Don't harm opossums! They’re harmless and actually really useful. They keep pests in check (eating ticks, roaches, rats, and scorpions), clean up dead animals, and help spread seeds. Basically, they’re nature’s cleanup crew
“I don't think anyone in this generation could've played like 20-years ago" - Kevin Garnett 2025
KG being hyperbolic but he discusses how freedom of movement rules (2004-05+) took a lot of physicality out of the game
You agree or nah?
Shia LaBeouf says the LA he grew up in has disappeared especially the Chicano culture that gave the city its identity.
“the socioeconomics of LA changed, and the spirit left. And it's gone now. LA is dead…
The culture doesn't exist anymore. The car culture's gone, the dance culture's gone, the bar culture is gone. It's all gone. I know it's gone 'cause I’m firsthand watching it go away.
Temple Street in LA used to be a cultural mecca. This is where gang culture first birthed. Temple Street and Glendale, that is the birthplace of gang culture in all of America. Temple Street's the oldest gang in America. This is also socioeconomics.”
Luke Kuechly says he knew it was time to retire from the NFL because he was no longer 100% mentally committed to hitting players at full force
“I used to just go smack dudes and have no issues. And I would go hit a guy and I’m like, ‘Yeah, that didn’t really feel great.’ And so then, once you make the decision in your mind, I’m not all the way in it… like the last game of the year, I was like, ‘I’m done. I’m done’”
“I just remember after that game, I was like, ‘Yeah, you don’t got it anymore. You don’t have it.’ I would've been fine if I physically slowed down. Can’t run as well, not as fast, maybe I’m not as physical. Maybe I don’t have the same fire. I would have been fine with that and I would have probably milked it out a little bit more”
“Once I knew it was my head, mentally, it’s either yes or no. If you slow down, physically, you can still play football hard, play it fast and play with great effort. But once I knew mentally, it’s not any of that, I couldn’t rationalize. I can’t play as hard as I want to. My effort’s not going to be there. I can’t be as physical. It’s not fair to the guys on the team, and it’s not fair to the coaches, and it’s not fair to the fans and myself and my family for me to go out there at mentally 75%’”
“If I got to thump a guard and push a guy back to Shaq to make a play, and I’m like, ‘Eh,’ and I get widened, and then the tackle is really hard on Shaq. That’s not fair to Shaq. For me to know, especially mentally, the reason why I’m not stuffing that guy. I didn’t take him on, I didn’t hit him how I should've. I couldn’t do that”
Larry Brown says Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Larry Bird, and Magic Johnson never would’ve wanted to team up with other superstars to win championships
“I’m mystified by this new phenomenon in the NBA.”
“The great players want to team up so they have a chance to win a championship.”
“Michael Jordan, Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson… those guys wouldn’t want to team up with great players.”
“They would accept the responsibility.”
“If they’re so talented and so great, I think I can do it alone with any cast of characters that you give me.”
“I don’t think it’s a good idea.”
“I think that’s why there’s such an imbalance in the NBA now.”
“I don’t think Kobe would look for that.”
“Kobe had pride in himself and unbelievable confidence in his ability to make people around him better.”
“I think that’s a bad message going out there.”
