Staring down the actual Declaration of Independence before stepping into the octagon as an underdog to beat the piss out of an undefeated fighter in front of the world is an extraordinary level of legendary
Justin Gaethje was literally in the Oval Office before his fight, looking at the actual Declaration of Independence.
Then he walked out as a 6-to-1 underdog and beat the piss out of his opponent to win the first undisputed championship of his career.
I genuinely don't care what your politics are. That's one of the coolest sequences of events I've ever seen in sports.
Am I really supposed to think this isn't awesome because people decided to make it political?
The pursuit of a second belt has unfortunately blinded many modern UFC fighters. It’s understandable when legacy and greatness is at stake. But Topuria has the perfect body for featherweight. Likewise Pereira at LHW.
In putting together a list of the greatest Phillies to never make All-Star Game for @OnPattison, I realized how well Pat Burrell's career has aged.
30 or more HRs 4x, 90 or more walks every year from 2005-2008; .852 OPS across Phillies career.

There are 2 types of people:
1. People who see a trillionaire and wonder how they can innovate and emulate such success
2. People who see a trillionaire and seethe with resentment
Do everything you can to ensure you're always around the first kind of person.
Can I just elect to not have my money wasted?
I can put that $$ into a retirement plan now and fund my own elder years. Instead of watching administration after administration just piss it away
True integrity means holding your program accountable when things go wrong, not buying custom legislation or running to a local courtroom to bypass the rules.
Texas judge Ken Curry said Brendan Sorsby would suffer “irreparable harm” if he wasn’t allowed to play for Texas Tech.
Yeah, that’s exactly the point, you dummy. Good job ruining the integrity of sports.

Brendan Sorsby admitted to wagering at least $90,000 across more than 9,000 bets during his college career, including bets involving Indiana football while he was a member of the Hoosiers in 2022.
For the current outlook to be that he'll play in 2026 after serving just a two-game suspension is stunning.
A surprise: Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby has been granted the injunction he requested by a judge in District Court in Lubbock County, Texas, per @PeteThamel.
Sorsby is now expected to be eligible for the 2026 college football season and will not have to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft.
NEW: NCAA President Charlie Baker on Texas Tech QB Brendan Sorsby's ruling:
"There is no better example of why targeted intervention from Congress is necessary. When you have schools and deep-pocketed supporters willing to look the other way on the glaring integrity threat of betting on your own team - and judges whose rulings effectively strip away our ability to stop them - only Congress can equip the NCAA to apply this common sense rule to everyone fairly and consistently. The Protect College Sports Act would empower the NCAA to enforce rules including the gambling restrictions - it's needed now more than ever."
