In 1982, Robin Williams did a routine as the American Flag for the Norman Lear produced tv special "I Love Liberty" created to bridge political divides - and it's one of the greatest pieces you'll see 🇺🇸

This 2,700-year-old tablet is the oldest map of the world. It reveals just how differently the ancients understood the world — but one detail is particularly strange. It sheds light on a VERY ancient story… (thread) 🧵

Saquon Barkley wanted the young guys to play instead of going for his record. What a teammate. @saquon | #FlyEaglesFly

Imagine this. Things are going well. You’ve got some tenured seniors. You ran up the score on your conference. You’re on your way to a #1 NCAA Tournament seed. And then you watched your not-our-rival-little-brother beat your arch nemesis Duke. You laugh. Then you watch your not-our-rival-little-brother beat UVA in an OT thriller. You laugh. Hilarious right? A gassed NC State team playing its 5th game in 5 days is all that stops you from claiming a title. You laugh. You have an 84% win probability rate at the tip off. You laugh. Eat some cheese. Sip your wine and put on your gaudy golden Tar Heel belt buckle. You laugh some more. And then you watch your team get dismantled by the gassed, 5th game in 5 days, not-our-rival-little-brother. You watch them cut down the nets. Your old coach is in the stands, not laughing. Your laughing stops too.

RT if you think Open Water Championships should be held in canals so fans can engage.

Possibly… It would have to be a point to point race in my opinion… and an iconic venue would be helpful … the local/regional/national enthusiasm of sports crazy South Africans should not be underestimated so a key would be igniting that kind of desire here

I agree David and remember 30+ years ago when we called for a late February NCAA D1 Champs so the American media would highlight it … imagine now if we had decades of that deserved attention!
Ok @CSCAA —watching NCAA gymnastics live on @ABCNetwork 4 teams 2 hours to determine the @NCAA champion. Time to implement the @iswimleague format. Imagine: @calmenswim @GatorsSwimDv @packswimdive @TexasMSD to feature our great sport. And go @AuburnGym !!
