In unity and resilience, we remember. 🇺🇸

A shining tribute from Neyland Stadium tonight, on the 25th anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks.

We honor the enduring memory of the victims, their families, and the heroic first responders.

Props to Tennessee for the 9/11 memorial at Neyland. Never forget, this is class.

The NCAA should match Arion Carter’s $427 per tackle for cancer research. That’s the amount his flight cost — that he repaid — that the NCAA suspended him for. But they probably won’t. So I will. I’m matching his $427 for cancer research. Do same, NCAA!

This is a really sad week.

But we just have to be grateful for so many years of joy we got from Dolly Parton, Tim Curry, and so many others no longer with us ♥️

Neyland played “I Will Always Love You” with 102,000 fans singing along 🥲

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Dolly Parton dying for the state of Tennessee was like the Queen of England dying for England.

Update: I am now challenging @WNBA @LVAces to a $10 million one game contest. Their opponent now? Not even high school boys any more because they were afraid to play. Now up: an 8th grade boy’s team of my choice.

🚨 NOW: Riley Gaines just NAILED IT after former NBA star Enes Kanter Freedom qualified himself for the 2027 WNBA Draft

"It's BRILLIANT and GENIUS. [WNBA] can either recruit and sign Enes Kanter Freedom, [or] they can prove themselves as total, absolutely BIGOTS who don't believe the things that they're actually advocating for!" 🔥

"I've seen people online say that Enes Kanter Freedom is making a 'mockery' of women's sports, but that's not at all what he's doing. He's making a mockery of the PEOPLE who have made a mockery of women's sports."

@Riley_Gaines_ 💯💯

[Enes Kanter FREEDOM @EnesFreedom]

After careful consideration and reviewing the current eligibility guidelines,
I’m officially declaring myself a @WNBA prospect.

If simply declaring who you are is all that’s required, then I meet every single requirement necessary to compete in the WNBA.

My team and I have carefully examined the WNBA’s eligibility criteria and governing framework surrounding self-identification and inclusion. Based on the current guidelines, I can and am officially declaring my eligibility for the upcoming WNBA draft in April 2027.

I know my presence on the court will stir up strong opinions.
I am definitely not here to mock, make fun of, or disrespect any community or personal choices.
I’m simply asking that the current rules be applied equally to everyone — the rules that represent the very values many WNBA players and coaches have publicly advocated for.
My team and I are prepared to ensure these guidelines are applied equally, consistently, and without exception, and I look forward to the #WNBA honoring its stated principles.

See you at training camp.

Elon Musk thinks the entire education system is built on a broken assumption.

That every student should learn the same thing. At the same speed. In the same order. At the same time.

Musk: “Everyone goes through from like 5th grade to 6th grade to 7th grade like it’s an assembly line. But people are not objects on an assembly line.”

The model was designed for a factory economy. Standardized inputs. Predictable outputs.

That economy is gone. The assembly line is gone.

But the education system still runs on its logic.

A student who masters algebra in two weeks sits through eight more weeks because the calendar says so. A student who struggles gets dragged forward because the schedule doesn’t wait.

Neither is being served. Both are being processed.

Musk: “Allow people to progress at the fastest pace that they can or are interested in, in each subject.”

AI doesn’t teach a classroom. It teaches a student.

One at a time. Every time.

It skips what a student already knows. It finds where they’re stuck and approaches it from a different angle.

It adjusts in real time. Not at the end of a semester when the damage is already done.

A student obsessed with basketball learns fractions through shooting percentages. A student who builds in Minecraft learns geometry through architecture.

The subject doesn’t change. The entry point does.

No teacher with thirty students can do this. Not because they lack skill.

Because the math doesn’t work.

AI doesn’t have that constraint.

Musk: “You do not need to tell your kid to play video games. They will play video games on autopilot all day. So if you can make it interactive and engaging, then you can make education far more compelling.”

The brain isn’t broken. The format is.

Kids learn complex systems and strategic thinking for hours voluntarily. Then walk into a classroom and can’t focus for twenty minutes.

That’s not a discipline problem. That’s a design problem.

Musk: “A university education is often unnecessary. You probably learn the vast majority of what you’re going to learn there in the first two years. And most of it is from your classmates.”

Four years. Six figures of debt.

And the real value comes from the people sitting next to you. Not the institution charging you.

The degree doesn’t certify knowledge. It certifies endurance.

Musk: “If the goal is to start a company, I would say no point in finishing college.”

The system was built to train employees. If you’re not trying to be one, it has nothing left to offer you.

Every lecture. Every textbook. Every curriculum. Now available instantly. Personalized to any learner. Adapted to any pace.

The question isn’t whether the old model survives.

It’s how long we keep forcing students through it while the replacement already exists.

Many athletes have moronic political opinions, but I think ripping your country while at the Olympics is indefensible. When you represent the US on the international stage, you should, in my own humble opinion, sing the praises of the greatest country in world history.

Tony Vitello: "I made a selfish decision that was one I needed to make. It's the right decision and I just hope it doesn't give me Lane Kiffin status around here, because I feel like I'm a VFL. I think if someone truly invests in being a VFL for any amount of time, they're just that — a Vol For Life. That's what I am in my mind."

[Tennessee Baseball @Vol_Baseball]

It was one heck of a ride, Coach.

Congratulations to Tony Vitello, making history as the first collegiate head coach to move directly to MLB manager.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Josh Heupel should apologize to the team this week and donate his game check to charity. His play calling today was inexcusably bad.

You can tell a lot about a person by how they react when someone dies.
