Greg Gutfeld just WENT OFF about Charlie Kirk being shot, even dropped an F-bomb live on Fox

Men have NO place in women’s sports.

President Trump’s Executive Order puts an end to the unfair and dangerous practice of allowing biological men to compete against women.

Common sense is back in the White House!

🚨 BREAKING: The *entire* family of Kamala Harris running mate Tim Walz just endorsed TRUMP. This is the greatest troll of the 2024 election 🤣

These are your options. Choose wisely.

President Trump never needed this job, he's doing it for his love of country.

Remember that.

Elephants are born weighing 250 lbs.

They are the biggest babies on earth except for the people mad at Taylor Swift for being excited at a football game.

Being a Head Coach is HARD Work.

I have talked to MANY coaches over my long career.

Here are 9 Things Coaches Want Parents to Understand.

1: We CARE about your Child
Even if your child doesn’t get much varsity playing time, we care about them. Nothing is ever personal. We love your child. Everyone has a Role. They are all different. But they are all important. Help us celebrate their role.

2: TIME
There are only two people who understand the time commitment of a coach. The Coach and their Spouse. We are always “on,” constantly thinking about our team. We sacrifice our Family time to be with your child. We don’t need a pat on the back. Just respect this fact.

3: We LOVE this job.
But it is a hard job. Please don’t steal our Joy. Our Passion. Our Commitment. We are losing too many coaches. Help Support us.

4: Coaches want to WIN more than you do.
We are very competitive. We put our heart and soul into this job. We are not perfect. Either are you. No one is. Strategy or X’s and O’s matter much less than you think. We are at practice every day. Trust what we see and do.

5: Everything is EARNED.
You get what you earn. Don’t blame the coach. Encourage your child to be committed. It is your child’s job to get in the weight room, shoot in the driveway, go to the gym or field, etc. Encourage them to do this. You get what you earn.

6: Trust the PROCESS
Team Sports are the ultimate lab setting for life. There will be bumps in the road. It is guaranteed. It is part of the process. Accept this fact. Trust the Process. The life lessons learned will last a lifetime.

7: Winning is HARD
Other teams want to win too. Other teams put time in too. Other teams compete too. The season is a grind, and the process is more important than the prize. Learning how to win…and how to lose…is an important part of this process.

8: Your child GETS it.
Your child understands. They are at every practice. They know their strengths. They know their weaknesses. They know their role. Don’t feed their youthful insecurities by questioning the coach. This will hurt their experience and the team.

9: Finally, and Most Importantly, this is your child’s experience, not yours.
This is important. Let them enjoy the experience with your support. Don’t judge them. Don’t be critical. Just be there. Tell them you LOVE watching them play. Be a fan of the TEAM.

My kid wasn’t getting playing time. This is how we handled it.

❌ No complaining about the coaches
❌ No contacting the coaches
✅ Personal accountability
✅ Patience and readiness

Braylon switched positions from defensive end to offensive tackle four weeks ago. For four consecutive weeks Braylon appeared in exactly zero plays from scrimmage despite getting game rotations at defensive end prior to switching positions.

Braylon and I talked quite a bit about earning playing time the past four weeks. We discussed continuing to be a great teammate while trying to give out the most high fives on the team. I told him to press the coaches for reps in practice to learn and prove himself at his new position. We also detailed the value of being patient yet ready.

In the fourth quarter of a 2-0 game (yes, the only points were from a safety at that point) Braylon’s number was called and he was on the field playing left tackle for the first time. He did well and earned his way back on the field for three consecutive drives until the game was over. His team ran around the left side to score the only touchdown of the game. Most importantly, their team won the game 8-0. It all came together.

I think Braylon learned many valuable life lessons through this season which we are grateful for. Sports are powerful.

I never thought I would actually agree with something Biden is doing but there is a first for everything.

[Brian Entin @BrianEntin]

Nashville Police Officer Michael Collazo and Officer Rex Englebert shot and killed school shooter Audrey Hale.
When officers arrived -- investigators say Hale was shooting at police cars through a window.
Collazo and Englebert ran toward the gunfire -- killing the shooter.
