Arch Manning’s stat line doesn’t tell the full story of this incredible comeback win against Ohio State.
23/37 196 yards TD, INT, 22 yards rushing
What’s missed is he didn’t panic when his WR dropped an easy touchdown…
Or when a drop turned into an int…
Or when Texas was down 23-3 in the 4th…
As the leader of his team he just keep fighting.
He and his Longhorn teammates just kept swinging and rattled off 21 unanswered points while playing suffocating defense.
It’s a message to all of us who love the game of football, that football is just like life.
It doesn’t always go your way every single day, play, week, drive month or quarter.
But as long as you don’t give up, you have a chance to turn it all around and end up winning in the end.
Never give up.
Michael Phelps won 23 Olympic gold medals using a mental technique most athletes ignore:
"The biggest thing that really separated me through my career was my mental game. Everything that was in between my ears."
Michael explains how he used visualization:
"When I would visualize, I'd visualize every single thing getting up to a meet, probably a month or so in advance. What could happen. What I want to happen. And what I don't want to happen. Because when it happened, I was prepared for it."
He describes the goal:
"When I got to a swim meet, there's nothing I can control at that point except what I do. I can't control what anybody else does. So I want to know how the race could go, how I don't want the race to go, and in a perfect world, how the race should go. So I could get behind the block and not have to think about anything."
His coach Bob Bowman reveals how they trained this skill:
"When Michael was young, I gave his mom a book of progressive relaxation. Before he'd go to bed at night, she would read this progression of things: clench your fists, work through your whole body. He got so good she'd just open the book, say two things, and he'd be asleep."
Bowman explains why visualization works:
"The brain cannot distinguish between something that's vividly visualized and something that's real. By the time Michael steps up on the block at the Olympics, he's swum that race hundreds of times in his mind. All he has to do is shut everything down and it goes on autopilot."
Michael adds the key detail most miss:
"When I would visualize, it would be what you want it to be, what you don't want it to be, what it could be. So you're always ready for anything. If I have a suit rip, fine, I need another suit, put it on. Any small thing that could go wrong, I'm ready for."
The First Spurs Playoff Game in San Antonio.
Before the banners…
Before the parades…
Before the championships…
There was a bus ride.
April 3, 1974.
My friend Steve “The Original Rock” DiRocco was 14.
I was 13.
Too young to drive… but not too young to believe.
So we caught a bus from the Medical Center to downtown San Antonio.
Two kids chasing something we didn’t fully understand yet… but felt in our bones.
Hope.
Belonging.
Magic.
Inside Hemisfair Arena, the Spurs were still new to the city… still finding their place… just like we were.
But that night?
Everything felt possible.
The Spurs took the floor against the favored Indiana Pacers… and something electric filled the air.
Pat Tallman on the P.A. microphone.
Terry Stembridge on the radio call (there was no TV that night).
Dancing Harry grooving above the visitor's locker room with his Lone Star beer and moving to "Cotton Eye Joe."
Swen Nater dominated with 27 points and 15 rebounds.
A young George Gervin glided across the court with 23 points and 11 boards, already hinting at greatness.
And superstar George McGinnis brought the fight for Indiana.
But this was San Antonio’s night.
115–96.
A statement.
A spark.
A beginning.
The Spurs took a 2–1 lead… and two early teenage boys in the stands felt like they were part of something bigger than themselves.
We were in Heaven.
All was right with the world.
We didn’t know then that the ABA title would never come…
That it would take 25 more years to win it all.
That patience would be part of the journey.
We only knew this:
We were there.
At the beginning.
And sometimes, that’s the most sacred place to be.
Tonight, as the Spurs tip off their 404th playoff game in franchise history.
I’ll think about that bus ride.
That arena.
That night.
And being there with Steve.
And I’ll smile.
Because long before the championships…
There were two kids, a dream,
and the first spark of belief. 🖤🏀

JJ Spaun said he started today going to CVS at 3 a.m. because his daughter was throwing up. Ended it winning the U.S. Open on Father’s Day.
Maybe the most dad life Sunday of all time.
Texas A&M baseball was the preseason No. 1 team in the country and finished 14th in the SEC and will most likely miss the NCAA tournament.
Texas A&M softball entered the postseason as the No. 1 team in the country and just became the first top seed ever to fail to get out of their own regional.
Unbelievable stuff.
Here is President Trump’s new Surgeon General of the United States nominee, Dr. Casey Means, exposing the health industry and woke medical schools for six minutes straight.
It’s safe to say she is the perfect pick:
I believe I treated one of Mel Gibson's friends, he describes in this clip.😃
Ivermectin and Fenbendazole treatments for cancer are going mainstream! Big pharma is not happy.

BAKING SODA is the most overlooked medicine on Earth.
It fights cancer, kills inflammation, and reduces stress—yet costs pennies per dose.
Recently, I’ve been digging into its healing properties.
What I found is mind-blowing: 🧵
This is UNREAL
Never in my life did I ever think that I would have a podcast platform getting appreciated during a Presidential Victory Speech
Thank you @danawhite
And congratulations to the 298th guest on @BussinWTB (and the 47th President of the USA..) @realDonaldTrump
Need help urgently. Please post the best examples of lib meltdowns in the thread below. I'm deeply concerned that I may be missing some of the best ones. I don't want to miss any because they make me very happy. Thank you.
