I reread this every year.

I cry like a baby every year.

Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.

Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.

Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?

Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.

Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.

Lisa: Are you okay?

Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.

Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?

Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.

Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.

Lisa: I promise.

Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.

Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)

Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.

Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.

Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.

Lisa: What are you going to do?

Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.

Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

There are moments in sport when the scoreboard becomes irrelevant, when what unfolds in front of us feels less like competition and more like history. Under the lights of Rod Laver Arena tonight, Novak Djokovic @DjokerNole stood across the net from time itself—and refused to step aside.

He didn’t win the historic 11th Australian Open title. And yet, what Novak produced felt even more improbable than just another record. At the age of 38, he played on equal terms with Carlos Alcaraz @carlosalcaraz, the best player in the world today—a player who was just ONE year old when Novak played his first Australian Open.

Let that sink in.

This wasn’t a symbolic appearance or a nostalgic echo of former greatness. This was Novak Djokovic competing, suffering, adapting, and believing at the highest possible level—against youth, speed, and the new era embodied in Alcaraz. Nobody in tennis has ever managed anything remotely close to this. Not across eras. Not across generations. Not with this level of relevance.

What we saw in Australia was courage in its purest form. The courage to step onto the biggest stage knowing that time, physics, and history are stacked against you—and conquering it anyway.

Novak’s greatness has never been only about his innumerable titles—it is about his character. About standing alone. About enduring doubt, pressure, and expectation, and still showing up with the same fire.

That is why he belongs in the company of figures larger than sport itself. Like Muhammad Ali, he carried conviction and fought battles far beyond the scoreboard. And he will continue doing so.

Novak Djokovic didn’t lose in Melbourne tonight. He showed us what timeless greatness looks like.

[Jason @Certinfy]

Just a kind reminder to everyone.

If Novak Djokovic never wins Grand Slam #25, it won’t be because of the Wimbledon 2023 Final choke, it won’t be because of his level dropping off in the Australian Open 2026 Final and it won’t be because of anything similar to those things in other big matches.

Instead it will be because of being unfairly defaulted during the US Open in 2020 alongside Wimbledon being cancelled the same year and not being allowed to play the Australian Open and US Open in 2022 due to ridiculous COVID restrictions.

If this sport was actually “fair” his Grand Slam count would be far higher than 24 already and we all know it.

The fact despite all this he’s still ahead of everyone else just shows how he really is by quite a distance the greatest of all time.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Djokovic beats Jannik Sinner 3-6 6-3 4-6 6-4 6-4

WHAT A MATCH.

Novak knocks out the 2-time defending champion.

An absolute masterclass in pushing yourself to the limit.

He is into his 38th Grand Slam final and his 11th Australian Open final.

First Slam final since Wimbledon 2024.

After losing 5 consecutive matches against Jannik, he breaks the streak.

He snaps Jannik’s 20 match win streak at tour level and his 19 match win streak at the Australian Open.

This will go down as one of the greatest performances of his career.

38 years old… just when you thought he’s done it all… he does this.

If you earn $200,000 annually at your current job and a company with a larger brand and more resources approaches you with an offer of $275,000 for the same position, would you choose to stay or accept the pay raise? The logical choice is to accept the pay raise because you have earned it.

This is why LR left for USC, it’s why Kalen left for Bama. If you are a Georgia Tech fan and your coach receives a call to become the head coach at Ole Miss, for instance, your head coach will likely leave for Ole Miss.

Kiffin deserves this opportunity. He is not the problem. The NCAA schedule is the issue.

15 years! Not going to lie, I had some time to reflect this week on the past 15 years. As to be expected, there were some rough times along this journey, but I can truly say these past 15 years have also been incredible as well. I’m so thankful to you all of you. Keep bELieving!
