“Credit Otis Nixon with his 6th stolen base. That ties the modern Major League record. It’s a new National League record.”

Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
Tim Conway on Johnny Carson in 1986, still one of the funniest things ever put on TV. Pure physical comedy genius. Classic gold that never gets old.
Rest in peace to a legend who brought joy to millions. 😂
Auburn’s Alex Golesh on playoff size: “The (amount of teams in the) College Football Playoff is the last thing I’ve thought about. Man, no one cares if I think it’s 12, 16 or 24 (teams). Whoever is figuring it out, God bless them.”
@USDASDuffey Since opening in 2012, Redstone has played a key role in advancing U.S. missile defense readiness. This latest investment reflects RTX’s continued commitment to strengthening America’s industrial base and accelerating delivery where it matters most.
Yesterday, RTX welcomed the Honorable @USDASDuffey to our Redstone Raytheon Missile Integration Facility in Huntsville, Alabama, where we showcased how strategic investments are expanding critical missile production capacity.

Bobby Bowden makes his head coaching debut, defeating William & Mary 43-7.
W & M H.C. Lou Holtz accused Bowden of running up the score.
Bowden told Holtz he should recruit more Williams and less Marys.

It’s 330am on July 5th, 1985, 18th inning of a game between the Mets/Braves. The Braves are down 11-10 and down to their last hitter. They send reliever Rick Camp, who had a batting average of .062.
Beautiful call by legendary broadcaster, John Sterling.
Rest easy, John

Uncoachable players have short careers.
They flinch at feedback.
They make excuses.
They need praise.
The best?
They hunt coaching.
Feedback is a gift. Cash it in.💰
