Retired 4-Star Navy Admiral and former Navy SEAL William McRaven on Donald Trump: "Through your actions, you have embarrassed us in the eyes of our children, humiliated us on the world stage and, worst of all, divided us as a nation."

RETWEET if you stand with Admiral McRaven!

McAfee said before the game this officiating crew would "let them play," and he wasn't kidding. They don't call anything,

I was on the call for the entertaining ASUN conference play tip-off on New Years Day! Here are a few of my calls in Austin Peay's 71-65 victory over Jacksonville.

MIKE LEACH ON EMBRACING HARD

"Nothing is really fun unless it's hard ...

You're pushing yourself. All of a sudden you're making great plays.

You're doing things that you've never done before...

Never hope that it's easy."

This past week, I was on the call for the Jacksonville University Women's basketball game. It was an unbelievable experience with hopefully many more to come in the future!

I can't thank the crew - especially my partner, Scott Kornberg - enough for making my debut memorable!

How can you not be romantic about baseball?

You couldn’t make this stuff up. And fortunately, because baseball is awesome, you don't have to.

Joey Gallo is one of the best coaches in the nation, regardless of level

This clip shows his energy & attention to detail

His “Creating Chaos” zone defense has become famous and to watch him break down the details is pure gold

The Star-Spangled Banner is not easy to sing. It’s rangy, for one thing. One and a half octaves are a lot to ask of the average citizen, as is the chromaticism throughout the melody. Also, the words are a mouthful and easy to mangle or forget (Just google “worst renditions of National Anthem,” and strap in. The number of professional musicians who have unilaterally beclowned themselves for posterity is mind-boggling).

Personally, though, I’m more appalled by the professionals who remember all the words and hit every note perfectly but make the whole thing about themselves. This, I think, is the biggest reason most people don’t sing along as they should. It’s not because they “can’t sing” or because they’re embarrassed to sing in front of other people. It’s because of all these pop stars and professional musicians who have turned the privilege of singing our national anthem in public into a showcase for their own talent.

Consider the famous renditions from people, like Whitney Houston, Alicia Keyes, Jose Feliciano, Marvin Gaye, and most recently, Chris Stapleton. Each give excellent performances that put their talent on full display. But that’s the problem—all these performances with all these individual interpretations have turned We the People into an audience of passive meat bags, standing mutely in stadiums and arenas all over the country, when we should sing along with unbridled enthusiasm. We don’t do this, however, because our national anthem has morphed from something participatory into something performative. And that sucks.

If it were up to me, I’d require anyone invited to sing our National Anthem at a public event to do so in less than a minute. That’s right. One minute. After 60 seconds, your microphone is cut. Implementing this one, simple requirement would have myriad benefits, some of which I discuss and demonstrate in the attached video. Consider it a Star-Spangled Public Service Announcement from the Dirty Jobs Guy to all those honored to lead us in song.

Happy Birthday, America!

Mike

Candace Parker gets emotional telling a story about Pat Summitt and her influence. It’s worth a minute of your time.

Coaches are so important.
