NEW: Mike Leach made the Hall of Fame ballot after criteria changes — but if he's getting in, John Majors should already be there 👀

Majors won 3 SEC titles and a natty. Leach never came close.

I remember the day my dad got laid off.

He came home early. Sat at the kitchen table.
Didn’t say anything for a long time.

28 years at the same company.
$52,000 a year.
Same desk. Same commute.
Same handshake every Christmas party.

They called him into HR on a Tuesday morning and handed him a folder.

2 weeks severance. $2,000.
A COBRA packet at $1,400 a month he couldn’t afford and a thank you for your service.

He was 54.

Too young for Medicare.
Too old to start over.
Too proud to tell us how scared he was.

He spent the next 4 years working part time jobs at $14 an hour.

Not to retire comfortably.
Not to build anything.

Just to keep health insurance so a hospital bill wouldn’t finish what the layoff started.

28 years.
$1.4 million in value given to that company.

And they never called to check on him once.

I will never forget that kitchen table moment.

That’s when I learned that no company will ever love you back.

@DavidDack Agreed. Especially the part about 5k’s hurting immediately. 13.1 is a good distance that allows time for resistance training as well.

Shout out to the guy on the porch who watched this entire scenario unfold and just sat there.

This is bullshit. I promise you.

Tax billionaires. Invest in schools.

[Dan Go @CoachDanGo]

Something I noticed when I visited China was public schools always started their days off with a run.

A school in Naperville, Illinois, did an experiment on this and called it "Zero Hour".

Before school, students would hit the gym at 7am and push their heart rates to 80% of their max. Then went on to do class.

The result? Reading scores doubled. Math scores jumped 20x.

On an international test, Naperville 8th graders finished 1st in science (beating Singapore) and 6th in math globally.

Some of my entrepreneur clients swear by doing cardio in the morning. They say it keeps their brain sharp. I don't disagree.

Cardio isn't just for your heart. It's brain fuel.

Exhaust the body to sharpen the mind.

Our policy makers are too far removed from these types of answers.

Old school isn’t always a bad thing.

[Brandon Luu, MD @BrandonLuuMD]

Scientists measured cardiovascular fitness in 1.2 million 18-year-olds, then followed them for 10-36 years.

The fitter they were, the more likely they were to:
1) score higher on intelligence tests
2) earn a university degree
3) reach a higher-status job

Do your cardio.

That’s exactly it. We’re funding private schools now.

[Gene Bryant @GeneBryant2]

It appears that most of the new school voucher recipients were already attending private schools, which means in addition to funding public education, taxpayers are also funding a significant portion of private education. https://t.co/ZfGNvVU3NB

@ConradGilmartin @FrankLuntz Good one!

The top 6 health insurers reported $15.4B in profit for Q1.

UnitedHealth: $6.28B
CVS Health /Aetna: $2.94B
Elevance: $1.76B
Cigna: $1.7B
Centene: $1.54B
Humana $1.18B

They raised premiums, cut benefits. narrowed networks and exited markets to satisfy Wall Street.

Their profits are your denied claims and coverage cuts.

Demand Medicare for All.

WARREN BUFFETT: "I can end the U.S. deficit problem in 5 minutes."

"Just pass a law that any time there's a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all members of Congress are ineligible for re-election."

Stan Musial started his career 2-4, and his average never dipped below .319 at any point during his career.

Curious when all the Republicans in West Tennessee are going to figure out they gerrymandered themselves too. Diluted their own primary vote. Effectively 5 GOP congressional primaries will be decided in the Nashville suburbs.

Biggest loss of rural power in the state’s history.

[Jeff Yarbro @yarbro]

To give you a sense of how stupid this is, on the 20 minute drive between the Krispy Kreme on Thompson Lane in Nashville and the Krispy Kreme on Mallory Lane in Brentwood, you pass through five different congressional districts.

Happy 81 birthday to Bob Seger!

Mark Zuckerberg built a MASSIVE data center in Georgia

Just hundreds of yards from people’s homes.

Water pressure collapsed. Sinks don’t run. Toilets won’t refill. Homes shake nonstop. Power outages are common

A billionaire gets his servers — working families get steamrolled.

I know Bob Barker is beloved and rightfully so, but nobody has ever rocked the skinny microphone like Gene Rayburn.
