Let it go you old fart

The NBA's first league and cup double: New York Knicks are Larry O'Brien Trophy and NBA Cup winners in 2025-26.

Jalen wanted to play with his Dad. He wanted to sign with the @nyknicks. Wouldn’t have worked out with the Mavs - both him & Luka wanted, NEEDED the🏀ball. He didn’t even talk to the @dallasmavs about a new contract. His mind was made up. Don’t blame the Mavs. Congrats Jalen👏🏆

Brunson signed with the Knicks he wasn't traded moron

Jalen Brunson of the @nyknicks is the second player in NBA history to score 45 points on the road in a title-clinching victory. The other was Michael Jordan at Utah in 1998.

Chris Redman, a former 3rd-round pick by Ravens in 2000, wins the UFL title as a head coach with some help from former teammates. Four members from the 2000 title team are on his coaching staff: Jamie Sharper (DC), Brad Jackson (LBs), Chris McAlister (DBs) and Tony Banks (WRs).

Who do you think they would have taken with the number 1 pick?

Honest Q, because I've seen several of your tweets about American...why not fly another airline?

Best two years of my life. Happy 2nd Anniversary, Court! I love you and Rainey more than I’ll ever be able to put into words. Can’t believe we have a show tonight in the same area we said “I Do” 2 years ago! 6.12 is our day forever.

When Alan and I first got to Fort Hood, all we owned was what we could fit on a 15-foot open trailer. It wasn’t much. We even had to borrow kitchen utensils from a place on post where you could check them out. We had our mattress on the floor, the kids had their bunk beds, and that was about it. He never got a signing bonus, so we arrived with next to nothing. Just a few weeks later, he deployed to Iraq for the first time. For him, the transition from the Marine Corps to the Army was pretty simple. He was still an infantryman. The job was the same. He just had to tone it down a little as a Soldier instead of a Marine. Me? I had no idea what I was doing. One week I was going to class every day in Arkansas. The next, I was dropped into the middle of a military base surrounded by people and a culture I didn’t know. One of the first things I did was find Walmart. Being from Arkansas, I figured if there was a Walmart nearby, I’d be able to find whatever we needed. Anybody who knows anything about the Army knows pay issues happen all the time. He came in as an E-4 with six years of service, but his paperwork took forever to get fixed, so he was being paid as an E-4 with zero years. Needless to say, money was tight. The one thing he wanted to come home to after that deployment was a boat. We loved spending time at the lake, and he wanted to use his deployment money to make sure we could do that. I had a different idea. Remember, we had no furniture. After about two months of sitting on the floor, I’d had enough. We’d finally gotten paid, so I loaded all three kids into the Tahoe and drove down to a little furniture store off Rancier. Anybody who knows Fort Hood knows exactly which one I’m talking about. I spent $1,000 on the biggest OD green couch and loveseat you’ve ever seen. That couch was so wide two people could comfortably lay on it, and I absolutely fell in love. Looking back, spending a thousand dollars on a couch when we had almost nothing probably wasn’t my finest financial decision, but I loved that thing. By the time his homecoming rolled around, I was sitting on that parade field shaking. Part of it was excitement. Part of it was anxiety because I knew exactly what was waiting for him in our duplex in Chaffee Village. The buses finally pulled up and the Soldiers formed up. We spotted him immediately. I’ll never forget the look on his face. I expected him to be excited to see us. I wasn’t prepared for how emotional he was. He was fighting back tears. When they finally released them, he scooped me and all three kids into the biggest bear hug imaginable. Then we went home. The moment of truth had arrived. He walked through that front door, took one look at that couch and loveseat, and just stopped. He was mad. Then he looked at me and said, “For that price, it should’ve come with a motor.” A few months later, we bought a little baby blue tri-hull boat that we named Smurf. He got his boat, and I got my couch. That couch stayed with us for years. In fact, I was sitting on it the day they came to tell me Alan wasn’t coming home. The house was full of chaos. People were talking. Everything felt unreal. Then my eyes landed on that giant OD green couch. Of all the things to be thinking about in that moment, all I could hear was Alan standing in that living room saying, “For that price, it should’ve come with a motor.” And I laughed. God help me, I laughed. Sometimes your mind gives you exactly what you need to survive the moment. 😊

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.

I remember the first time this great song came out.. I love it and it brings back memories of the good old days when it was a simpler time, the music was the best. Brandy (You're A Fine Girl) by Looking Glass.
