Legendary former Alabama football coach Nick Saban issues a stark warning on the devastating trajectory of college sports under current NIL rules.

"It's become an arms race, who spends the most has got the best chance to win.”

“But I think it's a race to the bottom because if you don't spend to win, you lose your fan base and you don't have any revenue."

@UKCoachLawson You look fabulous💙

[Tyler 🍊 @Tylerr_Bennett]

I really wanna go back to the era of college sports where you could have a favorite player and be able to follow him on your favorite team 3-4 years. I miss the passion players had for the logo on their chests. It’s non existent now. Let’s get back to that.

@MT_WBB Thank you Coach for a fabulous ride!!!💙

Whatever you do today, DO NOT share this video showing the difference between the two halftime shows.

We wouldn't want to make ourselves look any better than we already do ☺️

The Super Bowl is tomorrow.
I’m posting this throwback from Whitney Houston, and her rendition of the National Anthem.

This is from 1991, Desert Storm was in progress, and we had over half a million troops in Kuwait. This performance still gives me goosebumps, and is, without a doubt, the best version ever!

I’m sorry but…

If you have “mixed emotions” about representing America in the Olympics you should NOT be allowed to represent my country.

I’d rather us lose with patriots, than win with traitors.

[LHGrey™️ @Grey_0G]

Fuck you.

That flag isn’t a goddamn buffet where you pick the parts that stroke your fragile ego and spit out the rest.

It’s a contract.

It’s the unbroken chain of men who died face-down in foreign mud so you could flip tricks down a snowy hill and call yourself an “athlete.”

You don’t get to wear it while publicly vomiting on the very nation that handed you every privilege you’ve ever known.

This isn’t “nuance.”

This is narcissistic betrayal dressed up as virtue.

You’re not brave; you’re a coward hiding behind performative detachment because deep down you know your politics are fashionable poison that couldn’t survive five minutes under scrutiny.

You crave the applause of the coastal echo chamber more than you crave loyalty to the people who actually built this country.

You want to signal how “evolved” you are?

Fine.

Pack your shit.

The second your plane touches down, revoke the passport, strip the citizenship, and ship your disloyal ass straight to Pyongyang.

Let’s see how long your enlightened whining lasts when the state decides what you’re allowed to think, say, or ski.

America doesn’t need athletes who treat her like an embarrassing relative they tolerate for the inheritance.

We need warriors who understand that representing this nation is an honor purchased in full by better men than you.

Get the fuck out.

And take every last one of your enablers with you.

Another Glenn Reib post worth the read. He really is brilliant.

Dear America,

Listening to Donald Trump speak at the World Economic Forum wasn’t just another political speech. It was a correction. For decades, people everywhere have been fed the same lie: that government is the engine of wealth, prosperity, innovation, and stability. That if power is centralized enough, regulated enough, taxed enough, and managed by the “right” global experts, life will somehow improve for everyone. It hasn’t. And it won’t.

Government doesn’t create wealth. It redistributes it, often inefficiently, often corruptly, looking at you Timmy, and almost always upward. The bigger government grows, the more control it demands. The more control it demands, the fewer people benefit. That’s not capitalism failing; that’s bureaucracy doing exactly what it always does: consolidating power while pretending to protect the people it burdens.

The private sector is what builds. It risks. It innovates. It competes. It fails, learns, and succeeds again. Every meaningful advance in living standards came from individuals and businesses free enough to create, not from committees, councils, or global panels insulated from consequences. That’s why so much wealth ends up in the hands of the few under expanding government control, not because markets failed, but because markets were smothered. Power didn’t disperse. It concentrated. And as national governments weaken under regulation and debt, unelected global institutions quietly move in to “help,” nudging the world toward centralized governance no one voted for.

What made this moment different, what made it uncomfortable for the room, was that Trump didn’t ask permission. He didn’t flatter the audience. He didn’t speak in the polite language of managed decline. He told them, plainly, that nations must put their own people first, that sovereignty matters, and that prosperity comes from empowering citizens, not governing them into submission.

And then he talked about Greenland, not as a punchline, not as a stunt, but as a strategic reality. Security. Trade routes. Resources. Geography. Adults-only conversation. While the media mocks it, Trump framed it exactly as leaders should: nations think in decades, not headlines. The Arctic is opening. Power vacuums don’t stay empty. Pretending otherwise doesn’t make it noble; it makes it stupid.

Ronald Reagan used to speak this way. He believed it. He articulated it beautifully. Trump has something Reagan never had: leverage, and the willingness to use it. He doesn’t just describe free-market principles. He enforces them. Through trade, tariffs, negotiations, and unapologetic pressure, he forces theory into practice. He compels results. And that’s why no one alive has witnessed a presidency like this, not in America, and not on the world stage.

This isn’t about personality. It’s about power being returned to where it belongs. People don’t struggle because freedom failed. They struggle because it was taken from them, slowly, bureaucratically, and “for their own good.”

And for the first time in a very long time, someone stood in front of the world’s most powerful unelected voices and said: No. We’re not doing this anymore. History will remember that moment. Whether the world learns from it is the real question.

And now, predictably, the left is screaming “25th Amendment” because Trump is doing too much, moving too fast, breaking too many comfortable illusions. Spare us the outrage. This isn’t instability; it’s leadership. Imagine Joe Biden trying to do half of this. He couldn’t finish a sentence, let alone reshape the global conversation. And imagine cackling Kamala, word salad, buzzwords, and that annoying smirk, trying to stand in that room and command anything resembling authority. She wouldn’t be reshaping the global conversation; she’d be confusing it. That contrast should tell you everything you need to know.

Coach John Calipari is absolutely spot on here.
Why would a coach recruit and develop an American high school kid for 4 years when the system now rewards grabbing ready-made pros from overseas, the G League, or the NBA pipeline?
If we don’t fix this, we’re killing the entire purpose of college sports.

In light of the many Liberals chugging Tylenol to spite Trump I find this bit of "Trump" endorsing OXYGEN relevant
