Learned so many lessons from my Dad- but many came this year, his last one here. The biggest? The world doesn’t owe me a thing. But if I am kind, I work hard, I commit to telling the truth, and I never compromise my integrity— that life will be rewarded. I’ll keep trying, Dad

A healthy man in his 40s with no underlying health issues, committed to his fitness & posted rowing workout results on Insta constantly… just dies while in a country notorious for human rights abuses & trafficking that he used his pen and platform to rightly criticize? Nope.

If you think “Berhalter should be dismissed if the #USMNT fail to get out of the group” is a hot take - consider that Jurgen Klinsmann made a Copa América semifinal on home soil. Rolling out Bobby Wood and Gyasi Zardes at forward. In a tougher group.

If you told me before the tournament Shaq Moore would play more minutes than Gio Reyna at this World Cup, I would have laughed and been horrified all at once. #USMNT

It’s wild people think this FSU team owed anything to the Orange Bowl. They won 13 games and a conference title. They won their 2 games without Travis by multiple scores. Their reward was a historic snub. Why not opt out? Whole season was pointless. That was the

Will Richard, the first player to commit to Todd Golden just over 3 years ago, was the best player in the building in the national championship game. 18 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 assists, and a block. Unreal.

This is the best SEC football advertisement in years. Fitting Tanya Tucker is the soundtrack. x.com/JosephManero/s…

Can’t tell how happy I am for Alyssa Naeher. From the shy, introverted kid who many #USWNT fans didn’t think was a capable number 1 to Olympic gold medal game hero. Never doubted herself. A testament to self-belief in the age of ruthless social media

Jac Caglianone in Omaha: 5-8, 2 HR, 4 R, 4 RBI, 6 BB, 1 HBP, .800 OBP. I’d compare that to the Golden Spikes finalists but none of them are still playing baseball.

This is the play and throw. You don’t need to be a football savant to realize only a handful of players on earth can make this play and throw. DJ Lagway is one of them .

“I Won’t Back Down” before the 4th Quarter of a tied rivalry game in The Swamp. Imagine a better scene in sports.

Florida doesn’t rush the court after the win over No. 2 Tennessee. Good. When you’ve been to 9 Elite 8s, 5 Final 4s and won 2 national championships, you don’t rush the floor when you beat a program that has been to 1 Elite 8.

You want to know why DJ Lagway was the most important recruit at Florida since Timothy Tebow?
