Whenever I’m
Asked about the greatest Sports Movies ever made, I always say “after Brian’s Song?” Those of us that were alive for ABC’s Movie 🎥 of The Weeks” knew and watched it. So many generations have come and gone since, but for me? It’s like greatest Rock Bands. I’ll ask, “ya mean after the Beatles?”🙏🏈
With all of my running and all of my cunning
If I couldn't laugh I just would go insane
If we couldn't laugh we just would go insane
If we weren't all crazy we would go insane
The three stages of me hearing Rhinestone Cowboy:
1. “Oh, great, this song. I’m gonna change the station …”
2. “Maybe one more verse …”
3. “LIKE A RHINESTONE COWBOYYYY … RIDIN’ OUT ON A HORSE IN A STAR-SPANGLED RODEOOOOO …”
History during his first and last games at Magnolia Field.
And a lot of fun moments in between.
Thanks @Tycea_11 for choosing Baylor to play your final season!
On May 7, 2026, it was an honor to welcome U.S. Army Captain (Ret.) Leslie Nicole Smith to her brand new specially adapted smart home built by the Gary Sinise Foundation.
I have known Leslie for over 20 years and watched her face incredible challenges during, and since her military service, including the loss of her leg due to a blood infection contracted while serving in Bosnia 2001-2002, and also much of her eyesight. She is legally blind. Yet she continues to live with remarkable strength, positivity, and a deep commitment to helping other veterans and their families.
She is an inspiration to so many of us, and I’m grateful we could provide a home that will support her for years to come. Welcome home, Leslie.
Today in 1991, 44-year-old Nolan Ryan fires his 7th career no-hitter. With over 5000 career innings pitched on his odometer, the Express strikes out 16 Blue Jays including Hall of Famer Roberto Alomar to end it.
On August 8, 1982, a line drive foul ball hit a four year old boy in the head at Fenway Park. Jim Rice, realizing it would take EMTs too long to arrive and cut through the crowd, sprang from the dugout and scooped up the boy...
He laid the boy gently on the dugout floor, where the Red Sox medical team began to treat him.
When the boy arrived at the hospital thirty minutes later, doctors said, without a doubt, that Jim's prompt actions saved the boy's life.
Jim returned to the game in a blood-stained uniform.
A true badge of courage.
After visiting the boy in the hospital, and realizing the family was of modest means, he stopped by the business office and instructed that the bill be sent to him.
This is what a real sports hero looks like.
"Love is patient. Love is kind."
Thank you Jim Rice for who you are and for all you do.
Hey folks, today I’d like to take a moment to share something deeply personal with you.
Over the past few years, my family has walked through a season of profound love and loss. My son Mac was a remarkable young man, full of talent, heart, and purpose. An incredible musician and composer, in 2018 Mac was diagnosed with a rare bone cancer and our family entered a journey that none of us could have prepared for.
A little over two years ago I went to work writing my second book, sharing his story, as well as challenges and blessings our family experienced along the way, the love that held us together, the faith that sustained us, the grief that changed us, and how we continue to move forward daily with a strength we didn’t know we had.
And now Thomas Nelson and @People Magazine begin the next part of this journey.
This book is for Mac. It’s also for anyone who has faced loss, uncertainty, or hardship, and is searching for a line of hope in the middle of it. Something I feel I needed to do to help with my own healing.
I’m thankful to People for sharing the launch of our presale today. Graceful Warrior: The True Story of a Son, a Father, and a Family Who Carried Each Other Through is now available for preorder and will officially be released on Mac’s birthday, Nov 10th.
Thank you for your consideration.

Oh, yesterdays are over my shoulder
So I can't look back for too long
There's just too much to see waiting in front of me
And I know that I just can't go wrong
With these changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes…
There’s a guy who could have been aborted
Raised by a single mom
Experienced poverty
His father struggled with alcoholism and abandoned the family
But he went on to become one of the biggest Christian actors in Hollywood—defending unborn babies
That man is Chuck Norris
Martial arts grandmaster and action star Chuck Norris has died, his family said in a statement. He was 86.
Norris was a six-time undefeated World Professional Middleweight Karate champion. He founded the United Fighting Arts Federation, as well as a style of karate sometimes known as Chun Kuk Do.
Chuck Norris has passed away at 86 years of age. Heaven is a lot stronger and humanity is a lot weaker now.
He was 1 of 1. There is no replacing him.
RIP Chuck 🙏
