I am going to make a motion at the next SBC to only book convention venues that have contracts with Coke, not Pepsi. We need to have our priorities straight. #SBC26

Just under 70% of babies in the US found with disabilities in utero are aborted.
I recognize I’m biased given my own disability, but I can tell you without a doubt my life & every disabled life is worth it.
I do not say it has been an easy life but it has been an amazing one. A life worth both savoring and protecting.

His mistake was letting the marines take the fall instead of having their backs

Childhood is when you think Tom Cruise's the hero. You become a man when you realize it was Jack Nicholson: he did what was necessary.

You didn’t “lose” the child, you had it killed. It wasn’t an “impossible decision,” you all made a free decision to kill the child because it was going to have a disability. You should not be getting death threats but the baby did not deserve to be killed.

Like I said. The NBA is unwatchable. And it’s trickling down to kids.

SGA just fell down on the shot completely UNTOUCHED
This is the most SHAMELESS basketball player I've ever seen and the refs keep letting him get away with it

I bet they were also saying “man if we got a chance to play against the best teams in nation & weren’t DQd bc of two close losses, that would be awesome.”

I bet Booger and LSU celebrated going to the Peach Bowl in 1996 with a 10-2 record and a No. 17 ranking like crazy because back then ESPN wasn't there to tell them that their season was meaningless because they didn't make the playoffs.
In 1997, nobody was telling his LSU squad, which lost two games by less than a touchdown and had a win over the number one Florida Gators, that their season was a failure. They were excited for their bowl game. That was an excellent season. We used to recognize that.
But if Booger played today, he'd be told those seasons don't matter because they didn't make the playoffs.
This is what I'm talking about in terms of what we've lost in a sport with the focus on such a narrowly drawn playoff.

The nba is unwatchable. Players fall down and no travel call. Players violate the lane on FTs. No call. It’s ridiculous

It’s not even a better tradition in the state of Florida. Miami’s smoke and noles tomahawk chop are superior. By far.

“Tell him to enter the password he knows is correct. Inform him it is incorrect. Invite him to reset it. Watch as he enters the password he believed it to be all along. Then tell him he cannot use it… because it is his current password.”

It’s a rainy Thursday on Carson-Newman University’s campus. A few minutes before noon. But the late February overcast doesn’t dampen spirits of the students filing into the conference room.

The team with the longest sec win streak right now is … Miami
Apr 27
Miami defeated a TOTAL of 5 draft picks during conference play.
Vanderbilt defeated a TOTAL of 30 draft picks during conference play.
The committee MUST STOP allowing teams with NO RESUME in the playoff for the sake of “conference diversity.”
