Tom Brady says his doctor told him to cut the tendons in both legs. He refused, fixed it in 3 days with no surgery, and played till 45
“After the season, I tell the doctor, My groin’s just really sore all the time. Every time I move, I can feel it just grab”
“And the team doctor says, This is what we’re going to do. We’re going to do an adductor release, we’re going in there and cut the adductor tendon in your groin. We’re also going to cut the other side, so it never becomes a problem”
“And I was like, Okay, that sounds not like what I want to do”
“I called Alex when I left the office. I said, Alex, the doctor told me to do this adductor release. What do you think? He said, Absolutely not. Fly out to LA with me for 3 days and I’ll fix it”
“So I fly out there and worked the adductors, lengthened and softened both muscles, my hips, all my glutes, basically relieved the tension on the tendon. And 3 days later, no more pain”
“The doctor said there was a 99% chance he’d have to cut my adductor tendon at some point. And to this day, nothing”
Dear God, in the serene part of my heart, I want to express my deepest gratitude. Every moment of Your unwavering love is like a delicate thread woven into a magnificent tapestry—a sweet melody of Your grace that has profoundly impacted my life. With a heart that fully comprehends Your divine nature, I raise my voice in praise for all the extraordinary things You’ve accomplished.
As I reflect on the countless acts of kindness You’ve shown me, let each cherished memory serve as a precious stone, reminding me of my profound gratitude and solidifying a special place in my heart for expressing it. Lord, You are eternal and Your love is boundless. May my life reflect the transformative power of Your presence, and may my days be filled with the joy of knowing that You are always with me.
In the sacred name of Jesus Christ, who bestowed upon me my faith, I humbly pray, Amen.
I take notes on every introductory press conference I watch. NFL, NBA, MLB, College Sports... Just trying to excavate any bit of value that leader may share.
Here are my notes from new @PelicansNBA head coach Jamahl Mosley introductory press conference:
Theme: "Not skipping steps."
Opening Statement:
“Not going to skip steps. Greatness has to be step by step.”
-He repeatedly connected winning to discipline, repetition, and habits rather than talent alone.
-His belief is that culture is not something announced publicly, but something earned privately through consistent work.
“Culture is built not by the words you say but by the work you put in. And it’s daily.”
-Defensive identity will require daily discipline
-Habits create standards
-Sustainable success comes from process, not shortcuts
-Every day matters in team building
He described the Pelicans as a team “on the cusp,” but emphasized that even talented teams cannot bypass development.
“There’s not one team or player that skips steps and wins a championship.”
On Personal Growth as a Coach:
“I’m constantly trying to tell the truth to myself and have others around me who tell me the truth.”
-He believes self-awareness and organizational honesty create long-term improvement.
-The rate of growth within his program becomes the competitive advantage.
4 Non-Negotiables:
1. Respect your teammates by being on time. On time on the court, in rotations, to film, on passes.
2. Out work. We will not be out worked.
3. How you present yourself to your teammates everyday, is important. Your energy, how you carry yourself, it’s contagious.
4. Communication. Real honest conversations. Never ask to do something you wouldn’t do. It’s about getting a job done and creating a standard of what you’re trying to accomplish.
-consistently returned to accountability and honest communication as pillars of winning environments.
“The consistent habits of us being great is going to be us holding each other accountable, high levels of communication, real conversations that help us all grow towards a championship.”
He wants an environment where:
players can challenge each other,
coaches can confront players honestly,
and truth is not taken personally.
He emphasized that growth accelerates when honesty becomes normalized.
On What Drew Him to New Orleans:
-Genuine ownership
-Front office alignment
-Shared vision
-Players wanting to be coached hard
He said he could immediately feel from conversations with players that they wanted accountability and growth.
“They want to be coached at a high level.”
"The alignment, the genuine people in ownership and the front office. Those elements trickling into the locker room. The clear vision already in place and the culture that can be created around that."
"Got on the phone with some of the players, could feel in their spirit, they want to be coached at a high level. They’re wanting to go in a certain direction."
"Details, discipline, defense get you over the top."
-Togetherness in the roster will be important to produce that accountability needed to win.
On where his work ethic came from:
“My mother, I watched her work tirelessly taking care of my brother and I. We knew not to complain, go to work, and get the job done. Simple as that. It’s about the example you set by actions, not by your words. We talk about wanting to do things. But it’s the work you put in that shows. I don’t want to be out worked, we don’t want to be out worked. That’s our staple.”
-You have to want it, speaks about inner fire, something that motivates you to get to greatness. Has to be innate. They’ll try to scout this in the draft and free agency.
-Standards are modeled before they are taught.
On Coaching Style:
Mosley openly discussed having a confrontational teaching style.
The confrontation is not personal.
It’s competitive. The standard is winning.
He wants players who:
can be coached hard,
can handle criticism,
can challenge each other,
and can move forward without ego.
“Don’t be afraid of getting knocked down or knocking someone else down.”
At the same time, he emphasized emotional balance and locker room chemistry.
“Don’t take self too seriously.”
He wants players able to:
laugh together,
joke together,
accept criticism,
and stay connected through adversity.
-Looking in Draft and Free Agency for High standards + emotional security.
The overall vision sounded less like a “talent-first” rebuild and more like a culture-first program built around habits and accountability utilizing the current roster to mold into those values..
“He’s a defensive-minded coach.”

The most terrifying detail about Noah's Ark isn't the size of the flood. It is the design of the boat. If you look closely at the blueprints God gave Noah in Genesis 6, He was extremely specific. He gave the exact length, width, and height. He specified the type of wood and the pitch to seal it. But God left out one crucial component: no steering wheel, no sail, and no engine.
Think about how scary that is. Noah built a massive vessel to survive a global storm, but he had zero control over it or where it went. He couldn't steer away from rocks, turn into the waves, or aim for dry land. He was completely at the mercy of the water. The Ark was designed for floating, not navigation. Noah's job was to be the passenger, not the captain. God was the Captain.
This is your life right now. You are trying to put a steering wheel on a situation that God wants you to simply float on and allow Him to lead and take control.
This blessed me. I hope it blesses you too. 🙏🏾
I don’t talk much about my sobriety, because it wasn’t supposed to be a thing. I mean, I didn’t think I had an addiction. Then it hit me. It doesn’t have to be an addiction to be a problem.
I haven’t drank since Sept 9, 2022, but I made no announcements the day I stopped drinking. Maybe, that was to escape accountability. I’ve thought of taking a sip since, but it always comes back to, “what good has it ever done?”. So, here we are 3 years, 8 months later, & life is better. I am better!

I’d consider Miller a home run for the #Saints as a trade-up target from 42 or if he falls due to position value. Great reads here. What a quote machine. 😂
If there is one guy I will choose to listen to when it comes to draft analysis, it’s Louis Riddick. The way he was dead-on about the Tyler Shough pick last year while all of us freaked out.
Anyways here’s what he said about Jordyn Tyson. I’m all in. @LRiddickESPN
