Georgia Southern started practice at Eagle Creek with three... straight 4th & 1 plays on the goal line. The defense won all three reps. Makes me think about something an old ball coach said... "If we score, we may win. If they never score, we'll never lose." - Erk Russellshow more

Five observations from Day 10 of #Bengals practice: 1.... Dexter Lawrence goes through drills under the watchful eye of team president Mike Brown. Today I asked Zac Taylor if this is the best D-line he’s ever coached. “Yeah, as a head coach here,” he said. “Obviously, we have high-end talent, but I think top to bottom overall, the depth is something that you’re really excited about.”show more

4 separate handball incidents Connor Barron- • Gets the... ball hit at him and accidentally hits his arm while his body is turned • The ref doesn’t see it • Nobody claims it and the game plays on • There’s another 2 phases of play, including Aberdeen TOUCHING the ball • VAR pull it all the way back to disallow the goal Lawrence Shankland- • Intentionally controls the ball with his arm • Hearts go up the park and score • Shankland barely celebrates and openly says “it’s a handball” about 5 times • VAR “check” it and allow the goal • Then Shankland celebrates it Gogic and Trusty handballs- • After getting a penalty vs Celtic for Sterling’s “handball” they set the bar that anything going on target, hand away from the body, accidental or not, it’s a penalty. Also the fact Dundee conceded a penalty for a handball offence with a pass going away from goal the same day 😂 The ONLY thing that’s the same in all these incidents is they benefit any team up against Rangers. Don’t care if we win games etc, the blatant cheating needs called out !!!!!show more

Holy Sh*t: Julian Edelman goes OFF on #Steelers HC... Mike Tomlin for never changing his defensive game plan: "They still do the same God damn sh*t [as] when I was playing [Mike] Tomlin's defense. I'm like, 'We still have linebackers covering the three slot?’ Every time we play Steelers, I have at least nine catches. You would think that they would change it but no, they do what they do." 😳😳😳 (via Games with Names)show more

Trump made a series of statements about different countries... at the NATO summit On Spain: “We no longer want to do any trade with Spain. Spain is a terrible NATO partner.” On Greenland: “Greenland is very important to the United States, but it is not important to Denmark. Basically, we took Greenland and then foolishly gave it back. We should never have given it back.” On Iran: “The Iranians are incompetent. They are liars. If they were competent, they would have made a deal 47 years ago. We agreed: no nuclear weapons. Then they go out and tell the press, ‘We never even talked about that.’ There’s something wrong with them. They’re cuckoo.” On Chinese President Xi Jinping: “I think China has treated us fairly. Xi has been magnificent. I’m a big fan of President Xi.”show more

🚨 Ferran Torres reveals Spain's final team talk: "The... coach told me Argentina were waiting for penalties he sent me on to finish the game. 🗣️ Ferran Torres When I was about to come on, the coach called me over and showed me exactly where Argentina were leaving space. He pointed out the gaps behind their midfield and told me they had stopped trying to win the match. In his eyes, they were already thinking about taking the game to penalties. He looked at me and said, 'If this goes to penalties, it becomes a different game. We have to finish it before then.' He told me to attack with confidence, make aggressive runs and be brave in front of goal. His message was simple: don't wait go and decide the final. That gave me so much belief. As a substitute, you dream of moments like that. The manager trusted me with the biggest responsibility in football, and I wanted to repay that trust. Scoring in a World Cup final is something I'll remember forever, but it all started with the confidence the coach gave me before I stepped onto the pitch.show more

Mike Conley, Rudy Gobert, Joe Ingles and the Utah... Jazz were up 3-1 on Nikola Jokic, Jamal Murray and the Denver Nuggets in the 2020 playoffs. But Denver came all the way back to tie the series at 3-3. And then in Game 7... With 30 seconds to go, the score was tied 78-78, when Jokic backs down Gobert for a righty hook that put Denver up 80-78. But somehow the ball found it's way to Conley for this buzzer-beating pull up 3 for the win that rims out. I think Mike would tell you that might have been the low point of his career. There's something fitting about Conley, at 38 years old, out of nowhere, moving back into the starting lineup with his team up 3-1 on Denver. I think an earned shot at redemption.show more

MJ: "You only got three, I got six." When... asked in 2017, who ranks higher between LeBron and Kobe, MJ picked Kobe. His reasoning: "Would I rank LeBron over Kobe in terms of best of all time? No. There's something about five that beats three." The goal has always been to win championships. Trying to include Robert Horry in the conversation is just a red herring. People try and use Kobe's 00 Finals average as an indictment to his contribution to winning that ring but fail to bring up Kobe's defense in game one, holding Reggie Miller to 1-16 in a decisive 104-87 victory. Feel free to read that again. To show you Kobe's value, he was injured in game 2 after almost 9 minutes of play and what was a 17 point victory turned into a 6 point victory and a 9 point loss in game 3 without him. Indiana could've easily won game 4 after Shaq fouled out, and we all know what happened next. Kobe earned that ring despite how you interpret the box score. At the end of the day, Kobe still has five championships that the Lakers wouldn't have won without him. The proof in that statement lies in the fact that when Kobe had a lesser role in 97, 98, & 99, they were gentlemen swept, swept, and swept before even making the finals. The minute Kobe's role increased, they rattled off three straight championships. That's not a coincidence...show more

I have not seen enough about the decision from... Mike Vrabel and Tim Kelly to go for 2 down by 8 last night. Here’s why I loved it: 1) NFL teams this season have been successful on 55% of two-point conversion attempts. The odds were in the Titans’ favor. 2) Will Levis was dealing in the 2nd half. 3) Titans still had all three timeouts and the two-minute warning. 4) Miami struggled to move the ball on offense all night. Their three scoring drives went for 12, 7, and 59 yards. 5) If successful on the two-point conversion, a stop on defense and a TD wins the game. If unsuccessful, you can still send it to OT. 6) Titans offense marched down the field, scored the TD to make it a one possession game and essentially told Miami, “we are going for two because we know you cannot stop us right now.” The odds are in your favor. It’s a good mathematical decision. You want to psych out an opposing offense? Give them the ball knowing they need to run the clock out, or you are going to have a chance to WIN the game, not send it to overtime. They saw what your offense just did to their defense. They saw your QB on the sideline screaming and hyping everyone up. Cutting the lead to six put WAY more pressure on the Dolphins offense. You want to hype up your defense? Put them back on the field knowing your offense just did their job. Put them back on the field knowing a stop and a TD wins it. At that point, they aren’t in the mindset of “we need a stop to have a chance to go to OT.” They are thinking, “let’s go out here, get a stop, and give our offense a chance to WIN.” There’s a fundamental difference in playing to WIN and playing NOT to LOSE. This was a decision by a coaching staff that was playing to WIN. Brilliant game by Vrabel and Kelly. Brilliant execution late in the game by the offense and the defense. Completely out-coached one of the best offensive minds in the game. #Titansshow more

Official Statement about the "ENDED" GAME 8 of the... $10,000 Ascendance Series tonight. We're looking into the issue that occurred. We understand this effected all 3 players on Team Orchid. - Hambino🏳️‍⚧️ - RamBeau - ROC sirsay And potentially griefed their win in this DAY 1 of the series. The team's winnings which could've been $750 if they won the game, were brought down to $300 as they placed 3rd in the event following another 2 matches. We understand that the game trigged an 'ended match by admin' screen, making it seem as if the game was ended by one of our admins, which is 100% wasn't. We know that for certain. Ivan nor MrFoxy who were the only two admins in the series ended the match. It was not done on accident or on purpose. We will look into this issue with the correct people and make another statement as soon as we get word on the issue. For the time being, we offer to reimburse the roster an additional $200 to round up the prize winnings to $500, as we understand they could have easily won Match 8, and it's not a small amount of money they missed out on. We don't want anyone mistaking this as an act of admitting fault in any way. Have a good night. The clip in question:show more

This is why I fell in love with the... fans of Red Star Belgrade (Delije). I have never seen or played in a better atmosphere than this one especially when we play at the Maracana stadium. With Delije away games feels like home games and that pressure to always get the first goal early to trigger the fans can be good or bad sometimes if you don't score early. I love every song I love how both old and young people show their love and support for the team. Red Star is like the Real Madrid of the Balkan region with a lot of history and great traditions. Playing in front of this amazing Fans and how they light up the stadium with their enthusiasm is something special. Zvezda Volime te 🔴⚪️show more

Here's another interesting detail about fishing🎣 We all remember... the scene in the novel where Shen Wenlang took Gaotu fishing. Then, in the October 20th live stream, they listed fishing as one of the three things they've done together. At the time, 🌲 explained it was a spur-of-the-moment thing. However, what makes this even more interesting is that they had already brought up fishing earlier, during the live stream with Lele. Right after 🌊 said he would take Lele out to play, he murmured "go fishing," and 🌲 nodded in agreement. So we don't know if this reveals a truly "spur of the moment" trip, or if it was actually a shared plan all along😌 Btw, in real life, 🌊's dad is a big fishing enthusiast 😉show more

My son’s coach pitch team won their playoff game... Saturday. But he barely remembers the game. After the game, we had a potluck at the park. I brought out my Legends summer camp playlist, fired up the speaker, and before long... Every player and sibling was singing and dancing for well over an hour. It was pure joy. Parents laughed. Took photos and videos. Bonded. And on the walk back to the car, my son looked at me and said: “Dad, that party was so much fun.” He didn’t even mention the game. And that stuck with me. As youth coaches, we have limited impact on what happens between the lines. We can teach the game. We can prepare. But we can’t control the outcome. Where we can have the most impact… Is outside the lines. That’s where the magic lives. That’s where the memories are made. So yes—let’s compete. Let’s aim to win. But what if we tried to out-fun everyone instead of just outplay them? What if we made intentional space for kids to be kids? To dance. To sing. To laugh. To play. Because years from now... They won’t remember the batting order. But they will remember that dance off.show more

Hills I will die on as an elementary school... teacher, who just wrapped up my 32nd year teaching! 1. If you are not PASSIONATE about blessing, serving, and empowering those you are blessed to teach, this profession is not for you. 2. Our students are not “ours”. They are their families, and we need to understand the magnitude of the calling, and responsibility we have to meet them where they are, and to help them to get to a place that they never thought possible. 3. As important as the curriculum is (and it IS important), the children in our classroom are what matter most. It’s our JOB to teach the curriculum to SERVE our students, NOT to use our students to push any sort of agenda. 4. Just as we teach our students to “leave things better than they found them”, we need to leave our students better than they were when they first entered into our classroom. Never let a day pass without pouring into each and every child. 5. We should not teach our children WHAT to think, but HOW to think, and how to use that knowledge to bless and serve not only themselves, but the world around them. 6. Our words carry little (or NO value), if we do not practice what we preach. 7. If we don’t make learning fun, children will view learning as a chore, and we we will be creating a generation of children who grow up to be young adults who don’t see the joy in learning new things. 8. The child that may be “difficult to reach/teach” (the one who may get on your last nerve more than you could ever imagine), is someone’s EVERYTHING. Get to know them as human beings, find out what motivates them, and do everything you can to help them to thrive. 9. Never tell a child they “can’t” do something. God has blessed each of them with far more strengths and talents than we may know, and it’s not our job to tell them what they can’t do, but to help them to realize all the things they CAN do. 10. The legacy you leave as a teacher will never be determined by your student’s test scores, but by the human beings you helped them become throughout their lives.show more

"don't speak about our faves again, di naman sold... out con ng fave mo" yes and we didn't claim na sold out din naman in the first place because most of filo stays have work, some can't travel to bulacan, may exam, may mga nagka-emergency. things happened but at least all of us enjoyed the concert, even the kids enjoyed it. they feel so love and appreciated. we always make sure na kahit hindi sold out yung ph stop nila, they can still feel the genuine love of filo stays. we make sure we can sing with them with all of their songs not just some songs na sumikat sa tiktok or wherever, we make sure that we CHEER ALL MEMBERS may landian man sa harap namin or wala!! so if hindi kayo satisfied sa sarili niyong fandom don't ever ever speak ill about ours, don't ever think about mentioning our kids or even our fandom. QUALITY OVER QUANTITY. you may sold out a whole arena but you will never understand, not even a gist of what it feels like to be stays jamming and hyping with strykids 💓show more

I was visiting Goa with my wife a couple... of years ago. We were in this cosy little resort in South Goa right on Agonda beach, run by a middle aged Goanese couple. We had stayed there for three days and on the 4th day we drove to North Goa, walked into a bar and got drunk and so had to check in at a different hotel for the night. At 11:30 ish, the lady from the resort called us to check if we were okay and that she had waited up to see if we would return. I thanked her and assured her that everything is okay. I don’t think I have or will experience this anywhere else, and I am a fairly well traveled person. India, with all its follies, can sometimes give you the most heartwarming experiences. This was the view from our room at the resort.show more

🚨 Curtis Jones on the heated argument with Dominik... Szoboszlai after the Wrexham match: 🎙️“People think this was about the captain’s armband. It wasn’t. The armband was just the moment everyone saw. There were things said before that, things people don’t know and probably never will. I reacted the way I did because I felt disrespected, not because I wanted a piece of fabric on my arm. “At this club, respect comes before titles. If you think I was fighting over who gets to wear the armband, you’ve completely missed the point. We spoke afterwards, shook hands, hugged it out, and that’s where it stays. “The dressing room will deal with the rest. Let people speculate if they want the truth doesn’t always need an audience.”show more

🤡 Witkoff suggested taking the Russians at their word... — Do you believe the Russians provided intelligence on the location of U.S. assets? And if so, why are we easing sanctions on Russian oil? — Well, I'm not an intelligence officer, I can't say for sure. But I can tell you that during a call with the president yesterday, the Russians said they didn't provide this information. So, we can take them at their word. Yesterday morning, Jared and I had a separate conversation with Ushakov, and he confirmed the same. So, I think it's better to ask intelligence about this.show more

A lot of people are starting to think after... seeing Shinsuke Nakamura’s Instagram story that AJ Styles is retiring at the Royal Rumble, but I really don’t think that’s the case – If AJ was actually retiring, Shinsuke would never have posted that today at least. It straight up screams retirement, kills all shock value, and WWE would never allow something like that. Why would they want to spoil it – My prediction is AJ wins at the Rumble and retires later at WrestleMania 42. If you’re gonna retire, why not do it on the grandest stage – We’ve also seen reports before suggesting WWE might be planning a proper retirement tour for AJ. If that’s true, retiring at the Rumble doesn’t really make sense. Who knows, maybe he gives us a full year farewell run – Yeah, we know his contract is expiring soon, but contracts can always be renewed. That alone doesn’t mean he’s retiring At the end of the day, I really don’t think AJ Styles is retiring at the Royal Rumble. Unless they’re going for something poetic like debuting and retiring at the Rumble, I just don’t see it happening Please God no 😭💔show more
