We’re just getting started.

“Mr. Sorsby will hold the Big 12 and its members fully accountable for their actions."
How about holding Mr. Sorsby fully accountable for his actions???
Architect Antoni Gaudí designed the Sagrada Família so that its central Tower of Jesus Christ would rise prominently above the basilica, while remaining lower than the mountain of Montjuïc out of respect for God's creation, reflecting his belief that no human achievement should surpass the work of the Creator.
🚨PRIDE MONTH🚨
The Texas Rangers are the ONLY MLB team not acknowledging “Pride Month.”
The Rangers are again not hosting an LGBT night event.
Instead, on June 18, they will be hosting a Faith and Family Night.
According to their website, the event will feature “personal testimonies from Rangers players Wyatt Langford, Josh Jung, Cody Bradford, Jacob Latz, Jalen Beeks, and others, sharing how faith impacts their lives both on and off the field.”
Paul Skenes on the World Baseball Classic and USA's recent Olympic success, via @colin_beazley:
"We're America, we've got to assert our dominance over everybody else. That's what we do."
Mike Bianco shares a story about commitment that will change how you think about goals.
Jack Weimer was about 5'10" and weighed almost 300 pounds. His doctor told him:
"You're not going to live a long life. You've got to go on a diet, you've got to exercise - you're gonna die of a heart attack or stroke."
He wanted to change. But his commitment wasn't good enough.
Then one day, he got devastating news. His daughter Megan was diagnosed with a rare kidney disease. She needed a kidney transplant.
They tested everyone in the family and Jack was the only match.
He was excited until the doctors said:
"We can't operate on you. We may lose you on the table. And we're not putting that kidney in your daughter. We can't do that."
He asked: "How much time do I have?"
"Maybe 6 months."
In 6 months, Jack Weimer lost 100 pounds. They had the surgery. His daughter got the transplant.
So what's the story about?
"His commitment wasn't high enough. He wanted to - just like people want to win, people want to go to Omaha, people want to play well. But his commitment wasn't great enough."
Then Bianco dropped the line everyone needs to hear:
"Once your commitment is greater than your feelings, that's when you get results. That's when it happens for you."
Wanting isn't enough. You have to commit.
• Commit to showing up.
• Commit to being selfless.
• Commit to being a good teammate.
Your commitment has to be greater than your feelings.
That's when change happens.

@NBATIGAHBOY That’s what I’m saying. And even the platoon guys are all hitting well. The only guy that’s not hitting it hard super consistently is Curiel and he’s arguably your best player. Feels like a really fun team if the pitching can cut down on some of these walks. UCF will be a fun one
Happy Veterans Day
Today’s about honoring the men and women who’ve worn the uniform — those who’ve protected this country and given us the chance to live out our dreams.
I think of my brother Lee Deal every year on this day — my high school teammate, college roommate, and best friend — killed in action in 2006.
Because of him, this day isn’t just a holiday. It’s a reminder that the life and opportunities I have came at a cost others were willing to pay.
Every anthem, every field I’ve ever stepped on, I think of him — and the men and women like him who give us the chance to chase our dreams.
Grateful today and every day. 🇺🇸
