Add @PatMcAfeeShow and @CollegeGameDay on site as a pregame… Lee Corso putting on different American iconic heads would be amazing… bald eagle, Washington, Uncle Sam… this could be legendary and take us all the way to winning the cup.
United States really should’ve put all of the knockout round games in SEC towns.
“Oh you wanna beat America in the round of sixteen? Great. You’ll do it in Tuscaloosa.”
The World Cup has turned America into a discovery channel for the rest of the world.
And they are not handling it well.
In the best possible way.
Here is what they are discovering:
Free public restrooms. Europeans pay every time.
Free water at every restaurant. Just appears.
Free refills. Coffee. Sodas. Iced tea. Unlimited.
Free chips and salsa before you even order.
Free warm bread with dinner.
Ice in drinks like civilized people.
Air conditioning everywhere. Not a moral debate. A fact.
Parking lots attached to the actual place you are going.
Drive throughs where the food comes to the car while you sit in it.
Ranch dressing by the gallon.
Tex-Mex that cannot be explained only experienced.
Dental care that actually works.
Buccee’s. There are no words for Buccee’s.
Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
Why would we need trains.
The Germans are taking ranch home by the bottle.
The Dutch found queso and briefly lost the ability to speak.
The Japanese are photographing HEB like it is the Louvre.
The Czechs are weeping in West, Texas.
Welcome to America!
The greatest country on earth.
🚨⛳️🇺🇸 #USA — Wyndham Clark showed up to the Rink at the Canadian Open with a USA Hockey jersey and the Canadian fans let him hear it after he birdied the hole 👀
“Boooooo!” 🤣
Who would have ever thought that Jalen Brunson would win a championship before Luka?! Also hard to believe Josh Hart, Mikal Bridges, and Jalen Brunson would win a championship in college and the NBA… congrats to the Knicks.
Not a Knicks fan. I just hate the Spurs.
That was one of the most fun @USMNT games I’ve watched in my lifetime. In the past feels like we would have squeaked out a disappointing win… “Do you believe in miracles?!”
Harry Diamond every two shots Rory dropped:
“Pal, we would've taken this on Monday morning.”
Harry walking off the 4th after his 3 putt double bogey
“Pal..”
Rory:
“O SHUT THE **** UP!”

🚨 2 CHAINZ STUNS THE INTERNET AFTER REVEALING THE CYBERTRUCK REPLACED HIS ENTIRE GARAGE
2 Chainz just said it on camera to Shannon Sharpe… and people weren’t expecting this.
All those high-end cars he owns?
They’re sitting.
Because of one Tesla truck.
• He says it’s the most comfortable and easiest vehicle he owns
• Charges at home… no gas stations, no stops
• Claims it can literally drive him home while he eats
• Mentions built-in protection and insane acceleration
• Says everything else stays parked now
He’s not comparing it to other electric cars.
He’s comparing it to everything he owns including $500,000 luxury vehicles.
From six-figure exotics to daily driving… this one replaced all of them.
Not louder. Not flashier.
Just better for real life.
If million-dollar garages get replaced by one truck… what does that tell you?

NEW: New Testament scholar Jeremiah Johnston shows Shawn Ryan what the Crown of Thorns that was put on Jesus' head might have looked like.
"I see love because it should have been my head in that crown. But it wasn't."
"The Bible says Jesus loved me so much when I was at my worst. God sent his best for me, who put his head in that crown that I deserved."
"And that is the beauty of the gospel."
Thank you, Jesus.

Understand this: The movies and shows about the crucifixion have been tame when compared to what He actually went through.
Even The Passion Of The Christ was forced to hold back a little in order to avoid an X rating.
Crucifixion was, and still is, arguably the most excruciating death someone can experience.
The night before in Gethsemane, He was sweating blood. This is known as hematidrosis. This would have caused His skin to become extremely sensitive, thus making the beatings to come even worse.
The fear He felt was the beginning of His feeling the weight of our iniquities being laid on Him.
Yet - in this moment, He didn’t demand that the Father take it from Him. He only asked for the cup to pass Him over if it was within the Father’s will.
Up next came the Cat of Nine Tails, or a Roman Flagrum. This was a weapon with long leather “tails”, each embedded with sharp bones and metal.
He was flogged 39 times as Jewish law mandated “40 minus one”, because 40 was said to kill a man.
This flogging wasn’t like being punished by your father’s leather belt.
Every strike tore flesh, every strike exposed muscle. Every strike exposed nerve endings. Every strike tore flesh to the bone.
This would be like getting struck with razor blades over and over again, leading to hypovolemic shock from blood loss.
Oh, and the crown of thorns? These weren’t rose thorns. These were thorns which were 2-3 inches long. Beaten into his skull.
These thorns would have pierced his skull, tripping the trigeminal nerve, thus causing unimaginable pain and even more blood loss from the dozens of head wounds.
At this point, extreme nausea and dizziness would begin to set in.
What came next? Carrying the cross. Which weighed around 300lbs. This would be like carrying two full kegs on your back.
Splinters and wood grating against the open flesh on His back. And He had to carry it 650 yards, or close to a half mile.
Imagine carrying a log on your back after being skinned alive.
Up next? He was nailed to the cross with spikes 5-7in in length. Piercing His wrists - this no doubt pierced the median nerve, causing extreme burning sensations up and down His arms.
A spike was driven through his ankles - severing nerves and tendons. This would have felt like standing on broken glass every time He pushed Himself up in order to breathe.
He suffered for 6 hours.
His chest muscles collapsing, making every single breath a fight for life.
His shoulders were dislocated, His arms stretching unnaturally long.
His heart was struggling to pump blood.
He was extremely dehydrated, His lips cracking.
His heart more than likely literally ruptured from the stress.
And on top of all of that, He had to feel a separation with the Father for a period of time in order to REALLY bear the weight of our sin.
He took up this burden for ALL sin before Him, and ALL sin which came after Him.
HE DID IT ALL FOR US.
To free us. To defeat sin. To give us a pathway to the Kingdom.
Every sin we commit is exactly why He had to do it.
And the real kicker? He knew what was coming when He rode into Jerusalem … and He didn’t turn around. He kept going.
For us.
