Australian Rules football grand final between the Sydney Swans and the Brisbane Lions today. I'll probably watch at least a little, if only for an excuse to eat pizza
"Life is short. It's o' so sweet. There are a lot of people that we meet, as we walk through these shallow( pretty sure he meant hallowed) halls. But, the things that mean the most, are the friendships that you meet and take along with you."
HOF Induction speech.
Totally out of left field, but I think Patrick Mahomes is a fine young man and has the talent and more importantly the strong mindset that it takes to someday be the GOAT. I don't see how he puts up with his insufferable teammates tho especially Pfizer cuck boy Kelce.
Texas A&M just fired Jimbo Fisher...In his first coaching job as offensive coordinator for Samford he made 20k for the year back in 1991-1992...He will be paid 26K a day for the next 8 years not to coach Texas A&M...
Big 10 suspends Jim Harbaugh for final 3 games of regular season (although he will be allowed to coach team at practices during the week, but not games).
If only there was technology available to allow him to communicate his coaching decisions to the sidelines during the game.

Couldn't stand Sanders when he broke in back in the late 80's. It was the new age, showboating, etc. He wasn't the only one of course. Back in the day in athletic endeavors we were brought up with a certain level of sportsmanship which didn't allow for taunting or gloating etc. Now I don't feel any different probably. Celebrating is ok and sports are pretty emotional on all sides, but I do feel differently about Sanders. He has proven over his career to be the real thing. I admire him for the "it" he's been blessed with and has used effectively. Very happy for his success. He gets to coach a major college program with his own two sons on the team. What a dream. That area of the country is football crazy like many other areas. Looking forward to following.
I wasn't following him back then, but I am pretty impressed with the coaching/mentoring of his players...beyond the 3-0 start.
The talk of him kicking players out...he defended that on 60 minutes. While admitting many were not good enough to be on his team, he also offered something like, if I can scare you out with just my words, you don't belong here...and not everyone who heard that message was scared and left...some fought to stay.
The Colorado State coaches a dirty brand of football. So many illegal plays that seemed to try to injure...Dirt, just plain dirty.
Yes, for a coach grumbling about manners...he apparently is lousy at instilling discipline in his own team.
While I was impressed with CSUs defense...those cheap shots especially by Blackburn on Hunter, which put him out of the game for a few weeks and probably out of Heisman contention, were inexcusable.
But what a comeback and game....I think it clocked in at just over 4 hours.

Didnât their coach throw shade on Deion Sanders? Howâd that work out?
0-2. L
He criticized Sanders for not taking his hat and sunglasses of during interviews.
"I sat down with ESPN today. And I don't care if they hear it in Boulder. I told them, 'I took my hat off, and I took my glasses off.' And I said, 'When I talk to grown-ups, I take my hat and my glasses off.' That's what my mother taught me," Norvell said. "They're not going to like us, no matter what we say or do. It doesn't matter. So, let's go up there and play."
He brought players that wanted to play for him. He inherited a group that had little to no talent and he had no reason to keep the low performers. I see no reason to condemn him for his use of the portal to build his team around the three players that remained from last years Colorado team.
Condemn is a little strong; I would say I question how this was done. For example, telling players to leave and then labeling them as quitters bothers me. Prime is about his brand and, yes, about winning. He has quickly turned the team around, as we saw yesterday against TCU. An impressive win.
Sorry, maybe chastised would be a better word. He did what he had to do and we will never see it happen like that again. I don't think their will ever be a need to do it again. X amount of those players didn't want to put in the work and left. Maybe they couldn't take orders from a man like Prime...We just don't know...I know this though, he cut out the cancer that lost eleven of twelve game last year and transplanted it with a group who all gave him 110% and my hats off to him.
That is how I see it. I think it is an apt description.
I take issue with folks trying to tear the man down⦠I certainly couldnât argue with someone whoâs had the success heâs had in sports and life. If you followed sanders since Jackson st, building playerâs abilities and individual character has been central to his messaging.
as for turning these amateurs into a business, thatâs been evident for decadesâ¦mixed feelings but agree they should be able to monetize their own image â¦but much against schools paying any athletes
