12-year-old Xavier Taylor from Maple Shade, NJ, remains in extremely critical condition on a ventilator after a heartbreaking freak accident on May 26. ⚾💔
While warming up before a youth baseball game at Fellowship Columbia Bank Field, Xavier — a passionate pitcher/shortstop who lives for the game — was walking back to the dugout when an errant throw from a teammate struck him in the neck. He collapsed and went into cardiac arrest. His dad (a retired firefighter) rushed to him, and Xavier was airlifted to Cooper University Hospital.
His father, Greg Taylor, has stressed it was a complete **freak accident with no one to blame**. Xavier, known for writing Bible verses on his hats and playing on multiple teams, is fighting hard. The family is holding onto faith and miracles.
The community has rallied with prayer vigils, “Bats Out for X,” #6 shirts, and massive support. Videos of the vigils, father’s emotional updates, and local news coverage are circulating widely on TikTok — search #XavierStrong for raw community moments.
**A prayer shared for Xavier & his family:**
“Heavenly Father, we lift up Xavier Taylor to You. You know every detail of his life. Before he needed a miracle, he followed You, prayed to You, and wore Your Scriptures. Surround his family with peace. Lord, we ask for a miracle. In Jesus’ name, Amen.” 🙏
Prayers up for full recovery, strength for the Taylors, and the whole Maple Shade baseball family. He will play again.

Kyle Shanahan and John Lynch talk about when they knew Brock Purdy was going to be legit. Kyle also confirmed that they gave Brock a 4th round grade heading into the 2022 draft
Kyle after Brock’s first game against the Dolphins:
“That night in bed, than might’ve been the first time where I was like 'We might have something special', because I was so sick because I thought we had such a good team and Trey Lance was already on IR and Jimmy Garoppolo just broke his ankle… I’m home that night not even thinking about the game, I was just like how we’re down to our last quarterback. We had such a good team and once I stopped thinking about it in bed, I was like 'Holy shit. Brock played unbelievable tonight'.”

SAUDI ARABIA SAW THIS SHIT COMING 45 YEARS AGO.
The US Navy just ran the same play.
In 1984, the USS Stark got hit in the Persian Gulf and nearly sank.
In 1988, the USS Samuel B. Roberts hit an Iranian mine and almost went down.
The US spent 40 years studying exactly how Iran fights in the Strait — small boats, missiles, drone swarms, saturation attacks designed to overwhelm a single ship.
So when the USS Truxtun and USS Mason crossed Hormuz yesterday under a "sustained barrage" of Iranian small boats, missiles, and drones —
They weren't improvising.
They had AH-64 Apaches overhead.
F-16 fighters on station.
Over 100 aircraft total.
CENTCOM destroyed 6-7 Iranian boats before they got close.
Zero US vessels struck.
Both destroyers crossed.
Two commercial ships crossed with them.
Iran has been running the same attack playbook since 1987.
The US spent 40 years building the answer to it.
Yesterday, they ran the drill for real.

Donte Whitner’s thoughts on Kyle Shanahan and the Brandon Aiyuk situation:
“He responded to that question — “Do you expect to get something in return for Brandon Aiyuk?”, he said “We expect to get something in return for 'it'”, like you’re not even a human. You’re like a creature… Brandon Aiyuk quit on the team. I understand why Kyle Shanahan feels the way that he feels. So when I’m sitting back and watching these meetings with the coaches, I’m not reading the letters. I’m looking at the verbiage. I’m looking at what does he actually mean— 'You fucked us over, Brandon, so now we’re gonna fuck you over. We’re going to hold onto your rights for as long as possible to make it damn near impossible to play'. That’s what’s gonna happen. They really don’t care about a 7th round draft pick. It’s about proving you’re not more powerful than the league and that’s what’s gonna happen.”

🚨BREAKING: President Trump posts DAMNING footage exposing Nancy Pelosi admitting her role in Jan. 6th
"Why weren't the National Guard there? I take responsibility for not having them!"
While national news is glued to Iran, Nebraska is battling the largest wildfire in its history. 4 active fires. 850K+ acres scorched. Cattle and local food chains at risk. Officials say an electrical pole sparked the blaze.
It's 'wild' fire season...(again) or so they say.
My best friends and I had a band in high school.
30 years later, we reunited at the legendary Metro in Chicago for 600 friends, with our wives & kids in the front row. It was hilarious.
We fully committed, raised thousands for charity, and I’ve never had more fun 🤘🏻
Florida Governor told them not to do it.
Florida has a no protester in the road law.
Desantis warned the schools to cut the shit.
I bet the parents are super pissed today.
