A very very special man who made such a broad impact-- and loved doing it. Had fun, worked hard, selfless. A hero who was a cowboy.

Last week we celebrated the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day. 🇨🇦 One of the Canadians who landed on Juno beach mentioning what he thought was one of his life’s greatest accomplishments. You may remember him playing the character Scotty on Star Trek. The late James Doohan a true hero

July 6, 1936, Route 66, New Mexico. This is Martha Evans, 32. She had been walking for three days. Her husband died of tuberculosis in Oklahoma in May. The farm was foreclosed. She took the six kids and a Radio Flyer wagon and started west for California. The twins in the wagon were 11 months old. The boys walking were 6, 5, 4, and 3. Her dress was torn on barbed wire. Her leg was cut and infected. She wrapped it with a feed sack. She had $1.60 in her pocket. A photographer from the Resettlement Administration saw them and pulled over. He offered her a ride. She said no. She said if she took a ride now, the kids would expect one every time they were tired. She gave him her name and kept walking. The photo ran in newspapers across the country. Donations came to a PO box in Barstow. She got $200 and a bus ticket. She made it to Bakersfield and picked grapes. All six kids lived. Three went to college. Martha died in 1978. The wagon is in the Smithsonian.

One of one! How remarkable the @LaSportsHall 2019 inductee was with his ability to shake up a game or break up an audience

B Stro Boys. Building the SEC Baseball coaches since 2000. And The SEC Commissioner too

Powerful concept — want to be a highly successful coach (or succeed on anything) — excel in problem solving…Dale Brown used to refer to “problems” as “opportunities.” Terminology made a difference in framing your mindset.

The most important lesson i learned from Dale Brown was that there is no greater power than the power to choose our own attitude.

When you have to release a 22-minute video explaining why *you need to keep someone on your team*.... it probably means that player shouldn't actually be allowed to be on your team 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

This has happened before but there was a very different reaction. A Big 12 starting QB bet on his own team, got caught, lost his eligibility — and there was no outcry from Iowa State or Cyclone fans. All parties accepted the one and only outcome.

Everyone always talking about “talent density” in Silicon Valley when we really should be talking about how 80% of pretzels in America come from a small region of Pennsylvania

JKT! And it all began when he got cut from his 7th-grade hoop team & decided to go out for track & field. 8 years later, here we are ⤵️

When Donald Trump went to see the Knicks they lost to break a 13 game winning streak. When Taylor Swift went they staged the greatest comeback in NBA playoff history. 🤔🤔🤔

Roberto Clemente has 65 more career outfield assists than any player born after 1909. This is why.
