@dtovitz This is always what people should have expected. All indications are he wants to go through the process. Only question I have is why he took so long to announce it. Feel like he could have done this 2 weeks ago.

Does anybody know the difference between declaring for the draft. And declaring for the draft while retaining eligibility? #nbadraft

For decades, this episode lived in my subconscious as a vague fever dream. Was it real? Did I really see it? Thankful to finally see a rerun a couple years ago that confirmed: yes it was real & yes it was really weird. The tunnel. Wow what a memory.

I was five when The Six Million Dollar Man and Bionic Woman fought Sasquatch. Still not over it.
Bigfoot casually tossing Lee Majors (87 today) and Lindsay Wagner around. Then mysterious alien engineers, and that goddamn tunnel.
How to traumatise a generation in one go.

@billyderrick10 Great vision and instincts!

This is absolutely fascinating. In 1977, a 109 year old woman born in 1868 is interviewed about her life.

When asked whether she has ever been on an airplane, she says never, but that she might now because she is “more venturesome.”

When asked about the biggest change she has seen, she replies:

“Everything. Nothing is the same.”

Living from the horse and buggy days to the jet age in one lifetime.

I also love the way she commands the English language. It feels like an art form that has been lost over time.

@TowerOfLondon @VCCcadets Gorgeous day for it.

@nash_vandy1994 @Sam_Federman @mcfNBA Don’t forget Big Lev. I’m expecting a big jump from him. He has the size. More importantly he has the attitude No fear. (Came in against UK and posterized their prized big man. Dunked right in his face!) to be a big help. Likely off the bench. But should be a good backup piece.

[John Wallace @jwallace]

@anchorofgold @AuricGoldfnger Big Lev also said he wanted to come back at some point. Don’t think it was real until we saw the actual announcement come through official channels several weeks later. The money has to be right.

Principal Kirk Moore, who tackled the school shooter, walked into prom a few days later to a huge celebration from the students and was named prom king.

@DickieV You got this. I’ll be praying for you. You’ve proven to be one of the toughest warriors this world has ever seen. God bless you. You’re an inspiration.

@PGATOUR He’s jumping at from the top a little bit.

Can’t believe Carolina isn’t giving Stackhouse a shot. He was SEC Coach or the Year. He didn’t win as much as people wanted. But it’s Vanderbilt. That’s like fighting with one arm tied behind your back.

@chrismithunc @randy_messinger I saw it reported that his buy-out “didn’t change significantly” it was already $10mil or a bit more. That’s a lot already; so wouldn’t expect it to change too much. Likely, changed things like when or if it drops or expires. Maybe upped it slightly. But $10 mil is a lot.

[John Wallace @jwallace]

We’re fortunate to have ADCSL as our fearless leader. Tremendous work here.

"God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die"

16 yr old Corion Evans was hanging out with his friends when he saw a car PLUNGE into the Pascagoula River in Mississippi.

3 teenage girls began screaming for help as the car quickly sank.

Evans immediately sprang into action, diving in to rescue the girls.

When asked where his bravery came from, he replied "God gave me strength, I couldn't let them folks die."

Police Officer Gary Mercer assisted Evans with the rescue, but he began to drown as well when one of the panicking victims tried to pull him under.

Despite being out of breath with exhausted legs, Evans swam back AGAIN to rescue both the Officer and the 3rd teen girl.

Four people are alive today because a young man put the lives of others before his own.

He truly is a hero. 🎖
