If Texas A&M had never fired Kevin Sumlin and they continued giving him $2 million raises every 4 years and he kept his 66.2% win percentage, the Aggies today would have saved $102 million and had two more wins 👀

People buy coke and chips like there’s no tomorrow, but then want to complain about gas and hamburger prices 🤔
A society dependent on cheap commodities to sustain itself, will eventually run out of people who are willing to produce cheap commodities.
High beef and diesel prices are karma coming home to roost.
Screwing farmers and energy producers for decades has a cost.

Shiyazh Pete played six snaps in a preseason game and it turned into one of the biggest moments of the NFL offseason.
He's 6-foot-9, 309 pounds, and he was born on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Ronan, Montana. His father is Navajo and Salish. His mother is full-blooded Navajo from Sweetwater, Arizona. He went to high school in Shiprock, New Mexico.
He walked on at New Mexico State, made first-team All-Conference USA in 2023, transferred to Kentucky for his final season, and went undrafted in April.
Dallas signed him anyway, making him the first Navajo player ever to sign an NFL contract.
Then the Cowboys went to Arizona for a preseason game.
Thousands of members of the Navajo Nation made the trip to State Farm Stadium to watch him. The stands filled with the rainbow seal of the Navajo Nation flag. Jerry Jones stood with Navajo Nation president Buu Nygren before the coin toss.
Pete didn't get in until the fourth quarter. Six offensive snaps.
The stadium erupted when he stepped on the field. Dallas was the road team.
When the game ended, he got a standing ovation from an entire section.
Head coach Brian Schottenheimer had never seen anything like it. He said the ovation for a guy who played six snaps was a first in his 25 year career.
So he handed the locker room to Pete and let him break the team down.
What Pete said ran 59 words.
"I am very fortunate to be amongst you and to play on the same field, the same star on our chest. I'm proud of us, proud of how far we've come. This game, fate, brought us here as strangers, but this game, this star, this team will make us brothers."
The video passed 10 million views. The Athletic wrote a full feature about it, headlined around the idea that 59 words captured the entire power of sports.
Asked about the fans who drove hours to watch him play four minutes of football, Pete kept it simple.
"I saw hope and courage."
"It was really cool to see him have that moment, but also our players to join in and helping to celebrate him," Schottenheimer said. "I hadn't seen that before. I'm really proud for him and for what he's done for us."
Here's the honest ending.
On August 30, Dallas waived him in final roster cuts. He's 23 years old and currently looking for a team.
A Cowboys front office source put it plainly to WFAA. He was outstanding as a man.
His agent expects him to get another shot somewhere this season.
Whatever happens next, a whole lot of kids on the Navajo Nation watched somebody who grew up where they did stand in an NFL locker room and get handed the floor.

Giannis says he showed up EARLY to work out with Kobe, and the Black Mamba made him pay for it
“Working out with Kobe, I showed up before him. I love that I did it, but it was a mistake”
“Kobe came and said, ‘What are we gonna do?’ I said, ‘Whatever you tell me to do.’ He said, ‘Go right, make 25.’ I usually make four or five. I said, ‘Yeah… make 25.’ I made 25. ‘Okay, go left, 25.’ Then, ‘Go right, two dribbles’”
“We worked out for two hours, intense, and I’m thinking, I shouldn’t have shot before this, I’m tired, I wanted to show him my best version”
“But here’s what players won’t do today: they won’t be vulnerable. They won’t show weakness, or show appreciation to somebody better. If you always think you’re the best, you can never learn”
“I had my notebook, I asked a lot of questions, he answered every single one, and never made me feel like we were running out of time. It was one of the best experience in my career”

This type of hoops drives me batshit crazy…
It goes against everything taught. Crash the glass hard, turn, find your man, put a body on them & box out
Brunson knows exactly what he’s doing. 0 intention of boxing out. EVERY intention of drawing the foul.
