🚨VAIBHAV SOORYAVANSHI COULD HAVE WAITED MORE WHILE SANJU SAMSON... IS UNLUCKY AGAIN - AMBATI RAYUDU🤯 Ambati Rayudu said :🗣️ "Vaibhav Sooryavanshi was definitely on the radar of the selectors after what he has done in the IPL & rightly so, he was selected for India. But, he was included in the playing 11 after just two or three games makes no sense. There is so much time in his hands & when you have a champion side, you should back your players". He further added : There was always a case that if you include Vaibhav in the 11, you have to drop one of your star players & I felt bad for Sanju Samson once again after what he did in the T20 World cup. It was absolutely fine if there was an injury, then you can play Vaibhav but not by dropping a star player. This selection makes no sense at all.show more

🚨 What Really Happened Between Tuchel and Bellingham After... the Norway Match? 🗣️ Thomas Tuchel: “We were lucky today. The way we played was sloppy, we did a lot of technical mistakes. It is nothing to do with mentality. We need to play better”. 🗣️ Jude Bellingham: “Tuchel said we didn’t play well? Yea, well, WHATEVER. It’s difficult out there. All the players have put in a very tough shift. My thoughts and appreciation go out to the players who put in a tough shift”. 🗣️ Jude Bellingham on Tuchel’s criticism:“Maybe he doesn’t know what it’s like to play in those conditions against Haaland, Ødegaard, Nusa and Sørloth. That’s not an easy team to play against.”show more

🚨When Ajinkya Rahane Still wanted to play test cricket... but I got no response from selectors🚨 Michael Atherton🗣️: You’re 37 years old now, but it feels like you haven't given up hope of playing Test cricket for India again. Do you have conversations with the selectors, or do you just keep churning out runs? Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: For me, it’s all about focusing on what I can control. Frankly, I tried to have conversations with the selectors, but I got no response. As a player, I can’t control that. What I can do is keep playing red-ball cricket, enjoying the game, and giving my best. I just love Test cricket ,that passion keeps me going. Nasser Hussain🗣️: When you led that legendary 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy comeback after 36-all-out in Adelaide, what was the dressing room like, and how was Rishabh Pant to manage? Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: Adelaide was completely quiet. Everyone was down. But Ravi Shastri’s energy was amazingly positive ,he told us, 'Don't think about cricket for two days, just chill. From Melbourne, we go again.' As for Rishabh Pant, in Brisbane, whenever we tried sending a message to him, he did the exact opposite! So we decided, 'Better not send any message, just let him play his own way!' And he delivered something truly special. Michael Atherton🗣️: How do you view Shubman Gill’s captaincy so far? Ajinkya Rahane🗣️: I'm always a very frank guy. I think Shubman still has a long way to go ,he is still learning the nuances of Test cricket. T20 is completely different, but in Tests, as a captain, you have to be extremely proactive with fields and session planning, especially against aggressive teams like England.show more

🚨 Ian Wright on Gabriel Martinelli leaving Arsenal for... Al-Hilal: 🎙️ Reporter: “Ian, what do you make of Martinelli’s move to Al-Hilal?” 🗣️ Ian Wright: “I don’t think Arsenal have handled this very well. I really don’t. Martinelli has given a lot to this football club. He came here as a young kid, developed into an important player and gave Arsenal some incredible moments. You don’t just forget that because he’s no longer first choice. If he is leaving for Al-Hilal, then I hope it’s because it’s the right move for him, not because Arsenal have simply decided he’s surplus to requirements. I understand football is a business. I understand you have to improve the squad. But sometimes you have to look at what a player has actually contributed before you push him out the door. He’s scored goals, he’s played in big games, he’s helped this club win trophies. And now suddenly we’re saying, ‘Thank you very much, off you go’? That doesn’t sit right with me. And let’s be honest, Martinelli still has plenty of football in him. He’s 25 years old. He’s quick, he’s aggressive, he can stretch defenders and when he’s confident, he can be devastating. If Arsenal sell him to Al-Hilal and he starts scoring goals over there, people will suddenly start asking whether we made a mistake. I’ve seen this before. You let a good player go, he gets a fresh environment, starts playing regularly and suddenly everyone remembers why they liked him in the first place. For Martinelli, I hope he gets regular football, confidence and the freedom to play his game. But for Arsenal? I’m not completely convinced this is the right decision. Sometimes you improve a squad by signing new players. Sometimes you improve it by making sure you don’t throw away the good players you already have.”show more

"You cannot expect a 15-year-old to be Sachin Tendulkar... on day one!" — Laxman Sivaramakrishnan on Vaibhav Suryavanshi🚨😡🗣️ "Once you decide to play him, you have got to give him ample opportunities! Remember, he is an investment for the next 20 years. What Vaibhav needs right now is a lot of support from the coach and the captain. Even if he does not do well in a few games, he should be backed. He should be continued! There is absolutely no point in blooding a youngster and then giving him a break or resting him. He doesn't need rest—especially as a batter, he doesn't need a bowler's fitness parameters. Give him a fair, long run in white-ball cricket!"show more

Want to jump higher? Unpopular truth: fat don’t fly.... Before you start crying about body shaming or act like this is skinnytok, let's get into our DeLoreans and revisit physics class!! Newton's 2nd Law a=F/m Same force with more mass = less acceleration which in this case = less height. Want to increase acceleration (and its byproduct jump height)? Either going to have to increase the numerator (force) or decrease the denominator (mass). That's not an opinion, it's math and science. And that math/science is on display here as you have two medballs acted upon by the same force traveling different distances due to differing mass. Now let's walk across the hall to anatomy and physiology class...yes, you need body fat. It's critical to be healthy and function. This isn't advocating for just losing weight or being "thin" or whatever. It's for optimizing body composition to where you perform at your best. With that, you need muscle mass to produce FORCE. And many younger volleyball players will benefit tremendously from an increase in muscle mass. This increase in muscle mass stands to increase force production, improve body composition, and create a net positive effect on performance (within reason we all know we're not training linebackers). But an increase in unnecessary fat mass typically has the opposite effect. Hence the statement: fat don't fly. Every athlete has an optimal body composition. Find yours through consistent strength training, adequate fueling, proper hydration and sleep and...planned recovery days.show more

"My brother called me at 2am from a gas... station parking lot. He said he wasn't okay. I mean really wasn't okay. I stayed on the phone with him for three hours. He wasn't alone in that car. Atlas was with him the whole time. My brother told me later — 'Every time I went somewhere dark in my head, Atlas would shift closer. Like he could feel exactly where I was going and he just kept pulling me back without touching me.' He's getting help now. He made the call himself Monday morning. He said Atlas kept him in that car until it was a different kind of night." I drove to that gas station at 5am when he finally said I could come. I stood outside the passenger window before I opened the door. Atlas was on the passenger seat. His head on the console. Watching my brother. Still watching. He had been watching all night. I stood in that parking lot in the cold and I looked at my brother alive in that car and I looked at the dog who kept him there and I couldn't open the door for a long time. I just stood there. Needing a minute to be grateful in the cold before I went inside the warm. My brother is okay. He's talking to someone. Atlas hasn't left his side since that night. If you have someone who isn't okay — call them tonight. Not tomorrow. Tonight. And if you ARE the someone who isn't okay — please call. There is a person on the other end who will stay on the phone for three hours. I promise you there is. Drop a ❤️ for my brother. And for Atlas who held that car together until morning.show more

"If someone has served the team for two decades,... there needs to be a good exit." — R Ashwin on Rohit Sharma🚨🗣️ “In his last eight games, Rohit's form has gone down and it can happen to any player. My problem is with the Indian team itself. If you ever felt in your mind that these two players (Rohit and Virat) are not fit for the 2027 ODI World Cup, that could have been communicated at the end of the ICC Champions Trophy.” “Why have we let it come till August when it is just 10-12 months left for the 2027 ODI World Cup in South Africa? Players like Rohit and Virat, they deserve respect. In corporates they call it layoffs, but for those who are at senior posts, things are done via smooth communication. My point is if someone has served the team for the past two decades, there needs to be a good exit.”show more

🚨Ben Stokes SPEAKS: Why he Had To Retire From... England🚨 Stuart Broad🗣️: "Stokesy, how have you made peace with retiring right now when everyone thought you’d lead us into the 2027 Ashes?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "Honestly Broady, I’ve given so much of my heart and soul to the captaincy role. When I looked ahead, I was constantly asking myself, 'How am I going to survive until 2027?' It reached a point where I wasn't just physically cooked from over-training, but mentally drained. I didn't want to play for England if I wasn't the captain, and at 35, I was completely at peace walking away." Jos Buttler🗣️: "Was there a single moment during the summer where you felt it was time?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "At Lord's, after we won an epic match, I realized I was more excited to go and face the press media than to celebrate with the lads in the dressing room. That’s when it hit me—this isn't me anymore. The joy of playing for England was getting swallowed by external noise and non-stop duty. My wife Claire told me recently that for the first time in years, I'm actually mentally present at home with my kids." Stuart Broad🗣️: "What about the rumors of you and Baz McCullum falling out before he was sacked?" Ben Stokes🗣️: "Total rubbish! Baz and I are great mates. We would have heated, detailed cricket debates in the dressing room, and because people aren't used to seeing two guys disagree and then laugh over a drink five minutes later, the media created this huge narrative. In fact, if I hadn't made my decision to step down, Baz would still be the Test coach today."show more

Not sure if uploading this is correct or not... as it's someone's personal moment, yet sharing this in order to spread awareness on men's mental health which is ignored ALWAYS. This video was shared by an Instagram user- Tilak Dubey. He wrote: wrote, “Today, I was waiting for my train at Borivali. The platform was almost empty and quiet. I had just missed my train, and the next one was half an hour away. So I sat down and watched a few scattered lives passing by. After some time, I looked to my left — there’s another man sitting quietly, waiting for a train he’s already missed… maybe for reasons bigger than time. Head down. Eyes flooded. He’s crying… but not the kind of crying people notice. It’s the silent kind.” The post has since gone viral, with many praising the empathy and sensitivity shown in the message.

Giannis Antetokounmpo spoke about his own father & his... humble roots after Tyrese Haliburton’s father confronted him after Milwaukee’s series-losing Game 5 vs. Indiana 🗣️ “I believe being humble in victory. People say when you win the game, you talk s***, it’s a green light for you to be disrespectful to someone else. I disagree. I’ve won a championship & they haven’t. I’m not trying to minimize their effort. I remember when I won, my mom never missed a game. When we won, she was scared to cross. ‘Am I allowed to come & hug my son?’… Except Thanasis, my family doesn’t sit courtside. I try to keep my family away from the game. Losing a game, emotions run high. I thought it was a fan. It was his dad. I love Tyrese. I think he’s a great competitor. His dad coming on the floor & showing me his son’s towel with his face. ‘This is what we do. This is what the f*** we do.’ That’s very, very disrespectful. My dad, who’s not with us anymore, my dad used to come in the family room & he’s the most respectful person ever. When you come from nothing & work your whole life to sell stuff in the street… you create this mentality of being humble your whole life. To not disrespect anybody… so, when his dad came here, I remembered: ‘Dad why are you so humble?’ That’s how I grew up… Having somebody’s dad — & I’m happy for his son & him — disrespecting me & cursing at me is totally unacceptable. I’m not the guy that points fingers, because snitches get stitches. I don’t want him to get fined. I talked with him at the end & I think we’re in a good place.” Thoughts? 🤔show more

Sergeant Daniel Holt, 46, Louisville Metro Police, held his... K9 partner of eight years, a yellow Labrador named Duke, in his arms one last time. Duke joined Daniel's unit at age two, trained in narcotics detection, with over two hundred successful deployments across eight years. Fourteen months ago, a routine health screening revealed a serious illness and Duke retired to Daniel's couch, backyard, and slow morning walks at whatever pace he wanted. In recent weeks his condition had declined sharply — eating less, moving with growing difficulty. When Daniel's vet, Dr. Patricia Moore, told him it was time, he took two days before bringing Duke in on a quiet Thursday afternoon. Daniel held him the way you hold something you're not ready to release, talking quietly - telling Duke he'd been the best partner he could've asked for, that he didn't have to hold on anymore. Then Duke, eyes closed, slowly lifted both front paws and wrapped them around Daniel's shoulders. Dr. Moore, standing nearby, went completely still. The room went silent. Duke held on, head pressed to Daniel's chest, while Daniel pressed his face against him and stayed there, not speaking - just holding his dog back. Dr. Moore told us. "I've sat with many families through that moment. I've never seen a dog do what Duke did. He initiated the embrace. I believe he was saying goodbye in the only way he could." A colleague said Daniel sat in his car a long time before driving home. A week later, he told us the house was very quiet, and Duke's bed was still by the couch. "I'm not ready to move it yet. Maybe I won't for a while." Some dogs hold on right to the very last moment -and sometimes, they hold on first.show more
