America turns 250 today.

Let me read back the resume.

We started by telling a king to pound sand, in writing.

By 1803 we bought half a continent from France for about four cents an acre.

We fought a war with ourselves and somehow stayed one country.

We strung a railroad across the entire thing.

We handed the world the lightbulb, the telephone, and the airplane in about thirty years flat.

Then a man named Willis Carrier invented air conditioning and made half the planet actually livable.

You are welcome, Texas. You are welcome, Dubai.

Twice the whole world caught fire, and twice we showed up and helped put it out.

We split the atom.

We put men on the moon in 1969.

Then we went back and hit golf balls up there, because why not.

We invented jazz, blues, rock and roll, and hip-hop, and the whole planet is still dancing to it.

We put a burger and fries on every corner of the earth.

We built rockets that fly themselves home and land standing straight up.

We flew a helicopter on Mars.

We launched a car into actual space and it is still out there cruising.

We also invented ranch dressing and somehow talked the entire world into putting it on pizza.

Priorities.

We even invented three of our own sports so we could win them.

Baseball, basketball, and football.

Real football, the kind with hands, because we named it and we are not taking corrections.

The rest of the planet can keep soccer, which is fine, we are hosting it in our backyard this summer anyway.

And yes, Canadian football exists, wider field, extra man, one fewer down, and we try very hard not to think about it.

Frankly it was generous of us to invent our own games.

If we put all that energy into soccer, nobody else would ever lift that trophy again.

We would win it so often they would just rename it the America’s Cup and hand us the keys.

You are welcome for the suspense.

And in 2026 we threw a birthday so big a German tourist live-tweeted our gas stations to 750,000 people.

Not every chapter was clean.

We argued, we stumbled, we fixed what we broke, and we kept building.

That is the whole trick.

Two hundred and fifty years in, and we are still the loudest, brightest, most improbable experiment on the map.

Not bad for a country that started as a strongly worded letter to a king.

Happy birthday, America.

CHILLS. ABSOLUTE CHILLS.

@GBSHansO $88 entry fee is steep. How many days/matches does that cover?

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@powellc88 @FOXSoccer Thought the same thing. Just learned that the rule is the second-to-last defender (typically the goalie is the last defender but not in this instance)

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@byusoftball @BYUCougars The voice of the Cougars
@ScottyGZone well done on the call

[Ben @MrGoodlyCooks]

I don’t follow hockey, but this had me tearing up. They brought their teammate’s (who was killed by a drunk driver) kids out onto the ice with their dad’s jersey to celebrate the moment. 🥹

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@975Hans Went with my wife last night on your recommendation. You undersold it… it’s so good!

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

Any @BYUfootball fans that are worried about the future of their defense after the loss of Jay Hill need to listen to this!

[Hans Olsen @GBSHansO]

We're excited to be joined by coach Gary Andersen right now. Talking coaching departures and continuity.

@jaromjordan Then the big question from ESPN is how do we keep 3 big 12 teams out of it….

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@BooznCoug Congrats kid… it’s a great life to live but this is sometimes a yearly thing we get to go through. You’ll be better for it and you’ll always be able to find people that have felt the same thing wherever you travel! #gocougs

@ScottyGZone @USUVolleyball Only team from Utah to win their first round game after Utah and BYU both lost yesterday (UVU to play theirs later today). Keep it up Aggies!

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@JonHaidt @Catherine_Price Pre-ordered without having to see the review. The Anxious Generation was so good, I knew I needed this for my growing daughters. Thanks for doing the good work!

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@gregwrubell @975Hans love listening to #byucpl on my drive home from Dallas after watching the volleyball team beat TCU in 4 sets. Big wins all around for the cougars today!

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@975Hans How many fans need to sign the petition to allow you to do film review? You know BYU fans could get this done. @Big12Conference

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

#byucpl 7, 23

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

@CoachJacobsonTJ That was big time!

[Davey Cavaness @dqcavaness]

After this game we made a field goal post out of PVC pipe and taped a red toy football to the post and put it in our neighbor's yard, all before they got home from the game that was played only 30 minutes away. @975Hans
