The day Australian Cricket was changed forever. 🤯😮‍💨

@EmiratesSupport @DXB What is the point of asking us to DM you and you just give repetitive AI nonsense that asks the same questions over and over again??? You can’t call, you can’t get any response. Paid a fortune for business class, then had to pay another airline as flight out cancelled. Rtn too!!

@EmiratesSupport My outbound flights from Paris to Bangkok, changing planes in Dubai were cancelled. We are due to fly back via the same route at the start of April. Because outbound flights were cancelled does this mean that our return flights are automatically cancelled also?

Zidane's first touch was an absolute joke

[Douglass Fischer @dougiefischer]

This KO was impressive enough for Ring Magazine to pair Curry with Marvin Hagler for 1985 co-Fighters of the Year. The buzz in boxing was that Curry would challenge Hagler at some point. (Of course, Lloyd Honeyghan put a "shush" to all that talk in '86)

[Super 70s Sports @Super70sSports]

I don’t know anything about cricket other than this is obviously the greatest moment in the game’s storied history.

60 years ago. Before NIL deals & sponsorships, one college football star:

Won the Heisman Trophy, then served in Vietnam, then won 2 Super Bowls as a QB, made 2 HOFs, started a company & sold it for $600+ million.

And it almost didn't happen. This is the story of how one decision turned a Cincinnati kid into an NFL & business icon:

1/ Spring. 1958. A HS football coach in Cincinnati wants to revamp his team.

He's got players but not a leader. He surveys his roster. He needs a new QB.

His eyes settle on one name.

A tall, athletic junior who had never played quarterback in his life: Roger Staubach

2/ Young Staubach is confused about the change.

He asks why they want him to be quarterback.

"Because the other guys listen to you," the coach says.

"That conversation changed my life," Staubach says now. "If they hadn't seen me in that role, you wouldn't be talking to me."

3/ Staubach goes full bore all summer.

Kills himself during two-a-days to win the starting job as a senior.

Loves running the huddle. Leading his peers.

Feels natural.

He graduates and plays QB for one year at the New Mexico Military Institute...

4/ In 1961 Staubach enters the Naval Academy.

He sits as a freshman.

Early in his sophomore year the Midshipmen's offense is sputtering. Flat. Lifeless.

Staubach gets his shot.

He leads Navy to 6 TDs and a 41-0 victory over Cornell.

The job is his...

5/ Junior year.

Staubach is 21 and becomes a household name.

He leads Navy to a 9-1 regular season record.

Plays for a National Championship.

Wins the Heisman Trophy.

Gets the cover of Time Magazine when that was a life-changing honor...

6/ After an injury-filled senior year, Staubach is drafted by the Cowboys.

"I know I sound corny but there is no way in the world I was going to break my commitment to the Navy," Staubach says. "They could have offered me a billion dollars."

The NFL is on hold. For 4 years.

7/ Instead of commanding Dallas' offense for Tom Landry, Staubach is in charge of several dozen enlisted men in Vietnam.

He's a Supply Corp officer.

Practices leadership daily.

"There's a way to do things in life," he says. "And there's power in setting a good example."

8/ Staubach quarterbacks a few squads in the service to keep up his skills.

He spends a year in Chu Lai...

He has the Cowboys playbook and uses his military leave to practice with the team.

In 1969, he officially joins the Cowboys as a 27-year-old rookie.

He earns the starting spot in his second season.

9/ 1972. This is the year it all happens for Staubach.

A 10-game winning streak.

A Super Bowl victory against the Dolphins.

Super Bowl VI MVP.

"Captain America" becomes the face of the NFL...

10/ Roger Staubach goes on to play in 4 Super Bowls.

He wins 2 and loses 2, both to the Steelers.

He's a 6x Pro Bowler. A member of the 1970s All-Decade Team.

But quarterbacks (even stars) in that era didn't make big money.

Far from it...

11/ By the end of his career in the late 70s, Staubach has 3 kids and is thinking about his post-football life.

He'd been working in real estate in the off-season for the esteemed Henry S. Miller company, preparing for this moment.

He launches The Staubach Company...

The Staubach Company starts off strong. A few office buildings. Regional tenants.

But Roger thinks bigger. He starts working with major corporate clients. Residential development. Apartment complexes... Quarterbacks his business.

For 31 years the Staubach Company grows.

Roger works with Jerry Jones. Ross Perot. All the iconic Dallas magnates.

Then, in 2008, he sells the company for a whopping $600+ million.

He becomes the wealthiest retired NFL player.

All because a HS coach moved him to QB.
