While many around the league don’t expect any linebackers to be drafted tonight, if there is one, it certainly could be #TexasAM’s Edgerrin Cooper. Cooper is the most complete LB in the 2024 draft class. He’s shown to be: 1️⃣an elite athlete 2️⃣a consistent and impactful run defender 3️⃣a capable and efficient blitzer, and 4️⃣able to use his size and bend to disrupt in pass protection As a run defender, he finished with an 87.6 PFF grade, highest among any expected draft linebackers in this year’s draft class. That includes 15 TFLs or no gain plays. As you can see (🎥), his downhill force plus balance and control allows him to consistently win in the run game As a pass rusher, he had 7 sacks on the year, 4 of which came from playing on the line of scrimmage. When lined up on the line of scrimmage, he generated a pressure on over 30% of his pass rush snaps. Elite ‼️ And in coverage, he finished with a top-10 coverage grade int eh country last season (per PFF College) among LBs lined up in the box. He’s able to use his length and bend, along with developed vision and timing to disrupt plays from the box. Couple all of that with a 4.51 forty time and would-be impressive athletic testing numbers if he was 100% for the draft process (why he wasn’t able to officially go every day in practice at East-West Shrine Bowl), and it’s hard to ignore his NFL starting potential. There’s a real chance he goes in late round one, but if he’s there on Day 2, he may not only be one of, if not the, first linebacker drafted, but may be one of the first players taken on Day 2 of the draft. #ShrineBowlWhosNext

🙏🇺🇸🙏 He was 22 years old. Still closer to high school than middle age. Yet he was already leading in war. On January 15, 2006, in Baqubah, Iraq, Army Corporal Dustin L. Kendall was conducting combat operations with the 1st Battalion, 68th Armor Regiment, 3rd Heavy Brigade Combat Team, 4th Infantry Division out of Fort Carson, Colorado. The streets were tense. Every patrol carried risk. Every doorway could hide danger. That day, the danger found him. Dustin was k*lled in action. In a single violent moment, a son from Conway, Arkansas, became a folded flag. Behind every rank is a story. Dustin was not just a Corporal. He was someone's child. Someone's friend. Someone who once laughed without the weight of body armor on his shoulders. He chose to serve when others stayed home. He accepted responsibility when others hesitated. They carry the lives of those beside them. They move first. They set the tone. They stand steady when fear creeps in. In Iraq, that meant long patrols under harsh sun. Sleepless nights. The constant awareness that a mission could turn deadly without warning. He kept showing up. He kept wearing the uniform. He kept leading. When news reached Arkansas, the world paused for a moment. Flags lowered. Names spoken softly. A community grieving together. Then time moved forward. But for his family, January 15, 2006, never truly passed. Dustin L. Kendall gave everything at 22. He will never grow older. Never start a second career. Never sit on a porch years from now telling stories about youth. His story ended in Iraq. But his courage dia not. It lives in the men he served beside. It lives in the memory of a town that will not forget. He stood his ground. And he paid the ultimate price 🙏🇺🇸🙏 Young leaders like him carry more than equipment.

OK, I have a definitive word on the CJ Abrams play from today's Pittsburgh Pirates at Washington Nationals game after talking with Elias Sports Bureau on this. This play will stay as a sacrifice fly. The originial ruling of NOT a sacrifice fly was for the exact same reason that I thought, which is that the infielder is not running into the outfield, which is year's past would have been correct As it was explained to me, in past years, an infielder had to be running almost in a straight line towards the outfield wall to be considered "running in the outfield". Here, since he is running, and he ends up further away from home (157 feet) than when he started (145 feet), this is going to count as a sacrifice fly. That definition is changing, in part from this play to help bring greater consistency, and to take some of the guesswork out of it (the argument that he is running into the outfield as opposed to more parallel). Now, folks all the time ask "why doesn't MLB publish the OS Manual" and I always say because it is a living document that can have the wording change, and the wording for this play will be modified to something like "more towards the outfield wall than towards home plate" to eliminate any confusion. The big key to this play is that he was running on a full sprint. Also, and this is helpful for me, but for all fly ball outs that score a run, Elias Saba reviews to ensure consistency. So, yes, it's a sacrifice fly, and now that I have that info from Elias themselves, that sort of settles this one. Sounds like the guidelines for this definition will be changing, either this season, or certainly for next season.

Two years ago, my son was nonverbal at two years old. After 6 months of therapy and testing, an entire panel of doctors diagnosed him with Autism. Selfishly in the moment, I asked, “Will he ever be able to ski, golf, and play sports normally with other kids?” Their answer: “Although it’s not out of the question, it’s highly unlikely.” Both my wife and I were crushed. Not because of the diagnosis or the fact that these “professionals” just put a two-year-old they met with for less than an hour in a box for the rest of his life. We were crushed because, in one single answer, my wife’s dreams of teaching her son soccer and mine of teaching him golf, skiing, and basketball seemingly went out the window. It was something we had both dreamed about our entire lives. Two years later, my son not only talks but can also read, count, spell, play basketball, and do pretty much everything any other four-year-old can do. And today, his first time ever putting on skis, he skied 30 yards all by himself on his 3rd run. The best part - he just wants to go again and again. I've never been happier or more proud. Today, all of my dreams came true. So, to all the parents out there, don't let others' expectations define what is possible for your child. ➡️ Keep pushing ➡️ Keep believing ➡️ Keep dreaming You're not alone in this journey. Keep your hopes alive because miracles happen every day, and your kids are stronger than you think.

The ground shook on Iwo Jima in 1945. Smoke choked the air. Marines were pinned down, nowhere to run. And in that frozen second, a 17-year-old made a decision no one should ever have to make. Jacklyn Lucas was just a teenager. He had lied about his age to join the fight. Too young for war. Too young for what was coming. But there he was, on a battlefield that did not care how old you were. Then it happened. Two enemy grenades landed near his fellow Marines. No time to think. No time to hesitate. Lucas moved. He threw himself directly onto both grenades, pressing them into the sand with his body. He knew what it meant. He knew what would happen next. The explosions hit. Sand, metal, and shock tore through him. His body absorbed the blast meant for everyone else. Around him, Marines who should have been gone were still breathing. He had taken it all. By some miracle, he survived. But survival came at a cost. His body was shattered. Dozens of wounds. Long months of recovery. Pain that never truly left. At 17, he had already given more than most people ever will. He received the Medal of Honor. One of the youngest ever. But medals do not follow you home at night. The war stayed with him. The memories. The weight of that moment. The knowledge of what he did and what it took from him. He lived a long life after that day. But the world moved on. The story faded. The boy who jumped on 2 grenades so others could live slowly became just another forgotten name in history. 17 years old. One decision. A lifetime of scars. And today, almost nobody remembers. 🙏

My entire Polymarket strategy right now is Ctrl+C on a wallet making $20K a month and Ctrl+V on my account. Yeah. I know how that sounds. 6 months ago I would have closed the chat on anyone who said this. Probably blocked them too. But here is where I am: last month, +$2,700. Trading decisions I made: 0. For context, my best month of manual trading was $580. And that took 3-4 hours a day. Let me back up. For 6 months I was a "real trader." Charts on 2 monitors. 3 Discord alpha groups. NOAA weather data at 2 AM because someone said temperature markets were free money. Spreadsheets tracking 40 wallets. Every thread read. An opinion on every market. Average month: somewhere between $400 and "I would rather not say." I was very busy. Just not very profitable. Then something clicked. Not an insight about markets. An insight about me. The wallets I was tracking, the ones pulling $15K-$30K a month, had data pipelines, sub-second execution, and models I could not replicate in a year of trying. I was not competing with other retail traders. I was competing with infrastructure. You do not outrun a car. You get in the car. So I stopped. Stopped picking markets. Stopped reading forecasts. Stopped setting 3 AM alarms for data drops. Found 3 wallets with 90+ day track records and consistent returns. Not the flashy ones posting $3M screenshots on Twitter. The boring ones pulling 4-6% weekly on liquid markets. Connected automatic copying. 1 evening. Maybe 15 minutes of actual setup. That was 5 weeks ago. 1st week I checked the dashboard every 2 hours. Old habits. 2nd week, once a day. Now I check maybe every 5 or 6 days. Trades execute on their own. I do not choose markets. I do not analyze odds. I do not decide position sizes. 5 weeks in: +$3,100 total. Same capital that would have made me $300-400 doing it manually. Same money. Different operator. Or rather, no operator. I did not make a single trading decision. That was the whole point. The logic is short: top wallets have speed, data, and execution you and I will never have. You can not beat them. But you can stand next to them and do exactly what they do, at roughly the same time, in the same markets. The tool I use: PMX 1 evening. 15 minutes. 0 decisions since: 6 months of charts taught me less than 1 evening of copying. Turns out the smartest move in trading is not trading at all.

Less than one year in charge, on the 7 April 2023 the EFF were sworn in, in Ekurhuleni . Five MMC’s and the Speaker. An EFF puppet AIC's Sivuyile Ngodwana was elected mayor. Ekurhuleni was now FULLY controlled by the EFF, MMC of Finance and Gauteng EFF chair, Nkululeko Dunga,was fully running the show. They decimated the finances of the municipality. They looted like never before. They outsourced security guards they were previously insourced, so Malema could allegedly loot. The municipality was downgraded by rating agencies. A company in the JSE nearly get suspended from trading in the stock exchange because The EFF’s Dunga was hiding the Finances, cooking them. The municipality bill with Eskom jumped up to BILLIONS OWING. The finances were depleted to such an extent a day came when the municipality with the EFF’s Dunga in charge as finance head and defacto mayor. Then on a very dark day for South Africa, on the 29 February 2024, when a motion of no confidence was to be passed against the EFF puppet mayor, when the EFF saw they were going to lose, one of the most violent displays by politicians in democratic South Africa was shown live on TV prime time. When the EFF bashed, thrashed other councillors, they swore, they threw papers and in that fracas an EFF councillor was caught stealing the mayors phone. They are thieves thru and thru. When they don’t get their way they become violent. They completely destroyed the municipality in less than a year. Bankrupt. BILLIONS illegal tenders. We still not sure about the relationship they had with Vusi “cat” Matlala. A miracle happened on the 11 April 2024. Details to follow. These are some of the images we so used to from the EFF:

Clonsilla today. Near Umar Al Qadri's mosque. The women must be baked in those rig outs. The Muslim holiday on June 26th is the Day of Ashura (10 Muharram), which marks the primary day of fasting and remembrance on the Islamic calendar. In many Muslim-majority regions (such as Pakistan), it is also an officially recognised public holiday. Last year during the same celebration we had a Muslim man declare in Dublin's city centre that Ireland belongs to them. While I doubt any such declaration was made in Clonsilla today, people should take note that there are seemingly more Muslims gathering together for their milestone calender dates in Ireland than there are Christians gathering for their significant calendar dates. That's only going to lead to one outcome. Food for thought (or halal food for thought perhaps). The point is it is the fastest growing religion in the world and this is not just down to births but is also down to conversion. Islam is ever more present in Europe too, in large part due to immigration (and hateful attacks on Christians and Christian churches, statues and relics are on the rise too). I once read in The Guardian that Europe would be 70 or 80% Muslim by 2070 or there abouts. I cannot find that article now. Maybe it was scrubbed. But it probably wasn't far off the mark. Islam is a conquering religion. That is a fact. Christianity is not. That void created by secularism and atheism and communism and all the isms will be filled. Fact.
