Rob Parker DESTROYS Lebron for saying The Lakers took him for Granted 🔥

"They got AD for him, they got Westbrook for him, he wanted Vogel gone, they got rid of him. He wanted his son on the team, they drafted him, he wanted JJ Redick. How in the World can he put his lips together and honestly say to Dave McMenamin Uh they take me for granted because they've everything that they can for him during his time in LA"

Love this and so true!

Luke Falk shared a Mike Leach story that stopped me cold:

Two kids. One rich. One poor.

Every training camp, Coach Leach told his team about these 2 kids.

The rich kid has two choices.

Get soft. Get entitled. Expect everything handed to him because he was handed more.

Or take the resources, the coaching, the opportunities, and compound them into something greater.

The poor kid has two choices too.

Say nobody gave him anything. Blame the world. Make his circumstances the reason he never became what he could have been.

Or outwork everyone in the room.

Luke said the locker room had both. Kids from wealth. Kids from nothing. Kids with every advantage. Kids who scraped for every inch.

Same choice for all of them.

Ownership or victimhood.
Fuel or excuse.

The rich kid can waste the head start or build on it.

The poor kid can drown in the deficit or weaponize it.

Greatness doesn't come from where you start.

It comes from which kid you choose to feed.

🚨 WOW. Border Czar Tom Homan just gave the PERFECT response to Pope Leo

"I'm a lifelong Catholic. I wish they'd STAY OUT of immigration, they don't know what they're talking about."

"Because if they wore my shoes for 40 years, and talked to a 9-year-old girl that got r*ped multiple times, or stood in the back of a tractor trailer with 19 dead aliens at my feet, including a 5-year-old boy that baked to death, if they understood the atrocities that happened on the open border, I think their opinion would change!"

"And I welcome discussion with any of them, because they don't understand illegal immigration is not a victimless crime."

"Where President Trump had the most secure border in the lifetime of this nation, right now, lives are being saved. He's saving thousands of lives a year because he has a secure border!"

"Human traffickers are out of business, right? The cartels are going bankrupt because of that secure border. I wish they'd understand that."

"Because if they did, I think they'd have a different opinion."

Mic drop.

This is scary shit

[Tricia Macke @realTriciaMacke]

“I’ll kill you in the name of Allah.” This incident caught on camera. A man on his knees in the driveway of a family, seemingly praying, threatens to kill a man and he is armed with a 4 inch knife.. stating he wants to kill the home owner in the name of Allah. The home owner’s daughter just came home so her dad went outside to warn her to drive away as he was watching this man on his security camera. Watch it unfold here:

[Christopher Hale @ChristopherHale]

UConn Head Coach Dan Hurley credits a Catholic nun with saving his life:

“When I met Sister Catherine Waters, I really didn't feel like I had a whole lot of places to turn. I was in my most, you know, vulnerable state. I felt like my life was unraveling. I didn't have much direction. And I didn't have anyone in my life that I thought could help me.

“But from that first session that we had together, when I was able to find the strength and the courage to open up and to talk about how I was feeling mentally and emotionally with another human being — and get some things out in the open and off my chest, where I could kind of rebuild myself as a human being, create a new identity for myself.

“Not just a basketball player that was struggling, but as a human being, as a man of faith in Christianity, as a friend, as a brother, as a son, as a college student that valued his education. I needed to just rebuild my identity.

“Her handing me the book The Winning Within by Pat Riley was really what triggered my love of reading — and reading and learning having such a huge impact on my life.”

Sadly, it’s hard to get upset anymore about the violence in downtown Cincinnati. Deep down, we all know the solution but we have to PRETEND like we don’t: More arrests, stiffer penalties on law breakers, longer sentences..a tougher, no nonsense approach from the top, down…

[Dan Zaksheske @RealDanZak]

I asked Dan Hurley the same question I asked Tom Izzo: why does the media have a problem with coaches coaching players hard?

Hurley: "Society has gotten soft in a lot of ways... The real world is tough and cruel... I'm preparing my players for life."

🚨 BREAKING: Speaker Johnson drops a genius idea, put the vote tally on giant posters in every airport so Americans see exactly who defunded TSA and DHS.

No hiding. No spin.

Let people look at the names while they stand in those lines.

Expose it all. 🔥

Delta announces all members of Congress will lose special status on the airline as TSA continues to work without pay. Love this. Continue to believe all members of Congress — and their staffs — should lose their pay for the entire year every time the government shuts down.

Joey Votto is a refreshing professional athlete!!!

[LanceMcAlister @LanceMcAlister]

Per #Reds
Reds former All-Star First Baseman and Franchise Icon Joey Votto has gifted the City of Cincinnati, the Reds and the fans a custom-built Verdin street clock as a thank you for their support during his 22 years with the Reds organization.

“I am excited about giving the Clock to the city, the team and its fans,” said Votto. “Being the oldest professional team, I wanted this Clock to add to the charm and mystique of the Cincinnati Reds experience.”

Crafted by Cincinnati’s The Verdin Company, the Clock stands 16 feet, 8 inches tall with four 36‑inch dials, and is located on Crosley Terrace, just outside the main ballpark entrance.

“We are incredibly grateful and honored to have this beautiful Clock adorn the front gates,” said Reds President and CEO Phil Castellini. “Joey made us proud every time he stepped onto the field. And this one-of-a-kind gift from him will continue to inspire and excite everyone who sees it.”

The Clock is finished in the official Reds Pantone red with white trim. The top finial is hand‑painted to resemble a baseball, and each Clock face includes “Cincinnati” across the top and “Reds” along the bottom. The faces feature Roman numerals and the iconic Reds wishbone “C” centered on each dial.

“There will continue to be massive moments happening at the ballpark in the future, and people making new memories,” Votto said. “I hope that I can still be part of it in some way, knowing the Clock adds character to this special place.”  

Additionally, the clock head features speakers that can play hourly chimes and a wide range of music, including Take Me Out to the Ballgame.

“Joey wanted the Clock to enhance our shared love of baseball, so we are collaborating with Joey and Verdin for fun ways to integrate it into our games,” said Castellini.

At the base of the Clock, a bronze plaque honors Votto’s contribution. The plaque reads: “Thank you Cincinnati” with Joey Votto’s signature underneath it.

“Joey was involved in planning every detail. He wanted his thank you gift to be a showstopper and we are thrilled with how it turned out,” said The Verdin Company CEO Bob Verdin III.

[Next Level Baseball @nextlevelbb]

Not even arguable.
Parents either want their kids driven to be the best or they want their kids handed things.
Coaches want to coach kids with parents that want them driven to be their best.
