Colorado was 1-11 last season. Deion Sanders just won his first game as head coach at Colorado with a season opening road win against TCU.

COACH PRIME IS HERE 🔥

Hey athletes

I’m aware that you may go on a vacation this summer

Don’t just mindlessly run b/c you “don’t have equipment.”

- Do full speed sprints w/ rest
- Do band resisted sprints
- Do band resisted jumps
- Do max-effort plyometrics
- Use a towel & do ISOs

No excuses

Imagine if prior to dominating golf, Tiger Woods was a high school hoops champion, won 3 Olympic track medals and was a legendary baseball player as a kid...

That's Babe Zaharias, who 98% of modern sports fans have never heard of.

So let me tell you about one of the most accomplished, prolific, remarkable athletes ever.

And just so you know up top, we're dealing with an athlete who:

• won an AAU hoops title
• won 3 Olympic track medals
• pitched against Major Leaguers
• won 10 LPGA majors & 82 tournaments

Let's start:

Babe Didrikson. Born 1911. Instant athlete.

As a kid, prefers to play against boys because they're stronger & faster.

Earns the nickname "Babe" after hitting 5 homers in a baseball game.

“I don’t see any point in playing...if you don’t win,” she says.

And she wins...

She dominates softball, but loves basketball.

In high school she becomes a 2x All-American in Texas.

Leads her team to 3 undefeated seasons.

Scores 76 points in a game once.

1931. The Babe wins an AAU hoops title...

While she's good at hoops, she's otherworldly at track & field...

July 16, 1932: her masterpiece.

She competes as a team of one in the amateur championships: Wins 5 of 8 events. In 3 hours.

Won the team event herself and is Olympic bound...

1932 Olympics - Los Angeles

Babe becomes the only track & field athlete (men or women) to win a medal running, throwing & jumping.

Gold - 80m hurdles
Gold - javelin throw
Silver - high jump

She sets 4 world records & becomes an international superstar...

Babe is 22 years old. Famous. Loves challenges...

Already has the record for longest baseball throw by a woman (to this day).

She pitches in exhibition games against MLB players:

In one inning she gives up a walk and no hits to the Dodgers.

Now onto her best sport...

1935. Babe begins to play golf.

She's good... but wants to be great.

Practices 10 hours a day until her hands were bloodied according to the NY Times.

She wins amateur tournaments.

She turns pro. She wins pro tournaments. She helps found the LPGA tour...

The Babe has swagger. She enters locker rooms shouting:

“The Babe’s here! Who is going to finish second?”

Between 1947-48, she wins 14 tournaments in a row.

She wins 10 LPGA Majors in 15 years.

Becomes a HOFer & the perhaps the greatest female athlete ever...

Track and Field deserves more love but copying the NFL and NBA is not the answer.

I cannot believe it's Monday and nobody has done this yet so I'll take matters into my own hands

[Jawbreaker @Mattrtwhite]

Tom Brady took a $1M PPP loan. He made $83M that year and purchased a multi million dollar boat days after the loan

Brett Favre took $5M earmarked for people in MS living beneath the poverty level

Colin Kaepernick took a knee

Who lost their NFL career?

[Bleacher Report @BleacherReport]

Newly released evidence shows Brett Favre and former Mississippi Gov. Phil Bryant diverted "at least $5 million of the state’s welfare funds" to construct a new volleyball arena for the University of Southern Mississippi, per @ayewolfe

Favre's daughter used to play for the team

[Ben Crump @AttorneyCrump]

This is heartbreaking. 💔 A sudden stop caused Randy Cox to break his NECK in a transport van that wasn’t equipped with seatbelts. Because New Haven (CT) officers ignored his pleas for help, he went from being a healthy man to now paralyzed. This is unacceptable!!

I surprised my high school football team with new @ProjectRock @UnderArmour gear and a pregame speech.

How do you want to be remembered?

Now go beat their asses.

They beat the #1 team 42-7.

They played hard.
They played like champions.
They played like Freedom Patriots 🏈

@bradleyzack115 So dope 🔥

@ACAnarkeith This is straight outta that one episode of Black Mirror

[Napoleon Dolemite @ACAnarkeith]

Cameras on cops started with the idea of holding them accountable. Instead, all we have is infinitely more proof of their crimes, with no consequence.

The real pandemic, the one that is most likely to destroy America, is a disease, but not of the body, of the mind.

Joe Kovacs goes nuts, wins the world championships shot put on his final throw, by one centimeter with the joint-third best throw in history.

[Jumpers World @jumpers_world]
