"BUTCH CASSIDY"
A Tribute to Jim Kiick🕯️
Born August 9, 1946
Heaven Birthday to the versatile #Dolphins halfback, who later developed into a clutch, situational short-yardage and goal line player
Jim scored the game-winning touchdown in all three postseason games during Miami's 17-0 Perfect Season of 1972 — including Super Bowl VII, and scored the game-winner in Super Bowl VIII the following year.
Three times he led the Dolphins in scrimmage yards, as well as twice in rushing, and twice in touchdowns.
From 1968-71, Kiick registered four straight seasons with over 1,000 yards from scrimmage.
A skilled blocker, the two-time AFL All-Star also led the AFL in rushing touchdowns in 1969. #PhinsUp
Alexander Zverev on the ATP calendar:
"There is no other sport where there is so much play, this cannot continue. The players' health is at risk, it's inconceivable that we start a season on December 29 and finish in the second week of November."

Rest in peace, Merc ❤️. While most remember him as an incredible football player, I knew him as one of my dad’s closest friends, who stood by his side from beginning to end. Thank you for being so good to my dad, Merc. You will be greatly missed 🕊️
@TweenerKing As I said, definitely can require more skill than people think. And a lot more cardio than I certainly anticipated! But does not come close to the game of tennis. The two sports shouldn’t even be compared honestly. Nevertheless, good luck to you!
@TweenerKing Oh lord! I can’t figure out if this was a joke for clout. I love pickleball. I think it’s so fun and it requires more skill than people think, however, your comment is a bit extreme. I came over to pickleball for 3 tournaments because I was waiting for my knees to heal.
@TweenerKing I practiced around 5 times before going to my first event and actually won some rounds. I find it very difficult to believe someone from pickleball could do that with a tennis tournament.
I’ve never uploaded a “finalist” photo but making an exception for this one. 7 matches and came up short by one. Very happy with my performance this week. More importantly, happy to share this with my ❤️ who flew all the way to California from NJ to watch my final.
Pro tennis player @AllieKiick proves that it's possible to earn the No. 126 world ranking AND a bachelor's degree.🎾 With the flexibility of UF Online and her accommodating instructors, Allie is fulfilling her UF dream via the @UFCALS online Microbiology & Cell Science program.
@Johnny5pointOH@jon_wertheim@WTA That’s fair. I deleted my tweet cuz I didn’t know it was an amateur event. Just extremely disappointing because people see a forefeit not knowing the facts. It’s a inaccurate reflection of my character as I would never just not show up out of respect for the event and opponent.
(1/2) Pickleball was a temporary thing for me until I was able to get back to the 🎾 courts. I withdrew from the us open pickleball event way in advance and they still kept me in the draw. It’s disappointing when people see a forfeit and don’t know the facts. It’s an inaccurate
