BREAKING: New England Patriots star RB TreVeyon Henderson has come out in support of Jaden Ivey.
Ivey was waived by the Bulls for after he gave Christian-based criticism of the NBA's Pride Month.
College football's most decorated head coach Nick Saban spoke at the White House on Friday at a college sports roundtable hosted by President Trump.
Saban called on lawmakers to fix issues he has seen at the collegiate level, where Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals have turned the focus away from education.
"How much does anybody talk about getting an education anymore? Nobody talks about it at all, which is the most important thing any of these student athletes can do in terms of enhancing their future."
NBA legend Charles Barkley just called out liberal sports fans & media for being “stupid” & divisive following Team USA’s gold medal win/visit to The White House:
“Why do y’all have to mess up everything?… That’s why we got this divided, screwed up country. Stop it, man. Because the public, they’re idiots, they’re fools. They can’t think for themselves. I know y’all say stuff to trigger them. Y’all say stuff and y’all know they’re going to be fools.”
He also essentially called out Steph Curry, Jalen Hurts, LeBron James, Megan Rapinoe, & other liberal athletes:
“I’m not a Trump guy. But if I got invited to the White House, I would go. I’m not a Trump guy, I want to make that clear. But I respect the office. He’s the president of the United States… it doesn’t have to be a talking point. I don’t have to be un-American. I just wish y’all would stop falling for stupidity.”

JJ Redick shares the mindset shift that changed everything for him.
"You have to let go of outcomes."
"It has to be about the enjoyment and embracing the process."
Outcomes are out of your control - but you can own the process.
You choose the process over outcomes when you focus on doing the work consistently and living the details.
Results don't create discipline.
Discipline creates results.

Tom Brady: To be successful at anything, the truth is, you do not have to be special.
You just have to be what most people aren not: consistent, determined and willing to work for it. No shortcuts.
Nick Saban explains why you're not entitled to anything in life.
"You get up every day, you're entitled to: Nothing."
"Nothing is acceptable, but your best."
You get what you earn in life. That's it.
No one owes you success, opportunity or playing time. Those are things you earn.
Show up, do the work, and earn it every day - not because you're told to, but because that's the standard you hold yourself to.
Your thoughts drive what you want - your actions drive what you get.
The gap between the two? That's where most people fail.

John Calipari is right on this — allow one player transfer, after that, you have to sit out a year to transfer. We have guys playing for four different teams in four years. It’s beyond ridiculous and bad for the sport:
Please be mindful of the most priceless gift of all; the ability to breathe, to be alive, to love, to help, to hope, to smile. The best gifts in life will never be found under any Christmas tree. Those gifts are family, friends, children, parents, grandparents. The ones you love.
We have created a system where covering content matters more than understanding it.
And the cost is enormous.
Teachers are not rushing because they want to.
They rush because the curriculum is packed so tightly that every minute is spoken for.
There is barely time to finish the lesson, much less pause for questions.
The irony is that questions are where real learning happens.
A question is the mind trying to make meaning.
It is the moment a student reaches beyond memorizing and starts thinking.
But when the day is so full that students cannot even ask questions, they never learn how to question.
And if they never learn how to question, they never learn how to think.
Yet people still say things like, “If the standards are the same, classrooms should look the same.”
That idea sounds organized on paper, but it reveals a misunderstanding of learning.
Two classes can have the same standards and be in completely different places.
Because no two groups of students are the same.
No two teachers are the same.
No two paths to understanding are the same.
Standards describe the goals.
They do not dictate the route.
They do not require identical classrooms moving at identical speeds.
Learning is not a race to stay on pace.
Learning is the space to wonder, question, explore, and connect ideas.
When we remove that space, we are not raising rigor.
We are removing thinking.
If we truly want deeper learning, we need less racing and more room.
Less pressure to cover content and more permission to understand it.
Less focus on identical pacing and more focus on actual growth.
Because students do not grow from being pushed through material.
They grow from being allowed to think.
To all of those that are critical of LANE KIFFIN leaving understand the word loyalty at the power conferences doesn’t exist / had a better opportunity & wanted what @LSUfootball had to offer . Same happening now with players - it is the way of life with the current atmosphere that exists - my hope was the AD’s would have let him coach Ole Miss in playoffs .
