You have been given your mission, gentlemen.

[Robert Burns @itsRobertBurns]

$OPEN

To @nejatian @rabois @shrisha @ericwu01 and the Opendoor leadership team,

I’d like to FORMALLY apply for the role of Director of Sports Partnerships at Opendoor.

The mission is straightforward:

Build brand awareness through athlete and sports partnerships that directly drive revenue.

I’m confident this approach will create extraordinary value for the company. And rest assured, my vision doesn’t involve shallow stunts (like Ashton Jeanty shirtless in a tub with his mom nearby). I’m thinking much bigger, far more organic, and with strategies that scale

Here’s what we need to do:

Partner with Athletes in Key Markets:
Align with players where Opendoor operates heavily (Dallas, Atlanta, Phoenix). Athletes become authentic brand ambassadors tied to their communities.

Create Campaigns that Convert:
Move beyond just impressions. Think: “Sell with Opendoor, Win Season Tickets” or “Locker Room to Living Room” style activations.

Show Up Where Sports Culture Lives: College NIL deals, local team partnerships, and community events, not just national ads.

Make the Brand More Personable:
Build content where athletes walk fans through their homes, talk about moving cities, or highlight family life. It’s relatable, human, and drives trust.

My Proposal
No base salary for 2 years
Instead, I request shares

Opendoor shares
to vest against agreed-upon milestones.

For an example:

Current Baseline
Instagram: 47k followers
Twitter (X): 27k followers

I am confident I can 3x these numbers within 9 months by building authentic athlete-driven brand equity and partnerships that translate into measurable growth.

Through social media, I’ve consistently turned activations int. Today, I manage two Instagram pages that together surpass 1.5M monthly views.

My Background
2 years in the NFL
Captain, UConn Football (Class of 2022)

University of Miami
2x
Undergraduate; Communications
Graduate; Music Business

UConn
MBA

Built and launched 2 tech apps (with fluency in AI & tech infrastructure)

Proven entrepreneurial drive..

My wife & I once generated $15k in one semester selling donuts in college, like literal actual donuts 🍩

Why Me

You’re getting the guy who can read a 10-K and also read a defense 😅. And I can clearly read that we’re building the biggest tech company in America’s most important sector: housing.

I am uniquely positioned to help Opendoor catalyze the next wave of growth:

By connecting housing with sports culture in a way that’s authentic, scalable, and community-driven.

By creating partnerships that don’t just generate impressions, but transactions.

By bridging my background in athletics, tech, and entrepreneurship to redefine what sports partnerships can mean for the future of real estate.

And again, you don’t have to pay me a salary. I only want to earn upside by delivering upside.

Let’s make this happen.

Best regards,
Your Future Sports Marketer Guy

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

Great question @TheoVon.

Why not vote on the binding Massie-Khanna Epstein legislation this week @SpeakerJohnson ?

We should not punt this until after the 5 week recess, nor should we wait for my discharge petition to ripen and collect the required signatures to force the vote.

[Collin Rugg @CollinRugg]

NEW: Matt Walsh sends a message to the Trump administration over the Epstein case.

"We want those people to be dragged in front of us, weeping and begging for mercy..."

"Millions of Americans are not satisfied with what we've been told, and we shouldn't be..."

"I want to make this very clear to those on the right, including the President himself, who are telling us to just drop the subject and move on. We can't drop it. We can't move on."

"Because what we want is justice. We have a deep desire for justice. And we can see how the corrupt and the powerful are never held accountable."

"We want these evildoers to be punished. We want the innocent to be defended. We want justice. It's one of the most basic and most honorable of all human desires."

"We want to see that justice is done. We want to know who else was in those awful videos that Pam Bondi told us about."

"We want those people to be dragged in front of us, weeping and begging for mercy."

"We want them exposed and humiliated and shamed and punished in the harshest and most painful way, because that's justice."

"And we're not going to drop the subject until we get it."

US government needs to release the Epstein list, and be fully transparent about everything related to this case.

And don't treat the public like we're idiots. Otherwise trust is completely shattered.

It's obvious. Do the right thing.

What was lost when the Library of Alexandria burned?

Well — our entire knowledge of the Greco-Roman world comes from about 500 volumes. 700,000 scrolls were potentially lost at Alexandria alone.

Here's what was in there... (thread) 🧵
