I’m in my fifties and was a Cubs fan at the time. As painful as the 1984 NLCS turned out, there is an easy case to make that this is the greatest year in my lifetime for combined sports and pop culture.

I get that the Justin Herbert standard of quarterback success/value applies only to Justin Herbert, but this seems to be going to a lot of trouble for a guy who was 0-8 in November as a starter the last two seasons.
A message to the Texas Tech community from our leadership.

ICYMI 🔊 #Procurement's biggest challenge often isn't strategy — it's execution. Clear goals mean little without ownership, accountability and a structured path to action. For #supplychains, results come from execution systems, not PowerPoint slides.

ICYMI ⚡ AI's biggest impact on #supplychains may be what it gives back: time. As automation handles routine tasks and #AI agents support complex workflows, #procurement teams can focus more on strategic decision-making, supplier relationships and risk.

ICYMI 🌎 The Strait of Hormuz disruptions are about more than oil. Rising fuel costs, longer routes and freight volatility are exposing how vulnerable efficiency-focused #supplychains can be — and resilience is quickly becoming a business necessity.

That someone could suffer “probable, imminent, and irreparable injury” by breaking a rule is, yes, a reason the rule exists. Anyway, this was the predictable and inevitable result, and we all should have been saved the trouble of going through the motions to get here.

Good punters are athletes, and yes, a “regular person” can’t do this. But this would be a typical 44-yard punt in a game, and thousands of more impressive “bombs” are launched on practice fields, from high school to the NFL, every day.

Insane: Florida State Punter Daniel Hughes has gone viral for having one of the strongest legs you will ever see.
The regular person doesn't realize how impressive this is.

.@CBSSports producers told fellow announcers Ken Squier and Neil Bonnett to be silent and let Ned Jarrett “root” his son to the flag. It also turned out to be great analysis of what a pit crew chief is likely thinking on the final lap in a close race. RIP. #NASCAR
Ned Jarrett in the booth. Dale Jarrett taking the checkered flag.
The 1993 Daytona 500 was a special day for the Jarrett family.

ICYMI 💡 #AI is now making #procurement decisions, not just recommending them. As autonomous systems place orders, switch suppliers and trigger payments, the real challenge for companies and #supplychains becomes governance, accountability and authority.

Growing up in the early 80s, you could still feel the tremors of how big a deal the bicentennial was. You’d still see t-shirts, hats etc. There was even a Bicentennial Park in my hometown.
250 discourse seems way more quiet. But tbf, we don’t have a word for 250 of something.

The @ISM® PMI® Reports Roundup from Inside Supply Management®: Services activity is growing amid strong orders and surging inventories, but the #ISMPMI data could portend an emerging question: Is #AI helping companies grow without adding workers? hubs.li/Q04j-Vj_0 #economy

The Services #ISMPMI data for May showed companies are stocking up inventories because they expect demand to continue, but they’re not increasing #employment at the same pace. The @ISM® PMI® Reports Roundup from Inside Supply Management® has more. hubs.li/Q04j-Vj_0 #economy

For the second year in a row, ASU has a presence on the deluxe-edition cover of EA CFB. Kenny Dillingham loves the national brand that helps the Sun Devils build:

The Services #ISMPMI Inventories Index soared 9.4 points in May to 62.5%, tying May 2010 for its highest reading ever. However, the Inventory Sentiment Index (55.2%) barely budged, suggesting companies are confident in future business activity. bit.ly/4ejdbIG #economy
