Lionel Messi opened up in an interview about why he never needed a traditional agent or big-agency setup and added that he doesn’t need any manager going further “I never needed anyone else after my dad. Jorge handled everything from the beginning,the treatments, the move to Barcelona when I... was 13, every contract, every decision. What he did wasn’t just management… it was generational. He built this with pure trust and family. After him, I wouldn’t need another manager. And honestly, I still don’t. I’m good enough to handle it myself now.” Family loyalty over corporate ruthlessness. Absolute trust over big-agency deals. A father who carried the weight so his son could just play and a son who learned enough along the way to stand on his own. Some still debate whether a family member had the “edge” for the biggest negotiations, but the results speak for themselves: record contracts, total protection of his image, and a career that stayed pure. Jorge Messi didn’t just manage the greatest player of all time. He raised him, protected him, and prepared him for everything that came after. That’s not business. That’s generational. 🇦🇷❤️show more

Cristiano Ronaldo’s Heartfelt Message to Lionel Messi Following the Passing of Jorge Messi 🗣️ “I felt truly heartbroken when I heard the news about the passing of Messi’s father, Jorge Messi. It hit me deeply. First and foremost, may his gentle soul rest in peace. After the initial shock, the first thing I did was call Leo. I told him that I understand how painful it is to lose someone so special, especially your father. I reminded him to stay strong and keep his head high. I know this is one of the lowest points anyone can face, but he needs to find the strength not only for himself but also for his family, who need him now more than ever. Behind closed doors, Leo and I have shared many meaningful moments over the years. He is someone I consider a true friend in the world of football. Because of that, I can feel the pain he is going through right now. There is no rivalry or competition at a moment like this—just two men who respect each other, and one of them is hurting. My thoughts, prayers, and support are fully with Leo, his mother Celia, and the entire Messi family during this difficult time. May Jorge Messi rest in peace.”

Fathers to a son: please read this. We dropped my oldest off at college this week. He is 18. Totally ready to leave the house. Desperate for independence. This is the way it should be. But it has torn me up. Statistically we have spent 90% of all the time we ever will together. I am sad because I know I made a lot of mistakes during this time. Mainly, I was too hard on him because he was the oldest, and he was a boy. I was the oldest, and a son in my family. I repeated some mistakes that were made with me. Even though I was convinced I would do a better job. I spanked him. I used unkind and hurtful words when I thought he fell short. Things that I have learned cause more harm than good. Things I wish I could take back. Basically I was just too damn hard on him. I have learned and (I hope) improved as a father. Which benefits his little sister and brother. I wrote him a long letter before he left. I told him how proud I am of him, tried to give him some words of wisdom, but also apologized for not always being a great dad. I told him I wanted to be the greatest dad in the world, but I didn’t always know how. I explained how I was brought up, and my father was brought up, and that I had brought some stuff along as a dad that I hope he is smart enough to leave behind when he is a dad. I know my grandfather had it ROUGH. My dad had it a bit less ROUGH. I had it by comparison better, and my son did too. However I could have and should have done a better job in my link of this chain of fatherhood. I am confident my son will do better when it is his turn. To the dads out there, especially with your oldest son…try not to be so hard on him. He doesn’t need to feel the weight of all of your expectations of a family lineage, he doesn’t need to be made into a clone of you, he doesn’t have to be made ready to be your “successor”. Watch how you discipline him…think very carefully about what you are trying to do and what the expected results will be. He just needs to be a good man and to be happy. And you need to keep a good relationship with him.

"I did it for me." For years Walt hides behind the same word. Family. He cooks for his family. Lies for his family. Kills for his family. Destroys people for his family. And Skyler is done with it. She doesn't even let him start. If I have to hear one more time that you did this for the family Then he says it "I did it for me. I liked it. I was good at it. And I was really... I was alive." He did care about them. He also loved the power. Loved being feared. Loved being great at something after a lifetime of feeling overlooked and underpaid and smaller than he thought he deserved. Nothing gets fixed by him saying it. Hank is dead. Walt Jr. hates him. Jesse is chained in a basement. The money never saved any of it. But he stops performing. No more noble provider. No more misunderstood father. No more everything I did, I did for this family He liked it. He was good at it. And for a while, it made him feel alive

Brad Pitt’s favorite Adam Sandler story: Sandler’s acting professor didn’t think he was good enough for acting, so he took him out for a beer to tell him gently. “You just don’t have it.” Then one day, Sandler was with his friends in a bar at the height of his career. He was getting big paychecks and all that. He looked over at a table and realized it was his professor. He had the perfect chance to rub it in his face. But he didn’t. He just introduced his friends to him and simply said: “That’s the only teacher who ever bought me a beer.”

“I have a son in the USA, when he got to the USA, he started working at a restaurant, and after sometime, he got a restaurant of his own, then he told me to come bless the place for him. I went there and prayed for him and he began to prosper. He needed a manager and the man who was his boss is the man he later employed” Pastor Adeboye

This man was criticized for expecting a “thank you” for a good deed. He always saw the same man walking when he drove to work. He assumed the man was walking because he did not have any other means of transportation. He used his own money and bought the man an electric scooter, the man took the scooter and just silently walked away, no thank you or anything else at all. I don’t think that was too much to ask, a thank you goes a long way, otherwise it makes people look ungrateful. Back in college, I had a classmate that I always saw walking home after class. It didn’t matter whether it was raining or snowing, or hot out. Whenever I drove past him he always looked miserable and I could tell he didn’t like to walk all the time. In class I had asked him where he lived, and I found out it was on my way home so I offered to drop him off because it was really cold out and had snowed about a foot. He agreed and we chatted on the way home, nothing serious just pleasant conversation. I dropped him off and went on my way home. For me this was a one time thing, I only offered because how bad it was snowing. After class the next day, he walked with me and when I got to my car he got in. I didn’t agree or offer him a ride that day but he assumed that since I was ok with giving him a ride the day prior that I would be ok with it this day too. I didn’t say anything about it because at this point I didn’t care really. So the next day came and went, once again he walked with me to the car but that day was different. I wouldn’t be going his way because I had to work after class. So before I got to the car I said “I’ll see you tomorrow.” He looked dumbfounded and said aren’t you taking me home? I said no, I have to get to work. He then asked me how he would get home, and I told him the same way you always have. He then gave me excuses for why I was being a jerk because I was making him walk in the cold. I didn’t argue I just told him I helped him out when I could, but I wasn’t about to go out of my way because he didn’t have a car and besides I didn’t want to be late for work. He didn’t speak to me for the rest of the semester because of it, something tells me I was better off not offering to help in the first place.

In 2021, Amanda wrote about her late husband, All Elite Wrestling wrestler Jon Huber, also known as Brodie Lee. On his birthday, we remember his legacy: “I hope that, when people remember Jon, they mention one of the bravest things he ever did: He had unresolved trauma — and he confronted it. I’m not going to go into every detail here, because I think some things are private. But one area that I will detail a bit is how therapy helped Jon finally come to terms with the death of his dad. Jon’s dad was his hero — he meant everything to him. And when he died (in November of ’01, just a handful of months before Jon and I met), Jon was a wreck. It was a devastating loss. But over the years, I think he’d kind of ‘blocked out’ a lot of how that devastation had impacted him. And it was therapy that gave him the strength to start unblocking it. He started to confront the fact that, after his dad’s passing, he found it hard to let new people in. The idea of getting truly close to anyone, and building them into his life, only to experience that level of loss again…. that scared the hell out of Jon. And what scared him even more, he realized, was the idea of ever dying young like his dad did — and abandoning someone else. The idea of anyone who loved him feeling the pain of losing him forever…. that terrified Jon. And he’d thought he never wanted marriage, and never wanted kids, for just that reason. I won’t lie — writing this, there are a lot of complicated emotions attached. The irony of it can be overwhelming to think about: how the exact fear that troubled Jon most, the fear that he finally got over….. it ended up biting him in the ass. It ended up coming true. But I also try not to think about it that way. Instead, I try to think about a man who did the bravest thing imaginable — a thing that ended up saving our relationship, and making our family possible. I try to think about a man who asked me for ONE more chance….. and who promised me that, if I gave it to him, he’d be the best husband, and best father, I ever met. And he was.”

Michael Jordan reveals the decision framework his father taught him before his murder that he still uses every day: "The thing that I remember the most about my father, and I had him for 32 years, and I never look at it from a negative sense. Obviously he was murdered, and rarely do I get the chance to talk about him." "The thing that I do remember all the time, I think about him practically every day, is for a person like myself who lives in the spotlight and so critical from people all the time in terms of what I do, what I say, where I go." "The thing he always said is, take a pause before you make a decision and say what if. The purpose for saying what if is that whatever decision you make is always either going to have consequences, pros and cons."

Today, I rescued a young man from the streets of Nairobi along Moi Avenue. He approached me and requested that I take him to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport. However, he had no travel documents or even a national identification card. After engaging him in a conversation, I realized that what he truly needed was help and specifically, mental health support. I decided to take him to Mathare Mental Hospital, but since he was fixated on going to the airport, I gently told him that I was taking him to Mathare International Airport. Upon arrival at the hospital and after an initial assessment, he was admitted for treatment. We contacted his mother, who at first didn’t want to be associated with him due to the many difficulties he had caused her. But I took time to speak with her, convincing her that her son needed help not rejection. I reminded her that despite all he had done, she shouldn't abandon him to the world to "teach him a lesson." What he needed most was love, care, and a chance at recovery.

I should have did this from the start when my nephews friend would come over for playdates eating all of the food. This man was tired of the neighbor kids taking advantage of the fact he keeps a stocked mini fridge with delicious drinks and ice cold fruit and snacks. The man felt bad and didn’t want to cut them off but he was tired of restocking it daily, he came up with a clever compromise, he bought a lock for it. Weeks after I put my foot down and didn’t let the kid come hang out with my nephew anymore, the dad, I think his name was Otis, accused me of being a bad host and petty. He said that when people welcome each other into their home that they should do everything to make them feel comfortable. I replied I agree and we did but lines were crossed and his son took advantage, what silenced him on the spot was when I asked Otis why was my nephew never allowed into his home to experience his generous hospitality, it was always our home. I also reminded him how he still owed me gas money and how weird it was asking a stranger for gas money right after meeting somebody. That’s when he called me petty and that if I couldn’t spare $20 I shouldn’t have given it to him. From that point on I told my nephew that kid wasn’t allowed over and that he was using him. Was I out of line here? His dad sure thinks I was.

🚨🗣️ Diego Simeone on his son’s energetic performance against Barcelona: “I spoke to him before the match and told him what was at stake, and he understood the instructions clearly.” “He told me he was going to give everything until the final whistle… and that’s exactly what he did.” “I’m hearing people talk about doping, and I can say clearly — that is completely false.” “What you saw was his work, his discipline, and his mentality.” “He didn’t stop, he didn’t fade… and honestly, he could go another 90 minutes if needed.” “That’s just who he is.”

Big Hank is one of those dogs who just couldn’t fit in. When we first found him he had horrible flesh wounds and was full of maggots eating him. He wouldn’t have survived long. After getting him fixed up the answer from his “owners” was simple… keep him. After a lot of effort and luck I found him unbelievable owners in Bangkok who tried everything but it just didn’t work out with their 6 dogs. Despite their brilliant efforts and patience Hank was just too big and too disruptive. He come back to the sanctuary. I didn’t know what to do at that stage. He’s an older, bigger dog with a bad leg injury now and he doesn’t get on with other males. Chances of adoption were close to zero. Hank himself was also miserable. You could tell he’d just had enough in this world of not fitting in. Thats when I decided to bring Hank home. I’d recently had 4 dogs pass that I cared for with various life ending illnesses so the house was quiet. I only take in the ones who have no real options left. It turned out that myself and Hank needed each other in equal measure. Finally for the first time in his life Hank was home. He’s completely changed as a dog. I can’t explain how much he loves his home. Every single walk he sprints home at top speed the second he sees the house. He can’t get back inside quick enough. It’s just a simple couch, some food and some love but that’s all he ever wanted in his life. Love you big Hank.

Carlos Alcaraz says he initially wasn’t sure if he was cramping or if it was an issue with his adductor during his match against Zverev, ‘I just told what happened to the physio & he decided to take a medical’ “I didn’t think it was cramps at all at the beginning. I didn’t know exactly what it was. I ran to a forehand and started to feel it in the right adductor. That’s why I called the physio. Because it was just that moment, the rest of the legs.. the left leg was good. Not good but decent. After that with all the stress I didn’t know what was going on. I didn’t know if it was going to be worse or not. In that moment I just talked to the physio and said ‘Ok I just went to run to the forehand side and I started to feel the right adductor.’ He decided to take the medical time out and he did it. I just told what happened to the physio and he decided to take a medical.” (via Australian Open Press)

“For a long time, I was a guest in our house” Thierry Henry speaks from his soul. He has depth. He’s a man in touch with himself. I recall some years ago, he spoke about how much he wanted to please his father on Steven Bartlett Diary of a CEO podcast. Everything he aimed to achieve was to please the voice that rang in his head, telling him to do it better. His father stood behind him while he built a career, probably saw the good many never saw. As a father, he also mentioned how COVID-19 changed his life. It was the point he chose his family. That was probably why he said at some point, he became a guest in his house. Men become guests in their house. There was a Reminisce Alaga interview I saw. I think it was on ISaidWhatISaidPod. He said there was a point he went into his daughter(s) room and asked when they painted the wall pink. His wife told him it’s been there for two years. He said that was the point he thought it important to rest on the tours and be with his children. At that point, he probably was a guest in his house. Men’s lives are not easy. Footballers especially — elite footballers most especially are like tour musicians. They’re often on the road. You’re playing away games round the country, spending three days or more away from home when you have continental away games. Gabriel Jesus spoke about the same thing in his recent interview with The Players’ Tribune titled “A Letter to My Family and my Arsenal Family”. He said football made him distant but his ACL injury brought him closer. “I wasn’t the husband and father that I needed to be,” he said. When his wife gave birth to his daughter, he said he only held her for one day. Brazil called and he had to go. And he was a guy who grew up without a father. For his child at the time, he was there now but wasn’t there too. “I always promised myself: When I become a father, I will always be there for my kids. “When Helena was born, I was not living up to that. I was there, but I was always distracted, you know? Always catching a flight.” That’s the tough decisions men have to make sometimes. At the point of growth and ascent, life will ask questions, and difficult decisions will need to be made. Hopefully, it will be one that won’t damage the future. The future one is securing.

🚨🎙️Giorgio Chiellini:For me, Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest player of all time. Messi is a phenomenal footballer, one of the best the game has ever seen, but Ronaldo is different when the pressure is at its highest. He turns up in the biggest moments, especially in finals. Time and time again, he has delivered when his team needed him most. “People talk about talent, but the hardest thing in football is scoring goals consistently, and Cristiano has done that for nearly two decades at the highest level. That’s why I call him the most clutch player I’ve ever seen. When trophies are on the line, you always expect Ronaldo to make the difference. “I had the privilege of playing alongside Cristiano at Juventus, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Seeing his mentality up close was incredible. Every training session, every match, he demanded the best from himself and everyone around him. “Before we became teammates, he was one of the hardest players I ever had to defend against. You could never relax because he always found a way. Whenever his team needed a goal or a big performance, he raised his level. That’s what separates the greatest from the rest. For me, Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest footballer of all time.”

🚨New: Sir Alex Ferguson on the Messi, Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo GOAT debate: • Interviewer: Sir Alex, the debate never ends — Messi, Pelé, Maradona, Ronaldo. Who is the greatest of all time for you? 🗣️Ferguson: “I’ve been asked this question more times than I can count over the years, and for a long time I refused to give a straight answer because the debate was still open. It isn’t open anymore. Messi’s World Cup in 2022 was the final piece. Before that tournament he already had everything else, the Champions Leagues, the league titles in different countries, the Ballons d’Or, the individual brilliance that no one could match. The only thing missing was the World Cup. He went and got it. When a player completes the full set like that, the conversation changes. He has now completed football. Every major trophy, every individual award, every level of the game. That closes the debate for me. Because of that completion, Messi sits clearly above Pele, Maradona and Ronaldo. I’m not saying the other three weren’t great. Of course they were. But the ledger is now complete for Messi in a way it never was for the others, and that has to count. Now, people will jump on the fact that Cristiano was my player. He was. He is still my boy in many ways. I have huge affection and respect for him, the hunger, the work rate, the way he rebuilt himself season after season. That part is emotional for me. But the ranking itself is no longer emotional. It’s factual. You separate the personal from the professional when the evidence is this clear. Let’s be honest about what Cristiano is. He is the more adaptable, all-round player. Different leagues, different systems, different styles of play. He could score with either foot, with his head, from distance, from six yards. He could lead a dressing room, he could carry a team on pure willpower, and he stayed at the highest level for an absurd length of time. No serious person denies any of that. Physical dominance, leadership, versatility — he has those qualities in abundance. But adaptable is not the same as greatest. In pure footballing terms — the genius of the first touch, the vision, the consistency at the absolute peak for over a decade, and now the complete trophy case — Messi is on another level. Ronaldo is not close in that specific sense. One is an extraordinary athlete and competitor who maximised every ounce of his talent. The other is simply a better footballer. That’s the distinction. Pele and Maradona were gods of their eras, no question. But the modern game is harder, deeper, and more athletic. The athletic demands, the tactical organisation, the quality of opposition week after week, it’s a different beast. Messi dominated a far stronger era for longer than either of them managed. That has to be recognised. I’m not sentimental about this. Sentiment is for fans and for the media. When you strip it back to what actually happened on the pitch and in the trophy cabinet, the answer is clear. Cristiano is an extraordinary athlete and competitor. Messi is just a better footballer. You can love Ronaldo more. You can respect him more. You can prefer his story, his personality, his work ethic. All of that is fair. What you cannot do is put him above Messi anymore. The ledger is closed.” Cristiano is an all-time great. Messi is the greatest. That’s just how it is now.”

Jude Bellingham reflects on his clash with Lionel Messi during England’s World Cup semi-final defeat to Argentina. 🗣️ “Football is played with emotion, and in a World Cup semi-final I let that emotion get the better of me. I tried to provoke Messi because I thought it might distract him. Looking back now… it was probably the worst decision I made all night.” “We were leading 1-0 and I felt we had control. After our exchange, he didn’t argue back. He didn’t lose his temper. He just looked at me, gave a small nod and walked away. At the time I didn’t think much of it.” “But a few minutes later, I realised exactly what that nod meant.” “It was like he had accepted the challenge. Suddenly every time he touched the ball, something dangerous happened. He stopped forcing things, started controlling the tempo and made the entire game revolve around him. Then came the two assists that completely changed the match.” “I’ll never forget the moment Argentina scored their second goal. I looked over at Messi and remembered that nod. That’s when it hit me. I just stood there thinking, ‘It’s over… he’s done it again.’” “I’ve faced great players before, but I’ve never seen anyone respond to pressure like that. Most players react with anger when you provoke them. Messi reacts with football. That’s what makes him so frightening.” “I regret trying to get into his head because all I did was bring out the very best version of him. We had one foot in the World Cup final, and he ripped that dream away with two moments of pure genius.” “That nod wasn’t frustrationit was confidence. Looking back now, I think Messi already knew something the rest of us didn’t. Once he reached that level, deep down I knew England were in serious trouble.”

Denzel Washington’s epic monologue towards the end of Training Day was largely improvised on set. Director Antoine Fuqua was so blown away by his performance, he says he thinks he "forgot to yell cut”. He explains… “That’s Denzel. He was just in his zone. I mean, that was one of those moment...people talk about AI. Those are the moments where you go...it's a great tool. It's gonna be a great tool, I think...but the emotion, and the moment that an actor can bring - you can't predict that. That's something that's just inside of Denzel. And when that came out, I was just like - I hope I got it. I just turned to my operator - who was shaking- I looked over at the guy - I was like, “please tell me you got that.” Because that was the take. That was it. There was no other take - I mean, how do you tell an actor like that, that that wasn't good enough? …He walked over to me, and he just had this look in his eyes. I was like, “you good?” He said, “you good?” I said, “Yeah…” Some of that was in the script, but he flipped it the way he did it. "Putting cases on all you." He kind of added some things in there. And then he just went into a whole other zone with the whole King Kong thing- with Pelican Bay - Denzel started that. That was Denzel. That was him, man. He just kind of lit up, and I think I forgot to yell cut. I was just watching it, because everybody started walking away, and I'm just watching him, and then he lights a cigarette - and he's talking - and I'm just watching him. I think at some point he probably looked at me like, you going to cut? And I'm like, “oh yeah, yeah, cut.” He was still in it. That's the thing with Denzel. He was so Alonso…I'm just watching him for a while because I didn't know what else he was going to do. It was just so magical. And then I think he looked up at me and I was like, “Okay, cut, cut.”
