45 years ago today, Yale's Ron Darling & St. John's Frank Viola matched up in the greatest college pitching duel ever.

Both starters made it through 11 scoreless innings.

Darling didn't allow a hit until the 12th inning but St. Johns won 1-0.

The reason every Rangers City Connect sucks and gets underwhelmed fan comments is that there's no history to draw from. DFW is a giant web of newly built subdivisions made for modern families to do capitalism.

Uniform should just be a collage of retail/restaurant chain logos.

13 years ago today, April 15, 2013, at 2:49 p.m. ET, two terrorist bombs exploded 14 seconds and 210 yards apart near the Boston Marathon finish line, killing five people and injuring 281, including 17 who lost limbs.

Remembering Martin Richard, Lu Lingzi, Krystle Campbell, MIT Police Officer Sean Collier, Boston Police Officer Dennis Simmonds, and all the true heroes of that day.

Wild that 40 years ago in this country a Houston cowboy CRE developer ripped a line and said “hey let’s build a 70 story building out here by the Galleria bc WTF not?” and his equity/debt buddies around him jumped on board

I hope we get back there someday…$100+ oil may do it😎

Gary Woodland is the anti-Tiger Woods in every possible way.

Allow me to explain why.

Gary Woodland just won the Houston Open by five shots.

Two and a half years ago, doctors cut a baseball-sized hole in his skull to remove a brain lesion.

He spent two nights in the ICU.

There was a real chance he would wake up paralyzed.

This is the best comeback story in golf right now and it's not even close.

The full story behind today is insane.

In 2019, Gary Woodland won the U.S. Open at Pebble Beach.

He finished 13-under and beat Brooks Koepka by three strokes.

At that point, Woodland had four PGA Tour wins including a major, and was ranked 12th in the world.

Then everything slowly fell apart.

After the 2023 Masters, Woodland became consumed by fear.

Not regular nerves.

Actual, debilitating terror.

He was afraid he was going to die.

Afraid something was going to happen to his kids.

Afraid of falling to his death in his sleep.

At the Memorial Tournament in June 2023, he woke up in his hotel room and clung to the mattress for an hour.

He was convinced that if he let go, he would fall.

His hands were trembling.

He had no appetite.

Spasms would jolt him awake at night.

He was losing focus over putts.

Forgetting what club he was holding mid-swing.

An MRI finally revealed the cause.

A lesion was growing on his brain.

It was pressing directly on the part of his brain that controls fear and anxiety.

Think about that.

The thing responsible for every irrational terror he was experiencing had a physical, medical explanation.

His brain was literally being pressed into a constant state of fear.

In September 2023, Woodland had a craniotomy.

Surgeons removed as much of the lesion as they could, roughly half, because it was pressed against the optic tract of his left eye.

They cut off blood supply to the rest to try to stop it from growing.

He walked out of the hospital two days later.

Started putting again two days after that.

He came back to the PGA Tour in January 2024 at the Sony Open.

But he was nowhere near the same player.

In 26 starts during 2024, he had three top-25 finishes.

His best was a tie for ninth at the Shriners Children's Open.

For a former U.S. Open champion, those are survival numbers.

And nobody knew the full extent of what he was dealing with.

Because on top of the brain surgery and the recovery, Woodland had been diagnosed with PTSD.

He kept it hidden for over a year.

He described being hypervigilant on the course.

A walking scorer once got too close from behind and startled him so badly that his vision went blurry and he forgot where he was.

He would go into bathrooms between holes and cry.

He would break down in the scoring trailer after rounds.

He would sprint to his car in the parking lot just to hide it from everyone.

He said he felt like he was living a lie.

Spending so much energy pretending to be okay that he had nothing left for the actual golf.

On March 9, three weeks before this Houston Open, Woodland finally told the truth publicly.

He sat down with Golf Channel's Rex Hoggard and revealed everything.

The PTSD.

The crying.

The fear.

All of it.

He said after that interview it felt like a thousand pounds had been lifted off his back.

Then he showed up at Memorial Park.

He opened with a 64.

Then a 63.

Then a 65.

Then a 67 on Sunday to close it out.

259 total.

A tournament record.

21-under par.

Five strokes clear of Nicolai Højgaard.

Wire to wire.

Led every single round.

His first win since the 2019 U.S. Open.

Nearly seven years between victories.

Brain surgery, PTSD, two years of hiding in bathrooms between holes, and a thousand pounds of weight he was carrying that nobody could see.

This is a guy who was a basketball player first.

He grew up in Topeka, Kansas, won state basketball titles at Shawnee Heights High School, and played a year of college basketball at Washburn before he realized golf was his future.

He won the Courage Award from the PGA Tour in 2025.

The seventh player to ever receive it.

And now, at 41 years old, with titanium plates holding his skull together, he walked into Memorial Park three weeks after telling the world the truth about what he had been going through and played the best golf of the entire field for four straight days.

The full breakdown of Woodland's career, the surgery, the PTSD, and how he got to this point is here:

https://t.co/5ngVyMCs78

There is a reason this one hits different.

Comeback stories in sports usually involve torn ACLs or shoulder surgeries.

Things you can see.

Things that heal on a timeline.

Woodland's comeback was from something that rewired his brain.

Something that turned his own mind against him.

And the hardest part of his recovery wasn't physical.

It was admitting to the people around him that he wasn't okay.

Three weeks ago he said the words out loud.

Today he won a golf tournament by five shots.

My dad loves the Blizzard of ‘78. My entire life I’ve heard about it as a point of comparison for any snowstorm. It’s his GOAT.

Today he’s been reacting to everything about this storm like Michael Jordan fans do when people talk about LeBron.

NEWS: Aurora’s driverless trucks can now run longer than humans drivers are legally allowed.

The company said the latest software update to its driverless hardware suite will enable its trucks to drive nonstop from Phoenix to Fort Worth. That trip is roughly 1,000 miles long and takes 15 hours to complete. By contrast, a human driver would legally have to take a 30 minute break after 11 hours of driving.

The company currently has five autonomous trucks carrying cargo without safety monitors between Dallas, Houston, Fort Worth and El Paso, Texas. By the end of 2026, the startup expects to have over 200 driverless trucks in operation.

Their trucks use lidar, radar, and cameras.

“Everything that moves should be autonomous.” - Jensen

[Max Weinbach @mweinbach]

I'm in the Nvidia Q&A with Jensen and someone just asked the difference between Alpamayo and Tesla FSD

Jensen said:

“As to your second question: Tesla’s FSD stack is completely world-class. They’ve been working on it for quite some time. It’s world-class not only in the number of miles it’s accumulated, but in the way it’s designed—the way they do training, data collection, curation, synthetic data generation, and all of their simulation technologies.

Of course, the latest generation is end-to-end Full Self-Driving—meaning it’s one large model trained end to end. And so… Elon’s AD system is, in every way, 100% state-of-the-art. I’m really quite impressed by the technology. I have it, and I drive it in our house, and it works incredibly well.

Alpamayo was designed around a different idea. The first difference is that NVIDIA doesn’t build self-driving cars—we build the full stack and the technology for everybody else to build self-driving cars. And we build—like we do for humanoid robotics—three computers: the training computer, the simulation computer, and the robotics computer, which is the self-driving car computer. We have software stacks across all of that.

Our customers can use all of it, some of it, or parts of it—whatever makes sense for them. And so we’re working with the entire industry—Tesla for their training system, Waymo for the car computer, and XPeng. Nuro—who I think just announced they’re going into the robotaxi business—with Lucid and Uber; and NVIDIA is part of that.

So our system is really quite pervasive because we’re a technology platform provider—that’s the primary difference. There’s no question in our mind that, of the billion cars on the road today, in another 10 years’ time, hundreds of millions of them will have great autonomous capability. This is likely one of the largest, fastest-growing technology industries over the next decade.

And the last thing we do is: we open-source everything. If a customer would like to use the model that we train, they’re welcome to do that. If they would like to use our model technology but train it themselves, we even help them do that. We’re not a self-driving car company—we just want to enable the world’s autonomous industry. Everything that moves should be autonomous.”
