I asked Tyrese Haliburton how pregame chapels have helped him throughout the season and to keep his mind clear: “Chapels a big part of my game day routine…that 15-20 minutes I get everyday to step aside and talk about what really matters, which is my Lord and Savior, I think is very important for me. We’ve built a little bit of a community within our locker room too. In the past, it was just me and Buddy (Hield) when we first got here, but now we gotta few different guys coming. We’ve got coaches coming. That’s important because it’s builds another sense of community and everybody’s welcome. It’s been a big part of my success, and honestly my sanity throughout this year, because it’s been an up and down year. I know that coming back to the book (the Bible), always makes me feel at peace and know the bigger picture. Coach Moe (the team chaplain who runs the chapels) has been a big part of my success the last 2-3 years.”

🚨May 22, 2024 Kross tried to tell you all and explain his character again... In this thread I have quoted the most important lines of 4 clips I have pulled from the video in Kross's post I'm retweeting. 🧵⏳ Clip 1: "I just want to take a moment right now, to fill you in details of what's been happening, so we can all keep track of the plays, so we don't lose the narrative of the STORY. STORIES are important (Cody). I think my STORY is important and I'd like to talk to you a little bit about that, right now... In order for me to do that, we need to address the word of the day... SABOTAGE. (Vince)" "I had this moment, this epiphany, three seconds of clairvoyance, a revelation. WWE Champions, they feel like they're untouchable they feel like they're on some other kind of level (Roman-Greatness On A Different Level) than the rest of us."

In my opinion, Tarris Reed Jr. (UConn) would be the most seamless fit for the Knicks in the 2026 NBA Draft. The Knicks have the 24th & 31st pick and have more than enough access to target Reed Jr on the board. There’s even potential for them to move back from 24, acquire more draft capital and still get Reed Jr. Here’s why I love the fit. From a position of need standpoint, he’s a legitimate plug and play NBA Center who can log 10-15 minutes right away. There’s a possibility that the Knicks lose both Mitchell Robinson and Ariel Hukporti to free agency. Reed Jr. comes from a winning program in UConn played for winning obsessed coach in Dan Hurley played in the Big East, which aligns with the Knicks core mentality. In Matchups vs Lottery prospects in the tournament, there were legitimate times where he was the most productive player on the floor. Reed Jr. is a throwback big, bodies dudes in the paint, good touch around the rim. Nice bag that can only improve. UConn is the farthest thing from a iso offense, but Reed jr, bailed them out time and time again with post touches, a look the Knicks don’t really feature and can open up more diversity in their offense. From a scheme standpoint, the Knicks could actually play some high low concepts with Towns and Reed Jr. In addition, Reed Jr, projects to be a really good rebounder and will end possessions on defense and extend possessions on offense. The main concern for me is his versatility on defense, as it relates to being switchable on the perimeter. Day 1? Won’t be anywhere near what Mitch’s ability on film. Mitch is a guy that blocked Kevin Durant on the perimeter, closed out to the whole Boston Celtics team on one possession in game 6, and got a hand up on Wemby at the end of Game 2 in the NBA Finals. Simply put, if the Knicks lose Mitchell Robinson, they cannot replace him. However, I think Reed jr. will adapt to the needs of the NBA game in his own way, which will make him at least serviceable when playing out of drop coverage. There’s also the reality that Reed jr. isn’t a modern day stretch big that’s going to space the floor. While It’s not an accomplishment, I do think he has some more potential than Robinson/Hukporti to step out in space and knock one down eventually. All in all, these are the reasons Tarris Reed Jr. is a slam dunk pick for the Knicks in the 2026 nba draft - Position of need - Rotation player on a rookie deal - Winning Player - High Motor - Plug and Play From Day 1

In August 2020, I sold my company. I thought I’d reached the summit. I had enough to never work again. But within weeks, the "empty void" set in. I was winning the Finance game, but I was losing at life. 🧵 Most high-achievers have one gear: Intensity. We’re taught that the "Motor" is all that matters. If we just go faster, work harder, and red-line the engine, the fulfillment will follow. But I learned the hard way: Action without Vision is just a motor without a car. I was red-lining my engine, but I had no steering wheel. My health was an afterthought. My relationships were transactional. My "Focus" was scattered across different task management tools and notebooks. I was "shoulding" on myself every single day. I had to stop being a "Hustler" and start being an Architect. So I took time off and gave my past a good hard look. Then I started. I built the F4 Framework to bridge the G.A.P. (Goals, Accountability, Process). It’s the operating system I used to get my life back, and it’s what I now install for several people who were feeling that missing "thing". I like to call them "Legends." The 4 Pillars of a Legend: Fitness: The "Show Up" principle. Focus: The discipline of strategic stillness. Fraternity: Managing your 150 (Dunbar’s Number). Finance: Making money a servant, not a master. I don’t do "Country Club" coaching. No fluff. No smoke. No "shoulds." We run the HAF+ Time Report every Sunday: • Hurdles (Identify) • Ahas (Learn) • Fixes (Execute) Intensity is the motor. This is the car. I am looking for more Legends to join the "Brave Cave." If you’ve hit the pinnacle or have success but feel like you’re peering into an abyss, stop spinning the wheels. DM me "MOTOR". Let's build the car together.

On the second day of recruiting myths… Myth #2: “The name on the front of your jersey doesn’t matter.” There is some truth here. But people usually say this to make you feel better if you’re not on a team in the “recruiting bubble.” And yes of course there are always outliers. If you’re Montana Fouts, you could show up playing for the Butterflies and coaches would still be lined up drooling at the fence. But for most of us? The jersey does matter. Especially if you don’t have true 5-star size or can’t blow people away with elite metrics. I know this because I’ve been on both sides of it. Same player. Same work ethic. Completely different response from coaches. Why does the jersey matter more than people admit? First impressions. If a coach doesn’t recognize your club as one that consistently produces players at their level, you have to overwhelm them with performance and numbers just to get the same look. What matters even more than the jersey name is the coach attached to it. My last club, Rising, was brand new. But my coach, Steve Appel, had a lot of successful former players at top 25 programs. Coaches knew him. Trusted him. We were at the best fields and no one cared what was on the front of our jerseys. At my first tournament with that team, I saw more college coaches than I had in my entire recruiting journey before that. It’s true. College coaches aren’t recruiting a jersey. They’re recruiting you. But your jersey affects: •what fields you play on •who stops to watch •how risky you look on paper A well-known club with proven coaches comes with built-in credibility. Can you get recruited without that? Yes. I did. But if you’ve read my book, you know how many things had to line up for that to happen. So is there truth to this myth? Yes. But most of the time, when people say it, they’re trying to protect you from a harder truth: Recruiting isn’t just about how good you are. It’s also about who’s willing to vouch for you. And your jersey is a powerful indicator of that before a coach sees you even pick up a ball. #RecruitingRules Rule #6: The lifeblood of recruiting is relationships. And whether you like it or not, the front of your jersey is part of that. Photo Caption: Top image my OG team, AZ Steel after winning the Colorado Sparkler Supplemental Power Pool. Bottom image with steve appel after winning PGF Nationals. My original team eventually made it into the “recruiting bubble” the summer after I committed. We were a solid competitive team at the national club level, but having played for both, no one will ever convince me that my recruiting opportunities would have been the same regardless of which jersey I was wearing. Completely different worlds. I wouldn’t change my path. I ended up exactly where I always dreamed to be, and my path made me who I am, but in my case believing this myth for so long cost me time and my family money.

This is HERO stuff RIGHT HERE! Watch this bodycam and tell me cops don’t matter. Atlanta officers hear a baby crying inside a windowless trailer. It’s 97 degrees. No AC. Junk everywhere. They don’t form a circle and talk about feelings. They grab bolt cutters and a cinder block and force the door. Out come a 4-year-old and an 11-month-old. Alive. Crying. Safe. The woman who locked them in there met their mama through a Facebook mom group. Played the helpful babysitter for a year. Built trust. Then took the girls and disappeared. Same woman was already charged in Alabama in 2021 for walking off with a 4-day-old baby under almost identical circumstances. She had an outstanding warrant. Still got access to more children. This is the part that should wake every parent up. Predators don’t always look like monsters. Sometimes they show up in the comments section of a mom group offering free babysitting and “support.” I’m a dad of two little boys. This video hits different. Those officers ran toward the sound of a crying baby in a metal box. That’s the job. That’s what good policing looks like when the stakes are real. Protect your kids. Vet the people around them. And stop pretending the men with the bolt cutters are the problem.

🔴 🇧🇷 Gabriel Jesus: "I still have unfinished business at Arsenal." ▫️The Brazilian opens up on his injuries, comeback and future at Arsenal. 🗣️ On overcoming his ACL injury: "For me, a day without football is a terrible day. After I tore my ACL, I had 300 bad days in a row. First of all, God gave me this challenge because He knew I was strong enough to handle it. Without that, probably I would not be this strong in my head." "Yes, this injury changed me - not just as a player, but as a person. I was in my best moment... then it happened. I had 11 months of doubting, stepping back and watching everything around me. If I didn't have the Bible, I don't believe I would've come back stronger than ever. Now I believe even more." 🗣️ On returning to full fitness: "The knee is feeling great, my whole body. After such a big injury, some players have setbacks, so I hope it's different for me. I want to keep on this track." 🗣️ On scoring the last goal of the season against Palace: "It was nice to get on the scoresheet and finish the season with a win. Most important, it was a beautiful moment because we won the title that day." 🗣️ On becoming a Premier League champion: "It was a dream come true. After everything I've been through with injuries, to be part of this title-winning team is something I will never forget. The feeling of knowing we were champions... there's nothing like it." 🗣️ On his future at Arsenal: "I'm fully back and ready to begin the new season. I feel that I still have unfinished business at Arsenal. I don't want to leave. When I came here to join Mikel, my purpose was not only to score goals. My purpose was to win titles, and I want to win more titles." ▶️Gabriel Jesus has returned stronger, mentally tougher and hungrier than ever after the most difficult period of his career. Would you keep faith in Gabriel Jesus🇧🇷 this season, or should Arsenal sign another striker?

Dreams do come true but here’s the real truth most people don’t talk about: What are you willing to give up to make your dreams come true? I grew up in the projects where dreams didn’t feel real. Life was about surviving, not dreaming. Then one day everything changed when a teacher and a coach both told me, “You can become whatever you want if you’re willing to be different.” That moment shifted my mindset forever. So to every young person coming up this is the same thing I told the guys I grew up with: I wasn’t better than you. I just made better decisions and real sacrifices for the betterment of my family and my future. Success isn’t luck. It’s discipline, faith, and doing the hard things when nobody is watching. I pray my life and testimony inspire kids coming from hard situations to believe bigger, work harder, and turn what looks like nothing into something great. Because where you start doesn’t determine where you finish God does. #JustWork #PurposeDriven #FromStruggleToStrength #DreamBig #FaithAndWork #Testimony #Motivation

George Carlin Was An American Hero. Here Was His Last Message, He Died 1 Week Later “Sooner or later the people in this country are going to realize the government does not give a f*** about them. Government doesn't care about you or your children or your rights or your welfare or your safety. It simply doesn't give a f*** about you. It's interested in its own power, that's the only thing, keeping it and expanding it wherever possible. Personally, when it comes to rights, I think one of two things is true. I think either we have unlimited rights or we have no rights at all. Personally, I lean toward unlimited rights. I feel for instance I have the right to do anything I please. But, if I do something you don't like, I think you have the right to kill me. So where you gonna find a fairer fucking deal than that? Boy everyone in this country is always running around yammering about their fucking rights. I have a right, you have no right, we have a right, they don't have a right. Folks, I hate to spoil your fun, but there's no such thing as rights, okay? They're imaginary. We made them up. Like the boogeyman. The three little pigs, Pinocchio, Mother Goose, shit like that. Rights are an idea, they're just imaginary. They're a cute idea, cute. But that's all, cute and fictional. But if you think you do have rights, let me ask you this. Where do they come from? People say, well, they come from God, they're God-given rights. Oh, fuck, here we go again. Personally, folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would have given you the right to some food every day, and he would have given you the right to a roof over your head. God would have been looking out for you. God would have been looking out for you. But let's say it's true. Let's say God gave us these rights. Why would he give us a certain number of rights? The Bill of Rights in this country has ten stipulations, okay? Ten rights. And apparently God was doing sloppy work that week because we've had to amend the Bill of Rights an additional 17 times. So God forgot a couple of things like slavery just fucking slipped his mind. But let's say, let's say God gave us the original 10. He gave the British 13. The British Bill of Rights has 13 stipulations. The Germans have 29. The Belgians have 25. The Swedish have only six. And some people in the world have no rights at all. What kind of a fucking goddamn God-given deal is that? No rights at all? Why would God give different people in different countries different numbers of different rights? Boredom? Amusement? Bad arithmetic? Do we find out at long last after all this time that God is weak in math skills? Doesn't sound like divine planning to me. Sounds more like human planning. Sounds more like one group trying to control another group. In other words, business as usual in America. In 1942, there were 110,000 Japanese American citizens and good-standing, law-abiding people who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had? Right this way! Into the internment camps. Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most, their government took them away. And rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter and shorter. You see how it's going?”

Rights are an idea, they're just imaginary. They're a cute idea, cute. But that's all, cute and fictional. But if you think you do have rights, let me ask you this. Where do they come from? People say, well, they come from God, they're God-given rights. Oh, fuck, here we go again. Personally, folks, I believe that if your rights came from God, he would have given you the right to some food every day, and he would have given you the right to a roof over your head. God would have been looking out for you. God would have been looking out for you. But let's say it's true. Let's say God gave us these rights. Why would he give us a certain number of rights? The Bill of Rights in this country has ten stipulations, okay? Ten rights. And apparently God was doing sloppy work that week because we've had to amend the Bill of Rights an additional 17 times. So God forgot a couple of things like slavery just fucking slipped his mind. But let's say, let's say God gave us the original 10. He gave the British 13. The British Bill of Rights has 13 stipulations. The Germans have 29. The Belgians have 25. The Swedish have only six. And some people in the world have no rights at all. What kind of a fucking goddamn God-given deal is that? No rights at all? Why would God give different people in different countries different numbers of different rights? Boredom? Amusement? Bad arithmetic? Do we find out at long last after all this time that God is weak in math skills? Doesn't sound like divine planning to me. Sounds more like human planning. Sounds more like one group trying to control another group. In other words, business as usual in America. In 1942, there were 110,000 Japanese American citizens and good-standing, law-abiding people who were thrown into internment camps simply because their parents were born in the wrong country. That's all they did wrong. They had no right to a lawyer, no right to a fair trial, no right to a jury of their peers, no right to due process of any kind. The only right they had? Right this way! Into the internment camps. Just when these American citizens needed their rights the most, their government took them away. And rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're privileges. That's all we've ever had in this country is a bill of temporary privileges. And if you read the news even badly, you know that every year the list gets shorter and shorter and shorter. You see how it's going?”

Not every key fits every lock, and democracy is not a universal solution. Yes, democracy has its merits, but it also has serious flaws. One of them is that, under its name, Islamist extremists and Muslim Brotherhood terrorists can become prime ministers or congressmen. In the Middle East, we in the UAE chose a different path, one that actually works. We built a system where people from democratic countries feel safer walking the streets of Abu Dhabi and Dubai, where they enjoy more rights, better education for their children, and stronger healthcare than in democratic nations in the West. That does not make democracy bad. It simply means it suits you, not necessarily us. Because when democracy was tried in Gaza, it gave power to Hamas. In Egypt, it brought the Muslim Brotherhood. In Libya, it handed the country to militias. What suits you does not have to fit me. Every society must craft a system that reflects its own values, threats, and vision. We in the UAE have zero tolerance for antisemitism, extremism, or hate. Meanwhile, in places like London or Paris, you can become a media hero if you preach it. So do not lecture us about freedom while you hand microphones to hate. Because if your version of democracy empowers terrorists, then your system is not enlightened, it is infected.

I watched every SEC Football Media Day press conference so you don’t have to. Here’s the best answer from every head coach: -- LSU Coach Lane Kiffin on why personal growth often comes from subtracting, not constantly adding: “If you really want to keep growing, a lot of people add things as they go versus subtracting things that are issues.” “Once you remove something from your life, you start to realize how many other people are addicted to it or need it.” “To be free of that has been interesting because you don’t compare.” “Social media… makes you compare your job, the city you live in, your vacation, your kids, your clothes, your car, your significant other.” “When you don’t see that all day, you’re free of that comparison.” “It’s been a way of being more present.” — Georgia Coach Kirby Smart explains how leaders should operate when their industry is changing rapidly: “What wins football games has not changed. Each coach has to decide within their own program what they want to major in.” You’ve got to be able to wear multiple hats. But you’ve got to choose which hats you want to wear the best.” “I’m not afraid to change what we need to change to be successful. I don’t have an ego that says you have to do it my way. I want to hear how you want to do it, and let’s find the best way.” — Oklahoma Coach Brent Venables on the player who asked for more money before he had earned a role, and how he responded: “Why don’t you worry about playing first before we worry about incentives?” — Kentucky Coach Will Stein on why he believes Kentucky can overcome its history and win at a championship level: “I think because of me, to be honest.” “I know what it takes. I’ve seen it at the highest levels. You’ve just got to believe. You’ve just got to put the ball down and play.” “The best determination of whether what you’re doing is working is putting the ball down and playing football.” “There are going to be bumps in the road. I’m prepared for tough moments and tough times. I already do self-talk with myself: ‘How can I stay neutral when stuff’s bad?’” “You’ve got to go attack. You can’t sit back and wait.That’s one thing I refuse to do at Kentucky—wait.” — Missouri Coach Eli Drinkwitz explains what Ahmad Hardy’s recovery taught him about the real purpose of coaching: “There was that moment where he realized he was mortal. I’ve been very proud of the way he’s approached his recovery and his rehab. His number one responsibility is to be a father, and then after that, to continue to be a great teammate.” “That’s exactly what coaching is all about. It’s about taking young men on a journey from 18 to maturity—and it’s a lifelong process.” “Regardless of how much the business changes or is disrupted, it’s still about helping players achieve their dreams.” “When Ahmad scores his first touchdown this year, I’ll be thinking about that journey from hospital bed to end zone.” — South Carolina Coach Shane Beamer takes complete ownership of South Carolina’s disappointing season and explains how adversity revealed the strength of the program’s culture: “There was no ceiling on the football program at South Carolina, and nothing has changed. We fell woefully short, and that’s on me. We don’t seek comfort from how close we were.” — Vanderbilt Coach Clark Lea on Vanderbilt’s disastrous 2023 season and explains how it became the turning point that eventually led to a 10-win season: “That’s called getting your ass kicked.” “It may have been the most important thing that’s ever happened to me as a head coach and to the program.” “The vision never left us.” “In 15 years, when I look back on this moment, what am I learning right now—not what am I feeling right now?” — Tennessee Coach Josh Heupel explains how to develop an inexperienced quarterback without coaching away what makes him special: “The players have to go learn it, earn it, and compete for it every single day.” “Each one of them is a little bit different. They’re the artist. You’ve got to hand them the paintbrush and let them go paint it.” — Florida Coach John Sumrall explains the attitude he wants to establish at Florida: “I may have some bad moments. I don’t have bad days.” “Attitude is demeanor, drive and desire. Demeanor is your body language. Your drive and desire is the mindset that you’ve never arrived, you can always get better.” — Texas A&M Coach Mike Elko on how he prevents complacency after a playoff appearance: “I show them our trophy case, and it’s empty.” — Ole Miss Coach Pete Golding explains how he defines an elite program beyond wins and football performance: “Elite programs aren’t designed for when they’ve got cleats on. Elite programs are designed for when they take them cleats off.” “Are they a better dude? Are they a better husband? Are they a better father?” — Auburn Coach Alex Golesh explains where real confidence comes from: “Real confidence, not fake confidence, but real, authentic, genuine confidence, comes from elite-level process day in and day out.” — Arkansas Coach Ryan Silverfield explains why rebuilding Arkansas required examining every detail: “The night I got there… I said, ‘We need to fix the light bulbs.’ How you do anything is how you do everything.” “People now are starting to catch on: this is how we need to do this. We need to be better here. We need to support this more.” — Mississippi State Coach Jeff Lebby explains why the next step for a talented young quarterback is not always making more plays—it is learning which plays not to make: “I don’t necessarily put a ceiling on K1. The way he goes about his business on the day-to-day to prepare himself to have success between the white lines—it’s elite.” — Alabama Coach Kalen DeBoer explains why reputation, returning talent and last year’s progress mean nothing until the new team proves it again: “That’s okay, because we’ve got to go prove it. It doesn’t matter how many guys you return.” “Until we prove it, we understand there’s going to be doubt.” — Texas Coach Steve Sarkisian explains how Arch Manning handled being hyped by outsiders, blamed when their predictions failed, and refused to respond publicly: “Arch Manning wasn’t on social media or television saying, ‘I’m going to be the first pick of the draft.’ All he did was work really hard.” “Then those same people wanted to criticize and demean him almost for letting them down because he didn’t live up to what they thought he was going to be.” “What he got put through probably would have melted or destroyed 99% of people in his shoes.” “All he did was stay consistent and true to who he was. He didn’t go back on social media and say, ‘I told you so.’” “I think right now he’s a very dangerous player because he learned a lot from last season.”

In 2009, Lin-Manuel Miranda was invited to perform at the White House. His musical “In The Heights” had just won a Grammy & 4 Tony Awards. So the White House expected him to perform something from Heights. Instead, he debuted a song from a hip-hop concept he’d been working on: Miranda explained that he'd been working on a “concept album about the life of someone I think embodies hip-hop...Treasury Secretary, Alexander Hamilton.” The crowd laughed. “You laugh, but it's true!”Miranda replied. “He was born a penniless orphan in St. Croix of illegitimate birth, became George Washington's right-hand man, became Treasury Secretary...All on the strength of his writing. He embodies the word's ability to make a difference.” Takeaway 1: Whenever Lin-Manuel Miranda told people he was working on a hip-hop concept about a founding father, they did what the White House did—they laughed at him. In fact, the day after that White House performance, Miranda got made fun of during a three-minute rant on The Daily Show. He worked on the concept for 8 years—so, Miranda said, “I had a lot of people laughing and looking at me like I was crazy for a very long time.” In 1817, the poet John Keats wrote a letter to his brothers to share an exciting realization. “At once it struck me,” Keats wrote, “what quality went to form a Man of Achievement … Negative Capability.” Keats explains that “Negative Capability” is “when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, [and] doubts.” Rarer than talent or work ethic, Keats said, is the ability to step into and push through uncertainties and doubts, to continue working on something in spite of people laughing at you or looking at you like you're crazy. Takeaway 2: Rick Rubin was asked what he’s learned through making a lot of different kinds of music with a lot of different kinds of artists. “One thing is,” Rubin said, “never try to judge an idea based on the description of the idea.” There is always a gap between an idea in theory and in reality. Rubin explained, “An artist will say, ‘I have an idea, we can write the bridge like this,’ and they’ll give me a description of the idea, and it sounds terrible—the description sounds terrible. And I say, ‘Great, can’t wait to hear it.’ And then they do it, and it’s incredible…so we never rely on the description. It’s always, ‘show it to me. Let me hear it.’” When Lin-Manuel Miranda gave people a description of his idea, they laughed at him and looked at him like he was crazy. But eventually, Miranda didn’t have to rely on the description of his idea. Eventually, he got to show people "Hamilton," a musical that earned 11 Tony awards, the 2016 Grammy Award for Best Musical Theater Album, the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, the 2017 Billboard Music Award for Top Soundtrack, and the number eight spot on Rolling Stone’s 50 Best Albums of 2015. Never judge an idea based on the description of the idea. - - - “‘That won’t work’ is the worst thing you can ever say. ‘That didn’t work’ is cool, but ‘That won’t work’ is not a way to go through life.” — John Mayer Follow Billy Oppenheimer for more content like this!

Chicago Bears: The Deep Ball Façade As a Chicago Bears truther, I gotta keep it 💯 There are many Bears fans posting “Amazing” out of the pocket deep ball highlights of Caleb Williams Obviously, we don’t see those kinds of throws everyday. It’s insane!! But deep ball playmaking isn’t new to Chicago. Nor is it the focal point of Ben Johnson’s offense. If the Bears are going to be great, we have to become more efficient from the pocket. Pass percentage must go up, time in pocket must come down. Living outside the pocket will hinder our ability to be efficient and to win a Super Bowl #1 Deep Ball was always there Justin Fields in 2023 had one of the most efficient deep balls in the league. Not only that, the majority of his deep balls came from the pocket which is what you want from your QB. As good as the Bears were as a whole last year, the deep ball was far more efficient in 2023. But living on the deep ball and living out the pocket comes with limitations. We have to focus on the fundamentals #2 Ben Johnson is the catalyst Similar to 2023, Bears offense in 2024 had explosive plays followed by inconsistent offense and inept situational football by the head coach Poor offensive line, poor offensive scheme, and inept head coach were the core issues. Ryan Poles thought QB was the main issue and then 2024 happened. We learned quick that it takes more than a talented QB to win football games. Ben Johnson has alleviated all of those concerns. He has made Bears offensive line the focal point! His scheme has been top of the league since he became OC in Detroit. And his situational football awareness far superior than Eberflus. Bears fans must recognize that Ben Johnson is the catalyst of the Bears offensive turnaround, and team success. Now give him what he needs! He wants 3 tight ends? Give it to him He wants more Luther Burden? Give it to him He wants more efficiency out of his QB? Let’s make that the focal point.. #3 Ben Johnson needs a point guard at QB Efficiency in the pocket, time to throw, and passing EPA are far more important to Ben Johnson’s offense than out of pocket deep balls. We need Caleb to be that killer still, but it’s the fundamentals that will allow Bears to take the next step. This offense doesn’t need a Michael Jordan at QB. Ben Johnson would much rather have an Isiah Thomas at QB because this offense has enough Bad Boys to get the job done. Feed the WRs! Get the ball out of your hands quicker! Allow deep ball to be the counter punch of the offense. #4 It’s all there.. The pre-snap awareness, post snap awareness, efficiency from pocket, and pass velocity all scream franchise QB. When you look at Caleb Williams in the pocket on short to intermediate passes, it looks effortless. The ball leaves his hand lightning quick, it’s placed where it’s supposed to be, and WR is able to make a play after the catch. We have to see more of this and it starts now. CW has to trust Ben Johnson’s offense and his WRs more. Conclusion: If we wanted a QB to scramble and throw deep balls, Justin Fields would still be a Chicago Bear What makes Caleb unique, is that he can be a hunter down the field but also has the upside to be a Drew Brees type of QB in the pocket. I rather see more clips of Caleb playing in rhythm and in the pocket , than deep bombs out the pocket. There will be struggles, but that’s ok. I much rather see our QB struggle making the right throws in OTAs than masking it with his gift as an out the pocket thrower.

Let’s make that the focal point.. #3 Ben Johnson needs a point guard at QB Efficiency in the pocket, time to throw, and passing EPA are far more important to Ben Johnson’s offense than out of pocket deep balls. We need Caleb to be that killer still, but it’s the fundamentals that will allow Bears to take the next step. This offense doesn’t need a Michael Jordan at QB. Ben Johnson would much rather have an Isiah Thomas at QB because this offense has enough Bad Boys to get the job done. Feed the WRs! Get the ball out of your hands quicker! Allow deep ball to be the counter punch of the offense. #4 It’s all there.. The pre-snap awareness, post snap awareness, efficiency from pocket, and pass velocity all scream franchise QB. When you look at Caleb Williams in the pocket on short to intermediate passes, it looks effortless. The ball leaves his hand lightning quick, it’s placed where it’s supposed to be, and WR is able to make a play after the catch. We have to see more of this and it starts now. CW has to trust Ben Johnson’s offense and his WRs more. Conclusion: If we wanted a QB to scramble and throw deep balls, Justin Fields would still be a Chicago Bear What makes Caleb unique, is that he can be a hunter down the field but also has the upside to be a Drew Brees type of QB in the pocket. I rather see more clips of Caleb playing in rhythm and in the pocket , than deep bombs out the pocket. There will be struggles, but that’s ok. I much rather see our QB struggle making the right throws in OTAs than masking it with his gift as an out the pocket thrower.

Ugandans, especially the Bazzukulu. Greetings. Day 4 of my corona status, has seen me assault, all day long, 3 loadfulls of government papers. I started at 6:30am (Saa kumi na mbiri, in our African languages, na nusu.) The corona virus, by domesticating me, is helping me to catch up with my paper work. The symptoms are more mild than yesterday. In the night, slight throbbing (enkuratima) in the ruhoorahoore area of the head. This is the part of the head that has a gap in children. Also, some slight roughness on the throat. Otherwise, I am even tempted to do my push-ups, but common sense reminds me not to disturb the bio-chemistry of the body where the war with the enemy (the virus) is going on with additional strains on the body. All the NRM cadres and followers should continue to understand the importance of robust health. I always avoid factors that can cause ill-health, not because I fear being sick but because I detest missing the struggle for Africa’s freedom. Our grand fathers’ generation (the founders of the ANC of South Africa in 1912, George Padamore, W.B. Dubois, Kabalega, etc.), our fathers’ generation (Nkurumah, Kenyatta, Nyerere, Mandela, etc.), our own generation (Samora Machel, Ngaraang, etc.), our children’s and grandchildren’s generations, are generations of the African anti- colonial resistance for Africa to survive and thrive. Our health is, therefore, a weapon in the fight against imperialism and all Africa’s enemies. You cannot fight when you are sick as well as you can fight when you are healthy. I am not sick in bed, but I have been house- confined, since Wednesday 7th when I had a confirmed corona-positive test. Consequently, I missed Heroes Day yesterday, where our daughter Nabbanja did a great job; I could not meet the guests I had invited from UAE and I have cancelled my plan to go to Kisozi tomorrow to supervise the half-yearly de-worming of my cattle. Therefore, health is not only wealth but also part of the weapons of the struggle. Afya ni utajiri na vile vile ni chombo cha mapambano ya kimapinduzi (part of the instruments of the revolutionary struggle). Otherwise, the Heroes Day went well. I thank the organizers and the Rt. Hon. Nabbanja. Our People are beginning to get the message of homestead incomes with ekibaro (cuura, aimar). It is dairy in the cattle corridor and coffee in upper Bulemeezi (Semuto etc.). I thank all the Ugandans that are wishing me a quick recovery. Maama Janet was tested on the 7th evening and all the tests were negative (rapid, PCR, etc.). We thank God for that. We have, therefore, been using different parts of the house ever since. Signed: Yoweri K. Museveni Ssaabalwanyi 10/6/2023

Grüns went from $0 to a $500M valuation in under 2 years in one of the most saturated supplement markets. They built a homepage that converts cold traffic into subscribers -I broke it down section by section. Here's what most brands are sleeping on: 1) The hero positioning "You have nutrition gaps, Grüns fills them." Most brands put their product name and a lifestyle image in the hero section and call it a day. Grüns leads with YOUR problem, not their product. And the CTA? "Save 52% + Free Shipping." Not "Shop Now. A specific discount with a specific incentive. You know exactly what you get if you click. 2) Problem identification Right after the hero they hit you with two stats: "90% of U.S. adults don't meet recommended daily nutrient intake" "61% of Americans experience weekly digestive issues" Both sourced. This is Schwartz 101 - you can't sell a solution to a problem people don't believe they have. Before they ever mention what Grüns does, they make you realize YOU are the problem. Most brands skip this entirely. Grüns takes an extra 5 seconds to make you feel deficient first. Now you're reading the rest of the page looking for the fix. 3) Solid proof This is where it gets smart. "95% of users take Grüns at least 4-6x per week" "67% say their overall health improved" "67% experienced better digestion" "52% feel more energized" And the footnote: "In a post purchase survey of 3k+ customers who've been using Grüns daily." This isn't just "4.8 stars" or a quote from Karen saying "love it!" It's structured, quantified outcome data from 3,000+ real customers. That hits differently. It leverages Specificity Bias - specific percentages from a specific sample size are exponentially more believable than vague claims. If the only social proof on your page is a star rating and some review quotes, you're leaving belief on the table. 4) Product comparison Grüns has a full comparison section: This works because it reframes the buying decision. Instead of "should I buy Grüns?" the prospect is now thinking "which option is better for me?" That's a completely different mental state. You've moved them from considering whether to buy to considering what to buy. Most brands are afraid to name competitors or even acknowledge alternatives exist. Grüns leans into it. Because when you control the comparison, you control the narrative. 5) Celebrity authority placed AFTER belief is already built Shaun White - 3x Olympic Gold Medalist - endorses Grüns on the page. But notice WHERE they placed it. Not in the hero but after the stats, after the customer survey data, after the comparison chart. By the time you see Shaun White, you already believe the product works. The celebrity doesn't create the belief, it confirms it. 6) Review section This is elite. They're not just showing you reviews. They're letting you self select the proof you need most. If your main objection is taste, you click Taste. If you've tried powders and hated them, you click Vs Powders. Every filter speaks to a different objection, a different persona, and a different stage of the buying decision. 7) Offer architecture The pricing section shows: AutoShip & Save vs One Time Purchase Plus, every single line crushes a specific objection. "Pause or cancel anytime" kills the subscription fear. "30-day guarantee" kills the risk. "Ships within 24 hours" kills the waiting anxiety. "HSA/FSA Eligible" opens a whole new wallet. And notice they offer "One Person" and "Two People" pricing. That's not just a quantity discount - it's a social framing play. "Two People" implies this is something you share with your partner. It gives a reason to buy more instead of just buying "2 packs". Take these points and audit your homepage. Bookmark this for your team.

Discipline is overpriced. Incentives are underpriced. New Year's resolutions have a reported ∼91% failure rate. People who announce they're going to run a marathon for charity have an incredible success rate. Why does this gap exist? Incentives > Discipline. The person announcing publicly they're going to run a marathon for charity puts the Tyler Durden gun behind their head. The following forces act like a gun for the marathon runner: • Desire to be consistent • Sunk cost fallacy • Social shame • Being seen as a good person • A cause bigger than themself Discipline will almost always lose to incentives for good behaviour, and negative consequences for bad behaviour. Thought experiment: If the reward for completing new years resolutions was a billion dollars, and the consequence for failing was the death penalty -- what % completion would New Years resolutions have? If you make the reward and consequences big enough -- 100x will power is born. There's few people in history more resourceful than a crack cocaine addict sourcing their next hit. Here's some iconic Tyler Durden gun incentive schemes: 1. The Ticking Clock Elon Musk proposed to George Hotz the following to build vision system for Tesla auto pilot: $12 million payment if it was delivered the next day. For every month that passes where it's not delivered, the payment would be reduced by $1 million. If you had an incentive scheme where dollars disappear like a ticking clock each minute, would you need discipline? Procrastination would not be possible. 2. The Tattoo Mr. Beast and his friend was regularly skipping workouts so they created a bet: If one of them skipped a workout -- they had to get a tattoo of the other person. Guess how many workouts they skipped that year? Zero. ----- Things that usually outperform discipline: • Accountability • Publicly announced deadlines (YC demo day is a great example of this) • Bet money with friends on the activity • Raise money for charity • Coach to report into Discipline is a candle flame. Incentives and consequences are a nuclear reactor. Why rely solely on something that has an alleged 91% failure rate? You wouldn't do this for surgeons, condoms or airplanes. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again -- whilst expecting different results. Raymond K Hessel doesn't need discipline.
