
Sometimes consequences are not cruelty.
And sometimes the most compassionate thing anyone can do is stop treating accountability like it’s a disease we need to cure.
You crossed the line.
Now the line has to matter.

NEWS: The Oklahoma Attorney General's office issued a rebuttal letter to the Texas AG's office's letter to the Big 12. Oklahoma AG Gentner Drummond says that the idea that Big 12 may not sanction its members is “facially absurd” and says Texas Tech’s actions have “constituted a shameful chapter in the story of college football.” Per me and @max_olson.
@TechAthletics The exhaustion of collegiate and professional football players constantly breaking the law/rules is REAL. Why are excuses made? Integrity is a joke now. Everybody needs to get it together. No one should play Texas Tech.
