Todd Gurley says that after his injury during the Auburn game in 2014, a booster paid him $100k “cause he felt bad”. Via @PeteNokos

“Man this dude gave me 100 bands after I tore my ACL. He gave me a hug and told me he felt bad. That was the most cash I’ve ever seen.”

Reggie Bush says being young, rich and famous didn’t heal the trauma he was carrying

“When you go through trauma… How you deal with that trauma is the next step. A lot of us don’t deal with our trauma the right way. A lot of us internalize it.”

“Especially when you have a lot of money… And you’re young… And maybe you don’t have the right guidance… That can be toxic.”

“For me, there was partying. Not focusing on bettering myself as an athlete. There were a lot of summers I felt like I wasted.”

“There were times when I was just wasting time. I should have been putting more into my craft. More into the sport. More into my body.”

“Being deeply immersed in Hollywood… While I was still spiritually broken on the inside… Was toxic for me.”

🚨THIS IS FASCINATING:

BILL BELICHICK TAUGHT ROB GRONKOWSKI TO USE “LATE HANDS” SO DEFENDERS COULDN’T MAKE A PLAY ON THE FOOTBALL.

🤯

Gronk would not extend his hands until the ball was right on him, making it nearly impossible for defenders to react.

WATCH: A mother grizzly bear approaches a fishing boat, spots a salmon in the water, and snatches it just a few feet from a fishing charter in Alaska.

Fishing guide Carter Brown kept his cool the entire time and said he started filming as the bear foraged along the river. Moments later, she was fishing for salmon right beside him.

"My clients were mind-blown," Brown said.

Brown says encounters like this are part of life in his unique corner of Alaska, where bears and humans regularly share the same waterways.

Jon Bernthal says what he'd like to see happen with The Punisher in the future.

“I want to see how Frank can serve. I want to see how Frank can honor the dead, how Frank can honor the people that he lost by serving, not just by avenging.”

🔥 AWESOME! Despite the left’s attempts to harass her and her fans, Sophie Cunningham spotted getting praised on the court as she pushes for no men in women’s sports

Never bend to the woke mob!

Orlando once spoke about Viggo in a 2013 interview.

“He can paint, he can write, he can sing, he can dance, he can play music, he can take you fishing, he can take you into the wild... He’s the guy who does it all. I tell you, most men wish they were Viggo Mortensen.”

Novak, Aaron, and Kyrie risked everything by refusing the advice of ‘Dr. Fauci’ and were ridiculed for doing so. They proved that the best role models for children are those brave enough to stand alone when the world demanded obedience…

Dude took the worst CFB team in history and won a championship in 2 years. No one can ever humble that.

Ja’Marr Chase if he would jump into the Dawg Pound in Cleveland:

“No, I wouldn’t do it. I heard they stab people in there.”

Dad buys stock at $200K.

It grows to $10M.

If he sells, he owes tax on a $9.8M gain.

So he does not sell.

If he needs cash along the way, he can borrow against it instead of selling. The loan is not taxed.

But mostly he just holds.

He dies still holding the shares.

The basis resets to $10M the day he passes.

The kids inherit at $10M.

That $9.8M gain. The income tax on it disappears.
They can sell the next day and owe almost nothing.

Jon Bernthal on Shia LaBeouf showing up to Brad Pitt's house straight from boot camp and staying locked in for 8 months straight

“He shows up at Brad Pitt's house, like, I just got back from boot camp. And I was like, dude.”

“8 months later, this motherfucker has not stopped for one second being all the way dialed in. He's laying down shit that no one else is laying down. He's proving once again to perform on a level that other people can't do.”

[Ryan Clark @Realrclark25]

Big Ten coaches like Curt Cignetti and Bret Bielema are talking crazy about the SEC. Why? Because they’ve earned the right. The Big Ten has won the last three national titles, and right now they’re treating the SEC like yesterday’s dynasty.

Facts don’t care about conference pride. The NIL and transfer portal era ended automatic SEC dominance. The real question isn’t whether the SEC is slipping—it’s which program is going to adjust first and remind everybody why the conference ran college football for two decades. Clock’s ticking.

The Dark Knight held the title of Christopher Nolan’s Best Film for nearly two decades. That was until The Odyssey. It’s not an easy decision & The Odyssey doesn’t have a performance nearly as memorable as Heath Ledger here as the Joker. But if you ask me which film I think is better? The Odyssey by just a nose hair.

Eve Ridley did an amazing job showing just how useless Ruthye Marye Knool was alll movie. 🤣 The only thing she right was free Lobo from his prison cell.

Kobe Bryant said he wore No. 24 because it was a daily reminder to himself to live each day like it was his last

“Philosophically, it carried a significance. It was about approaching every day as if it was my last.”

“Shaq’s gone. I have to drive this team every day. There are no days off.”

“You come to practice… We’re going.”

“Every time I look at that number… Today is the most important day.’ Today is the day.’”

“‘It’s one day.’ 24 hours. ‘That’s it.’”

“That helped me stay locked in.”

Joe Burrow admits that spending more than three years as a backup at Ohio State made him question whether his confidence was actually delusion

“At Ohio State, I was definitely questioning myself. I thought, ‘I’m working so hard in the weight room.’ ‘I’m playing really well in practice.’ But I felt like nobody was really taking notice. Nobody was seeing the improvement.”

“‘Do I have a warped sense of myself?’ ‘Do I have a warped sense of how I’m playing?’ ‘Or what kind of quarterback I am?’ Those three and a half years were definitely tough.”

“I had so much confidence in the work I was putting in. And the growth that I was having. But I felt like not a lot of people had confidence in me. Really, all I had was the confidence in myself… And the work that I was putting in… Would eventually come to light and pay off. Thank God it did.”

Today is Arnold’s birthday, and in 2023 he told us this INCREDIBLE story about Danny DeVito handing him a marijuana-filled cigar while they were on the set of ‘Twins’… so we had to bring it back to celebrate 🤣

Not his first time: watch the documentary “Pumping Iron” (1977), where he smokes openly in between workouts… Happy Birthday 🎂
