#49ers George Kittle on The Rams trading for Myles Garrett:
"Myles is a fantastic player. He's a defensive MVP for a reason, broke the sack record for a reason. He's an amazing football player. It just kind of changes up how you have to play against the Rams.
You make a game plan around him, and make the rest of the team beat you. Just don't let the best defensive player in the league beat you on every single snap. It's going to be a huge challenge.
Like I said, he's incredible. But hey, we've got incredible players too, and I love a great challenge. It's going to be really fun."

Scott Pelley responds to Trump saying he doesn’t care about the country: “I’ve never worn the uniform, but I’ve been in combat for this country. In Afghanistan, and Iraq, Kuwait. Been shot at. Spent nights in foxholes filling up with water in the desert. I’m not aware that the president has ever done any of those things for his country. You become a journalist because you love the First Amendment, you love the country. While all the other descriptions the president used about me might be applicable, not that one”
Roger Federer dropped some real wisdom in his Dartmouth commencement speech:
He won nearly 80% of his 1,526 professional matches, but only 54% of the points he played.
Even one of the greatest tennis players of all time lost almost half his points.
His lesson: Don’t dwell on every mistake. A double fault, a lost point, even a bad day, it’s just one point. The champions move on quickly with the same focus and fire for the next one.
This is one of the best mindset lessons I’ve heard in a long time. It applies way beyond tennis.
Life is full of losses and setbacks. The difference between average and exceptional is how quickly you reset and keep playing.
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Whatever [the next outbreak] is, we ain’t ready for it. We still have anti-vaxxers running around.”
“I don’t trust scientists. I saw a YouTube video, so I’m not going to take it.” (mocking)
“I don’t want you to ever forget this story.”
“20,000 years ago, we’re in the cave. Do you know what the life expectancy was?”
Shannon Sharpe: “10 years? 15 years?”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “30. Half of everyone born was dead before they were 30.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Wow!!!”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “Fast forward to 1840… everyone born in the world was dead by the age of 35. We gained five years of life expectancy. And every one of them ate organic, breathed clean air… Science matters here.”
“We’ve doubled the life expectancy with antibiotics, vaccines, and sanitation. The three biggest forces operating on our longevity. So to come around and say I don’t need vaccines because I’m not getting sick, that’s like saying, why are you using dandruff shampoo? You don’t have dandruff.”
Shannon Sharpe: “Well, I don’t want to get it.”
Neil deGrasse Tyson: “That’s my point. If you’re successful, people think you don’t need it when that’s what’s creating the ongoing success in the first place.”
UTEP football quietly secured a summer signing from QB Braesen León from Ventura College.

Congratulation to the Knicks on their Game 1 NBA Finals win. Their coach, Mike Brown, is a big 49ers fan and has let that be known in press conferences
Build a football stadium at the Candlestick location and eliminate the hillside next to 101 and create mixed-use retail, commercial and residential … leverage the bay for ferry transportation

Trent Williams is in the 49ers building and looks to be an active OTA participant in the video they posted.
SF has perfect offseason attendance from all players not on the Left Squad list, including from the future Hall of Famer who'll be lined up vs Myles Garrett this season
UTEP VB’s schedule is now out‼️
Some early notes:
🟠 Tough P4 games early on with TCU, Baylor, and Arizona
🔵 Mountain West is WIDE OPEN next year
🟠 The Miners lose some major pieces in Lovesee, Weaver, and Gant but being able to retain Uskokovic for another season is crucial
🔵 Can this squad “win the big game”
Dietrich Bonhoeffer wrote this in late 1942, before his arrest, as part of "After Ten Years," reflecting on a decade of Nazi rule:
“Against stupidity, we are defenseless. Neither protests nor the use of force accomplish anything here; reasons fall on deaf ears.”
Bonhoeffer argued that stupidity is more dangerous than malice, as it makes people susceptible to propaganda and blind to evil by suppressing critical thought and personal responsibility.
He was later imprisoned and executed for his association with the resistance.
Alex Zendejas, born in Ciudad Juárez and raised in El Paso, has officially been selected to the United States Men’s National Team.
This will be Zendejas’ first World Cup appearance.
He and Ricardo Pepi will represent El Paso, Texas on soccer’s biggest stage this summer.
Two El Pasoans representing the Stars and Stripes in the 2026 World Cup that will take place in the United States is beyond special. #USMNT#WorldCup
