@East_Los24 Well what do you think? I think the Jazz fleeced the Fakers and gave up alot for a guy who is hurt all the time.

@nashDPT12 I don't think he is that great either. Didn't like his little temper tantrum in the rivalry game two years ago. Then he made a twitter comment about the fremont kid who left to Michigan.

“My first college offer was to play (linebacker) at the University of Utah…”

“I feel like I could have done it.”

Giants QB @JaxsonDart thinks he could’ve had an NFL career at LINEBACKER:

@waterute @MarkBinSLC I live in Davis county and I get the channel. The only way I could get the channel consistently was I put the antenna upstairs by the window. I have a Tablo device so it I don’t have to connect it to the TV.

[ThatSportsFan @ThatSportsFan]

@waterute I got a TabloTV device. It’s a DVR for over the air so it will record the games so you can watch them later. No subscriptions just pay for the device it works great with my Roku device. https://t.co/NYoZ0TlfIy

This has never been cool tbh

Alabama better get penalized by the committee for that pathetic 4th down try.

[BoxScore @BoxScore_FB]

A&M is what SEC fans think BYU is

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more fraudulent 11-1 football team in my life

[Aaron Torres @Aaron_Torres]

Lets get one thing straight:

If 9-3 Texas misses the playoff, it isnt because they played Ohio State

Its because they lost to dogsh*t Florida. Also barely survived Kentucky and Mississippi State.

Congrats on the win tonight. They aren't one of the 7 best at-large candidates

Lander Barton is playing like garbage.

Alabama's CFP resume now includes a loss to a team with a losing record.

I know that some people who read this post have already decided that they will never have children.

Let me attempt to change your mind.

This is my oldest son Calin. Sixteen years ago today, he was born, and I became a dad. I will never forget the moment that I held him for the first time. The feeling is indescribable, pride, joy, and peace. I have never felt closer to God in my life then when I have greeted each of the children he has entrusted my wife and I with.

Calvin has faced some big challenges this year. He had a major operation on his right foot to correct issues he was born with. The procedure involved removing his heel bone entirely and reattaching it, lengthening his Achilles tendon, and cutting another bone in his foot so it could be repositioned to form an arch.

A couple of days after his surgery, I asked him how he was doing and where his pain level was, since he hadn’t had any pain medication for a few hours.

He told me it was sore, but no more sore than his left foot which has the same defects. That’s when I learned that his daily baseline pain level matched his pain two days after major reconstructive surgery. I had to hurry from the room to hide the tears welling in my eyes.

The doctor wasn’t sure how the surgery would affect Calvin’s running. He had grown from one of the slowest kids on the team in sixth grade to the fastest distance runner in his grade by his final year of middle school. I was worried he might not be able to continue participate in the sport that he loves.

With the surgery happening in the summer, I assumed he wouldn’t be running again until sometime next year.

But that wasn’t acceptable to Calvin. After being unable to bear weight for a couple of weeks, he transitioned to a boot and crutches, and within just a few days he was flying around faster than ever.

As soon as the doctor cleared him to walk, he asked if he could start running too.

Not long after that, he joined the high school cross-country team, which had already begun its season. The doctor assured us the bone had healed well enough for him to begin running, though it would likely still be painful.

That didn’t deter Calvin. He pushed through the pain every day, running several miles with the team.

A couple of weeks ago, in his final meet of the season, he set a massive PR, improving on his pre-surgery best time by a couple of minutes.

Now, just as his right foot is finally no longer sore, he’s preparing to have the same procedure done on his left foot the week of Thanksgiving.

I used to think that becoming a parent meant I was here to teach him. But I’ve learned far more from him than he has from me. Calvin is an incredible example of fortitude, patience, and endurance.

I can’t believe my little Cal-Pal is so close to adulthood. Two more years. That’s all we have left with him at home. I’ll try to cherish every day we spend together.

Being a dad is the hardest thing I've ever done. It's exhausting, overwhelming, and expensive.

Yet, I can't imagine my life without my children. They give meaning and purpose to everything that I do every day.

Was wondering how ASU and Leavitt would be without Skattebo.

[Holly Hardy @hallsrh]

It's funny that Portland paid Ayton to leave the team and Memphis attached a first to get off Smart's contract, but now Lakers fans think they struck gold getting these guys.

[David Locke @DLocke09]

It's really amazing to me how better a player becomes the moment they sign with Los Angeles Lakers or New York Knicks despite loads of evidence
