The second John Wick tournament just happened where two guys in suits throw martial arts moves at each other to get to a gun on the floor and the first to shoot wins.
NEWS: The Big 12 has filed a complaint in federal court in Dallas for a declaratory judgement, which would effectively give the league the ability to enforce its by-laws. This comes in response to the Texas AG's letter last week. This would empower the Big 12 to have autonomy to make a decision on Brendan Sorsby's case.
"I'm an Arab Israeli. Israel is my country. I'm fighting for my country. Israel gives me freedom of religion and speech. Why would I fight Israel? I’m a proud Arab Israeli. I'll fight Hamas."
These voices will never be shared by the mainstream media.
A wise man once said, if you want to hate America, watch the news. If you want to love America, drive across it.
These European World Cup tourists are experiencing the REAL America for the first time: not New York City or LA, but middle America and all its hospitality. 🇺🇸
How DARE Thomas Edison get rich by inventing the light bulb, the phonograph, the motion picture, alkaline storage batteries and large scale electrical grids!!!!
The nerve of that guy. No one should have that kind of wealth.
Europeans keep asking what American culture looks like.
Brother, we have a restaurant so reliable that the federal government unofficially uses it to judge hurricane damage.
It's called the Waffle House Index.
If the Waffle House is open and serving a full menu, everything is probably fine.
If they're on a limited menu, things got rough.
If the Waffle House is closed, FEMA starts paying attention.
Think about how absurd that is.
An entire nation's disaster response can be summarized as:
"Yeah, but is the Waffle House open?"
And despite the jokes, it's one of the greatest American institutions ever created.
24 hours a day.
365 days a year.
Friendly waitresses who call you "baby."
Hot coffee that somehow tastes better at 6 a.m. after a road trip.
Bacon, eggs, hash browns, waffles, and burgers cooked right in front of you. I recommend the hashbrowns smothered and covered
No reservations.
No dress code.
No pretension.
Just good food, good people, and a front-row seat to the greatest collection of characters you'll ever meet.
Sure, there's a non-zero chance you'll witness a fight.
But there's also a decent chance you'll sit next to a truck driver, a nurse getting off a night shift, a family on vacation, and a local farmer all having breakfast together.
That's America.
When a hurricane hits, Waffle House is often the first businesses to reopen.
When your flight gets delayed.
When your team loses.
When you're driving across the country.
When it's 2 a.m. and you need food and life advice from a waitress named Amanda.
Waffle House is there.
Buc-ee's is America's cathedral.
Waffle House is America's church.

USA. A potluck. Everyone brings one dish. I have never been so out of my depth in my life.
I was invited to a gathering. "Just bring a dish to share," they said. Simple words. I did not sleep for three days.
Because I understood instantly what this was. A summit. Every guest, a lord of their own house, arriving bearing tribute. And tribute is judged. Tribute is ranked. To bring the wrong dish to the wrong table is to fall in standing before your peers, possibly forever.
So I prepared. I made my finest dish. I carried it to the door with two hands and a straight back, braced for the weighing of my worth.
The first lord arrived with a bowl of orange powder noodles. Macaroni and cheese. The crowd roared. He set it down at the center of the table. The CENTER. I noted this. The center is the seat of power.
The second lord brought a tower of small brown meat orbs in red sauce. "Meatballs," he announced, like a man laying down a sword. They were placed beside the macaroni. A strong showing. An alliance, perhaps.
I studied the table like a battlefield map. Potato salad: defensive, reliable, old money. A vegetable tray, untouched, clearly a hostage offering no one expected to win. And then a woman walked in, raised a flat box overhead, and the entire room turned and CHEERED.
Pizza. She had brought pizza. Store-bought. Still in the box.
I was stunned. She had not even cooked it. And yet the people rejoiced as if a king had entered. I revised my entire understanding of the hierarchy on the spot. Effort means nothing here. Only the roar of the crowd decides rank.
I placed my dish down, humbly, near the napkins. A peasant's position. I accepted it.
And then a man tapped my shoulder, pointed at my dish, and said the words that changed everything.
"Whoa, did you make this? This is amazing. Everybody, you GOTTA try this guy's thing."
The room turned. The room came. The room ATE. My dish vanished in ninety seconds. The pizza woman herself took a second helping and looked at me with respect.
I had won the summit. By accident. With a dish I placed by the napkins.
I understand nothing about this country. I have never been happier. I am hosting the next one.
So tell me, America.
Is there a system to the potluck? A secret rank? A hidden law?
I have decided there is not.
You just bring the thing you love, and everyone eats it, and somehow everybody wins.
It is the most insane way to hold a war.
I will fight in every single one.

The Big 12 is slated to announce it’s projecting a gross revenue this year of around $710 million, sources tell @SBJ.
That's a $100 million increase from the previous year and is a record high for the conference.
