The last time Texas A&M was in the state of Florida, they lost to Miami. The last time Texas A&M was in Kyle Field, they lost to Miami.
The only thing that Texas A&M owns is an 87-year streak without a national title.
Maradona spoke of Ronaldinho as one of the greatest players he had ever seen, frequently highlighting how Ronaldinho’s style of play brought a unique, infectious joy to football. A true artist on the pitch.
USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.
Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.
I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."
"They just come with the table, man."
They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.
This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.
I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.
"Did we…?"
"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."
Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.
My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."
Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.
I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.
Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.
I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.
Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.
Kobe fans acting like DWade is DeMar DeRozan or something. DWade looked Kobe in the eye many times and outplayed him. He won a finals MVP before him. He led the 2008 Olympic team in scoring while coming off the bench. Yall lucky he had glass knees

The 42-20 Braves are going to lose this one tonight so strap in for the worst takes you’ve ever seen for the next 45 minutes. I’m ready for someone to suggest trading Chris Sale

This is the 3rd time in the last 6 seasons that Miami, FSU and Florida will all miss the Super Regional (2021, 2022, 2026)
This only happened twice between 1999 and 2019. (2007, 2014)
“Mario can’t buy everyone.”
Correct. Neither can anyone else. Every program Miami is battling right now has money. At some point you have to admit Mario is just better at recruiting than the people you’re making excuses for.
