It’s absolutely outrageous that I spend $125 on a senior parking spot just to be stuck bc of the parent pickup line. This needs to be fixed @MHSMavs@mcneilstuco @mhspro
Just left the funeral of a friend that took his own life this week. He was one of the nicest, kindest, most selfless people ever always helping others. He would do anything to make someone smile that needed it so it made me think of one of my favorite quotes from the late Robin Williams.
"I think the saddest people always try their hardest to make people happy because they know what it's like to feel absolutely worthless and they don't want anyone else to feel like that."

Most people think life gets easier after the hard times.
Mike Bianco disagrees.
"The hard times don't stop. You just learn to handle hard better."

I’m going to be honest. I’m a huge fan of policing your own. MLB does it. NHL does it. NFL does it. The only way to get players to stop acting like idiots, is to let them know when they are. If a team is going to constantly flop and foul bait, then you may as well get your money’s worth. I’d love to see more of this in the NBA. It’s the only way things are going to get cleaned up. Obviously, the league isn’t going to fix it.

He was told a month earlier he would not get to do both. He knew it. It wasn't news to him that final weekend. Some of us on the beat wrote about that, talked about that, etc. That was never an option. Everyone knew it.
We assumed he had and affair or job interviews.
We were wrong, he was picking his daughter up from school.
His wife had left the previous year. Custody agreement said 3:15 pickup. No aftercare at her school and court won't budge.He tried to move the hours and HR said "sets precedent."
So he chose his kid and a PIP.
He told us during his exit interview.
"Disappearing" sometimes means
not everyone with a secret is stealing time, some are just out of options.
We have a guy at my firm. Let’s call him David. David is a senior manager, always the first to crack a joke, buys the team lunch on Fridays, and dresses impeccably. A true "stand-up guy" who seems to have his entire life figured out.
But nobody knew that for the past 8 months, David has been going home to a completely empty 1-bedroom apartment, sleeping on a single mattress on the floor. His colleagues just assume his family relocated abroad. The truth? Family court stripped him of everything.
He spent 12 years breaking his back to build a beautiful home for his wife and two daughters. When the marriage crashed, the court ordered him out to "maintain stability for the kids." He left with just a suitcase. Now, he pays the rent for that big house, plus their school fees, while struggling to feed himself.
But the money isn't even the worst part. It’s the crippling silence. David went from waking up to his daughters jumping on his bed every morning, to having to negotiate with his ex for a 5-minute WhatsApp video call. He was legally demoted to an "every other weekend" uncle.
Men are carrying mountains of grief and hiding it behind office banter and hanging out with the boys. David sits at the lounge with the guys after work, laughing and buying drinks. But when he drives home, he sits in his parked car for an hour in the dark just to cry before facing his empty apartment.
Society has convinced us that a man's heartbreak over losing his family isn't valid. We expect them to lose their homes, their daily access to their kids, and their peace of mind, and just show up to work on Monday in a suit like nothing happened.
Check on your strong male friends. The system is breaking them in half, and they are bleeding out in absolute silence.
