@tcramsey19 I’m still upset we didn’t have a goal line package for my boy @cormontae_h

The #Panthers and WR Jalen Coker agreed to terms on a 3-year extension worth $35M with incentives up to $41M, per agent @glose_matt.

This deal comes now for Coker, who was set to be an exclusive rights free agent this year and an RFA next year. He’s set to be free again at 27.

Sources: The #Panthers have agreed to terms with WR Jalen Coker on a new contract extension. A key part of the future.

Anthony Bourdain died on this day eight years ago and him describing Waffle House is still the single-most important description of America that has ever been articulated.

Re: Sorsby

The university presidents have always had the power to put an end to the lawsuits, but they’re hypocrites and cowards.

When schools agree to be a part of the NCAA, they agree to abide by their rules. Now, if an athlete doesn’t get a favorable ruling, they sue.

If presidents would say, “No, you’re ineligible and can’t play,” this is over. But they need athletics to win and make money, so they sit quietly on the sidelines.

Instead of going to court and Congress, how about the women and men hired to lead their universities do just that?

Fishing teaches patience in the most brutal way possible.

You can do everything right.
Perfect weather.
Perfect lure.
Perfect spot.

And the fish still look at your bait like:
“No thanks.”

Then the next day you randomly stop at some tiny pond for 15 minutes with zero expectations and catch the biggest fish of the month.

Makes absolutely no sense.

That’s probably why people get obsessed with it.
Every trip feels different.

[Give A Shit About Nature @giveashitnature]

If you see wild turkeys in your neighborhood, you're seeing one of the biggest conservation wins in American history.

They were down to just 30,000 birds in the 1930s. There are now over 6 million across the US.

They're excellent natural pest control, eating beetles, snails, mice, and even ticks.

A wild turkey in your yard isn't a pest, but a native species that almost disappeared and came back because hunters, biologists, and state wildlife agencies spent 50 years bringing it back.

[DocumentingLibs @HistorianUSA1]

A doorbell camera captures two Soldiers—one a battle-hardened Sergeant Major, the other an officer—standing at a family’s door in full dress uniform. They wait with quiet dignity, heads up, eyes steady. The weight of what they’re there to do is written on their faces.

They’re not delivering good news.

As we approach Memorial Day, it’s easy to post flags and barbecues. But this is the real cost. Since our nation’s founding, as many as 1.4 million American service members have made the ultimate sacrifice—fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters—who never came home.

Every Gold Star family knows that knock. Every folded flag, every name on a wall, every empty seat at the table carries a story of love, duty, and unbearable loss.

Tonight I’m praying for every family who’s ever answered that door. For every name we must never forget. And for the brave men and women in uniform who still carry the hardest mission of all: telling a family their hero is gone.

We owe them everything.

Freedom isn’t free. It’s given by the blood of patriotic heroes.

This is Sadie. She's a service dog who was honored with her own bone diploma at her human's college graduation. Worked very hard in all her classes and is glad her efforts didn't go unnoticed. 14/10
