Dana White: "My oldest son hits me up today and says, 'Dad, don't argue with me, but I wanna tattoo the American flag on my back.' I said, 'You're not tattooing a flag on your back. I'll buy you an American flag shirt.. for the rest of your life.'"
Why couldn't God just forgive sin?
Why did Jesus have to die?
Couldn't an all-powerful God simply declare everyone forgiven and move on?
This is the most important question in all of theology.
And the answer reveals something about God's nature that most Christians have never fully grasped.
A thread on why the cross was the only way. 🧵
John Roberts gets it right. Viewing myself as the show’s biggest star-in 1985 I boldly accused my boss ABCNews chief Roone Arledge of killing a colleague’s 20/20 piece on the Kennedys because of his personal connection to them. He fired me the next day. The show survived my exit.
Tom Brady reveals the overlooked reason practice squad players never succeed in the NFL
It’s not a lack of talent.
Brady watched it happen for 20 years. The pattern was undeniable.
As soon as a practice squad player got promoted and had to perform under real pressure, they crumbled. It took years for Brady to understand why.
“There’s 53 guys on the active roster and there’s now 15 guys on the practice squad. So there’s 68 players. But those practice squad players are important because if anybody on the active roster gets hurt, they can get elevated to the squad.”
“These scout team receivers would come in and practice with the scout team and they do really well. And I’d be watching. I’m like, ‘Man, we got to get that guy. Let’s get him up on offense. He’s making a lot of plays.’”
“Then all of a sudden, we’re like, ‘Hey man, you’re doing really well. You got to come over here and deal with the pressure of succeeding now that you have expectation.’”
“And these guys are like, they weren’t prepared for it. So whatever we saw in practice against where there was not a lot of pressure, now when they’re put in a situation where there’s an expectation for performance, they’ve never had to personally deal with that and then they fail.”
“And then what I realized was a lot of guys on those practice squads, they don’t want to be elevated to the roster.”
“They’re very happy living this life where they could tell their family and friends, which I have no problem with that. But the reality is a lot of guys don’t want the pressure of dealing with top.”
Twenty years in the league and seven Super Bowl rings later, Brady learned that talent wasn’t the hardest thing to find.
It was people who actually wanted the pressure that comes with being great.
This was one of the funniest Olympic moments! 😂 😂
