Am I crazy for wanting the Patriots to take a flyer on Trey Benson? 👀
He feels like the odd man out in Arizona, but I still think his best football is ahead of him. Where would you like to see Benson play this season? #NEPats
If the U.S. National Team doesn’t answer Norway’s Viking photo shoot with a full on Colonial Army photo shoot, then what are we even doing as a country?

Emotional moment as graduate Kalen Barksdale walked the stage expecting his diploma—only for school staff to pretend it was missing before his sister, returning home in military uniform after serving overseas, surprised him and presented it herself.
If I’m advising a Hollywood executive, here’s what I’m telling them.

Tell that story and you’ll make a billion dollars right now.
Jean-Paul LaPierre, a 54-year-old boxer and marathon runner from Weymouth, Massachusetts (Boston area), was riding a CTA Blue Line train in Chicago heading to the marathon.
He stepped off, learned a man was robbing passengers at gunpoint, went back aboard, confronted the robber, grappled with him, disarmed the gun, and held him against the train wall until police arrived.
In the video, LaPierre says, “That kinda made me mad” and “I’m a boxer. I’ll break your head in one punch.” He later added, “It matters to me.”
The robber, Tremaine Anderson (30, with prior record), was arrested and charged with armed robbery.
LaPierre then ran the Chicago Marathon (his 12th) and later received a Carnegie Hero Medal for his bravery.
Not only have the @RedSox spent months ruining my summer, now they spoiled the winner of Survivor for me too. Incredible organizational range. Truly finding new ways to disappoint me daily. #Survivor50
Christopher Nolan's adaptation of “The Odyssey” relies on a celebrated feminist translation. But people are right to feel that, in it, "the idea of a hero is being degraded," says classicist Isabella Reinhardt. It is thus yet another assault on a foundation of Western culture.
Looking at him with a scowl, swift-footed Achilles replied: "Do not speak to me of agreements, hated Hector. There can be no covenants between lions and men, nor do wolves and lambs ever share one mind, they are forever enemies". -Iliad, Book 22, line 260
@Schultz_Report@Raiders Kirk Cousins and Fernando Mendoza in Vegas might be the holiest QB room in the NFL, all in the City of Sin. What a time to be alive.
Troy was so good. But you have to realize people at the time thought this was a B movie. The Lord of the Rings movies had just come out. Gladiator was only a few years old. Pirates of the Caribbean was the year before. We just thought movies would be good forever.
