May the Purple Reign!

@BucketJonBets That a pepper 🌶️!

[Phil Mackey 🎙 @PhilMackey]

Last night, Purple Daily was recognized w/ a Service to America Award in Washington, D.C. — to honor the work YOU ALL, our amazing audience, did to help raise money in the aftermath of the Annunciation Catholic School shooting last year.

This was a cause that hit very close to home for our guy @DexsTweets.

While we all feel a little uncomfortable receiving recognition in the wake of a horrible tragedy, it is ultimately a reminder that we — Purple Daily, the @skornorth family of podcasts + listeners — are all part of something bigger than just a sports team or a podcast. We are a community. And we should continue to wield these platforms to help people who need it.

You consistently respond whenever we bring causes to the podcasts. And for that, we greatly appreciate you.

Please keep the families of Fletcher Merkel and Harper Moyski in your thoughts. And please know that Annunciation Catholic School still needs more help 🙏🏻

I have never worked this hard on anything in my entire life, but after 2 weeks of work, my #WorldCup betting spreadsheet is finally done.

The World Cup is for everyone, so I’ll be dropping this entire sheet FOR FREE at 5pm ET. All you have to do is drop a like and RT the sheet when it drops to share it with as many people as possible!!

The sheet includes over 50 futures. Everything from outright winners, to individual awards, to group placements and everything in between.

We’ll be tracking all our futures, as well as our pre match and live bets all summer long in the spreadsheet.

This means a lot to me, and I’m really glad that I have an audience to share my time, effort and research with.

Ray’s Rock - Omaha Beach

On the morning of June 6, 1944, 23 year old Staff Sergeant Arnold “Ray” Lambert came ashore with the first wave of the 1st Infantry Division on the eastern side of Omaha Beach. At this small patch of concrete he saved nearly 20 lives:

The division came under intense fire from several German bunkers surrounding the entrance to the Colville Draw (one of two exits off Omaha Beach). Ray, a medic, immediately went to work.

He was shot in the arm. Moments later he was hit by shrapnel in the leg, but Ray kept pulling men to safety. He pulled nearly 20 wounded soldiers to cover behind this 8ft wide obstacle, treating each soldier before going out in search of others.

After several hours under fire, while pulling a wounded soldier from the ocean, he was struck by a landing craft. It dropped its ramp on top of him, breaking his back. He fell face down in the water, drowning. The craft backed up and nearby soldiers pulled an unconscious Ray to safety, eventually evacuating him off the beach.

Remarkably, Ray had already earned two Silver Stars and three Purple Hearts in Sicily and North Africa, prior to landing in France. But here in Normandy his war would end.

He awoke in a hospital back in England a day later. In the next bed over was his brother, who had also been wounded at Omaha.

When asked about his work on D-Day, Ray simply said, “I did what I was called to do.”

Ray Lambert passed in 2021 at 100 years old. He exemplified the best of American grit and why remembering this day is so important.

@SkolBros That looks like pure garbage!

“If you think the world is selfish and rotten, go to the cemetery at Colleville-sur-Mer overlooking Omaha Beach. See what one group of men did for another on D-Day, June 6th, 1944.” — Andy Rooney

🚨 I-75 in Chattanooga just turned into an unscheduled fireworks show! 🔥

A truck full of fireworks caught fire on the freeway near Ooltewah and started launching them everywhere like nature decided to celebrate early. No injuries reported, but traffic was wild.

Who else is glad they weren’t stuck in that lane? 🥴 🇺🇸

Alright, I’m attempting to get a card signed by ANT. Help me get his attention. It’s a long shot but I’m teaching my kids the power of social media 👊🏻.

The cheapest ticket at MSG for game 3 of the NBA Finals is going for $7,500 in section 420. This is the view from that seat.

[Troy Kramer @kramer_troy]

@thorku Well if we found out that KOC didn’t have final say of the 53 roster. And Kwesi had final say on the roster, with a terrible draft record for 4 years.
Hard to blame a coach, but I’m not making excuses but, literally none of our draft picks have made the team.

Few people ever find a niche passion that intersects with a niche talent and at an age when they’re unapologetic about both. Before the world says “you should be embarrassed.”

He’s gonna end up being a world renowned ornithological researcher or educator.
