Stephen A. Smith reveals he refused to visit his brother grave for 11 years until the day he got hired by ESPN
Stephen: "he told me you're going to be a superstar on ESPN...You're going to go down as one of the greatest sports journalists of your time"
"He told me that the last time I saw him alive...I promised myself I would never go to his grave site until I landed at ESPN...I got hired by ESPN in October of 2003. It took me 11 years I made a promise and I was aiming to keep it"
"one of the first things I did that day was drive to the grave site just to tell him that I did it...I don't cry much but I cried that day It just all came out"
Jon Jones reflects on how drinking and partying held him back in his career
“All my setbacks in life have been directly related to alcohol. I feel like things could’ve been even higher if I never got into partying… I had like 5 or 6 years of inactivity right in the middle of my career.”

Your attention works fine. You don't need to "fix" it. You just don't have a target that makes it easy to focus for months on end. You don't have a vision so strong that everything else becomes boring.
I hate to tell men this but
The women dressed provocatively in the gym do want attention
They are only upset when it comes from the guy they didn’t want it from
That’s why the reaction is what it is
It’s not your fault for noticing
And yes, they will continue to deny this.
I believe in one God,
the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God,
Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
consubstantial with the Father;
through Him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
He came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit
was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake He was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
He suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead,
and His kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the Lord, the Giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism
for the forgiveness of sins,
and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come.
Amen. 🙏🏼
My head gasket is gone. Destroyed. I had no injury / injuries going into the fight. I was throwing kicks, planted and jumping, all throughout camp as well as backstage before the fight. This came out of nowhere. I am beyond dark here. I can only describe it as hell.
