After extensive testing I am confident I’ve got the perfect Willpower and Blitz Curl Mbappe build. Aimbot Mbappe is now complete. You can clearly see that whenever he does a Blitz Curl the accuracy of the shot trajectory compared to a Blitz Curler like Bale, Yamal or free Santos... show more

Breece Hall recognized that the Browns were blitzing pre-snap on his screen pass for a touchdown: "The way they blitz is, they like to blitz the back a lot and then either a linebacker or safety will take the running back man. If the running back stays in, then he'll just add and blitz, as well. Coach called a play and I knew I was getting the ball. Once I ran out there, I was just like, okay, if the right guard, if he gets the blitzer, it's going to be a big one. We ended up executing it really well and scored. It was perfect execution off of something we had practiced."

Friends! This morning, I am helping Ron to get used to the New Sofa. As you can see, it’s more hilly than the last one, so I’m demonstrating to Ron that he should curl up at the foot of the hill and that will be comfy. He’s getting there (and Hamish is helping). If you haven’t yet read my Blog about the New Sofa, posted yesterday, then please do ❤️

A lot of you complaining about shooting in 2k25 dont understand how the shooting actually works and are just calling it bad so let me break it down real quick The shooting itself is pretty EASY, if you cant green your first few shots you're just mistiming and need to learn your timing or get better, for example you can green your first 2 jumpshots very easily. NOW LETS GET TO THE PROBLEM. But after say for example you make 2 shots in a row, MOST OF THE TIME 2k will give you NO GREEN WINDOW at all on the next shot, leaving it completely up to RNG (random) whether your next shot will go in (will most likely miss). So essentially 2k is punishing you for greening multiple shots in a row by forcing you to eventually miss your next shot most of the time. In this clip in a ranked 1v1 match, my opponent greens 2 shots in a row then i confidently leave him WIDE OPEN for the 3rd shot knowing that he will 100% MISS because of the algorithm and he does...then i do the exact same thing again after he makes 2 more shots in a row, i leave him WIDE OPEN for his 3rd shot knowing he will miss again and he does indeed miss... You should not be PUNISHED for timing your jumpshot correctly by being given no green window after you make a sequence of shots, THAT IS THE PROBLEM WITH THE SHOOTING...it is not hard to time your shot in general, the issue is after you make a few shots, you're given NO GREEN WINDOW, which is leaving it up to RNG which should not be a thing. And if there's any brainrot kids who can't understand me saying that the shooting is easy but then also saying that the way they made the algorithm to make you miss is bad, i am specifically talking about the times where it gives you no green window after making a few shots, which is not on every single shot... 2k needs to revert this because it should not be impossible to make specific jumpshots, especially after making a few shots you think you would be rewarded and it would be easier to make the next ones correct? Well they made it harder instead.

How to set up the tee for a pitch down the middle, inside & outside. I see far too many athletes setting up incorrectly when doing tee work at my clinics and I see it from all ages. I can’t stress enough how important it is to have the tee in the correct spot. You can have the best swing in the world but if your contact point is off, it does you no good. For a pitch down the middle, you’ll want to make contact with the ball about even with your front foot in order to stay connected and hit for maximum power. Inside will be right outside of front foot and outside will be right inside of front foot. Letting the ball travel too deep will jam you and catching too far out front will force you to hit the ball off the end of the bat and roll over. So for those wanting to change swing mechanics so quickly for mishitting the ball, check your contact points first.

Michel Platini on Kylian Mbappé: MP: Mbappe is a phenomenal boy. He scored 42 goals in Spain. He won the golden boot, he is the best striker in Europe. It means he did well. He plays for a team that did not have a great year. Real Madrid is aging a bit too. Carlo Ancelotti has ended his cycle. […] I also managed to end the season as the best striker of the season and to finish second in the championship. Mbappe is a phenomenon. He is a striker that scores. Don't ask him to play like Messi, Modric, Platini or Zidane. Q.: Is he a true striker? MP: He is a striker. After, a center forward or not a center forward, I don't understand what the new coaches think about that. He is a striker that scores. When a striker scores, it is the most important. Afterwards, you need to figure out if you want to create a team for him or create a team that can play well with him. This is the difficulty. But with Mbappe in the team, you have more chances to win than lose.

Maybe you are facing some kind of hardship right now. Maybe it’s a health scare. A marriage that’s falling apart. A financial situation that has you staring at the ceiling at 2 in the morning. I want you to know something — if you are a Christian, you are not alone. Not even close. God is with you. Jesus said it Himself — “I will never leave you or forsake you.” (Heb. 13:5) Now here’s what’s interesting. A more literal translation of that verse has Jesus saying, “I will never, no never, NO NEVER leave you or forsake you!” In the original Greek, it’s actually a triple negative for emphasis. You simply cannot say it stronger than that. Get the point? Now listen — I want to be straight with you. Following Jesus is not a guarantee that life will be easy. If you are genuinely seeking to obey the Lord, expect opposition. Expect obstacles. Expect difficulties. That’s just the reality. But here’s the other side of that coin — also expect God to show up. Also expect Him to make a way when there seems to be no way. The road of faith can be hard, but you do not walk it alone. God is not watching your struggle from a distance. He is right there in the middle of it with you — and He will see you through!

The truest test of a leader is how he handles times of great challenges. When the chips are down, does he cower in fear or does he stand up and fight? You and your families deserve a leader that will fight for you. If you put your trust in me, I promise I will not let you down.

Did you know there is a run/pass tell in #Madden26 ? In most formations your linebackers blitz angle will change if it's a run. I use this trick to see when I needed to be really aggressive against the run with my user. 100 Likes and I'll drop a blitz scheme from this look.

.Ben Shapiro warns that “President AOC” is a REAL possibility. He says that it doesn’t matter whether she has broad support yet. That’s not the point. Ben explains, “The chief target is not the right…yet. The chief target is the ‘normie’ left.” The goal is to mainstream radicalism through small, low-turnout elections. When seats are won by people like Mamdani, Platner, or Chavalier, then a media blitz will frame the DSA as the “new” face of the party. The majority will be bullied by the minority to “get with the times,” a nomination will eventually be won (AOC or someone like her), and then a full blown communist will be one step from the presidency. Ben’s warning: “If you’re not terrified by what’s going on in New York and the willingness of the media to play into this…it’s because you don’t understand the game.” 🎥:

If you ask A Ronaldo fan these questions : 1. Who is the greatest player? (Ronaldo cause he has the highest goals ) 2. Who is the greatest World Cup player ( mbappe cause he scored more goals in lesser games ) But let’s use this same metric for Messi and Ronaldo, noooooooooo don’t use it 🤣 “ Messi has 2 golden balls ( the highest in World Cup history” Mbappe will surpass Messi, most probably, but right now, HE’s NOT ! IT WILL TAKE MBAPPE 8 years to have 2 golden balls to catch up to Messi, but somehow, all these doesn’t matter We go meet for front 🫵🏾

A marriage is an opportunity to create the home and happiness you hope to have. I am grateful for the joyful home and marriage Susan and I have created together in the last 50 years. You do not find the marriage you want to have. You create it. Often the assumption is that if you just find the right person, then that guarantees happiness. But that is not true. A marriage is an opportunity to create the home and happiness you hope to have. In every marital bond, if you are committed and faithful to God and to one another, you will find joy.

I know it will blow up (obviously because it’s a food for haters) so posting the full statement: “ I was one of the last to find out about his arrival. He adapts well to the dressing room. He is a very good person, and his ability to create chances, his ease in getting past defenders - that's a gift. I get the feeling that Vini is more of a hard worker and Kylian is a pure talent. He became the top scorer in his first season, and this year, I think he will be again. That's a bonus, not only for him but for everyone else in the team. These days, you know, if one player doesn’t run (pointing out to another player) it is ok, but when several players don’t, it weighs heavily. If Kylian does it, it really helps the team. ” If Fran Garcia wanted to make a statement then i think it would be better for him to do it face to face with his teammate - Kylian Mbappe, instead of creating another drama for press because haters got their food now and it is very unprofessional and unnecessary. The striker you are asking to defend is a top scorer in la liga and UCL, he is doing his job properly while i can’t say the same about defenders, if you want the striker to help with defence, then it will be fair to ask Fran Garcia to help with scoring too, otherwise i don’t think it is a fair point. Not to mention it is rare for a striker to be a part-time defender because it is one of winger’s duties.

Erling Haaland says the biggest compliment he gets is when people call him a tap-in merchant "The biggest compliment I feel I'm getting is when people say ah another tap in another easy goal" "The easiest goals is the best because what's the most difficult thing is to score goals. And when you can do it in easy way this is even better" "Most goals get scored inside the box. But also inside the 5 metres. So you need to position yourself perfectly and that's also really difficult" "You need to be at the perfect kind of readiness in your mind and in your body at all times. Because when you expect it the least, that's when you normally get the chance"

Early in his pro tennis career, Andre Agassi couldn’t beat a player named Boris Becker. Agassi particularly struggled with Becker’s serve. “His serve was something the game had never seen before,” Agassi explained. Studying film of Becker, “I started to realize,” Agassi said, “He had this weird tick with his tongue. I’m not kidding. He would go into his rocking motion, and just as he was about to toss the ball, he would stick his tongue out. It would either be right in the middle of his lip or to the left corner of his lip.” If in the middle of his lip, Becker would serve the ball up the middle. If to the side, he would serve the ball to the side. After he learned the way Becker revealed himself with a tongue tick, Agassi said, “The hardest part wasn’t returning his serve. The hardest part was not letting him know that I knew this. I had to resist the temptation of reading his serve for the majority of the match, and instead, choose the moments when I was going to use that information on a given point to execute a shot that would allow me to break the match open.” Agassi won 9 out of the next 11 matches against Becker. After Becker retired in 1999, over a beer, Agassi said to Becker, “By the way, did you know you used to do this with your serve?” Agassi said, “He about fell off the chair. And then he said, ‘I used to go home all the time and tell my wife, it’s like he reads my mind! Little did I know you were just reading my tongue.’” Takeaway 1: In a collection of biographies of prominent Greeks and Romans, the ancient historian Plutarch writes, “In the most glorious deeds there is not always an indication of virtue or vice…Indeed a small thing like a phrase or a jest often makes the greatest revelation.” Similarly, in the Acknowledgments at the end of his book, “The Splendid and the Vile: A Saga of Churchill, Family, and Defiance During the Blitz,” Erik Larson writes that when he began his research for the book, “I set out to hunt for the stories that often get left out of the massive biographies of Churchill [because] they seem too frivolous. But it is in frivolity, in the little moments, that Churchill often revealed himself.” In the frivolity, in the little moments, in a small thing like a phrase, a jest, or a tongue tick—often, much is revealed. Takeaway 2: In his book, “Creativity, Inc.,” Pixar co-founder writes about one of the principles that guided him in life and in business: “When faced with a challenge, get smarter.” Agassi began to study Becker because, after yet another loss to him in the semifinals of the 1988 Indian Wells Open, Agassi writes, “I promise myself I won’t lose to him the next time we meet.” To make good on that promise, he knew he didn't need to get better. He needed to get smarter. “Tennis is about problem-solving,” Agassi says after telling the Becker story. “And the more you understand...the more problems you can solve—in life and in business.” In sports, in business, in life—when faced with a challenge, get smarter. - - - “Knowledge [is] like gold—a currency you will transform into something more valuable than you can imagine.” — Robert Greene Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!
