Lining up your tight end at guard and throwing to him for a 29 yard gain is some sicko shit

Howard Schultz had 60 days to raise $3.8 million and buy Starbucks. Halfway there, one of his own investors went behind his back with an all-cash offer for the whole company.
In the video below, Howard tells the story himself.
It was 1987. Howard had raised a third of the money. The founder called him in: “I’ve got an all-cash offer. Howard, I just have to take it.”
From who? “One of your investors.”
Howard had no way to fight one of the most powerful men in Seattle. So a friend took him to see his boss, Bill Gates Sr.
Gates asked two questions. Is everything you told me true? Have you left anything out?
Then: “We’re going to take a walk.”
They walked straight into the investor’s office. Gates stood over his desk and told him to stand down, and that Howard and Starbucks would never hear from him again.
Howard bought Starbucks for $3.8 million. Gates Sr. never told a soul.
Decades later, Howard told the story on stage. Bill Gates found him afterward and asked, “Who’s the guy?” He never knew what his father had done.
Was that investor just doing business, or was it a betrayal?

Professional poker player Phil Ivey won $9.6 million at the Borgata. The casino paid him, then sued to get it back. At London’s Crockfords, he won another £7.7 million. They refused to pay.
In the video below, Ivey says his job is to play the game, find a weakness in the casino and use it to win. He calls the casino his opponent and points out that it spends millions of dollars protecting its games.
He wanted a specific brand of cards, a Cantonese-speaking dealer and the same decks reused. The casinos agreed. His playing partner, Cheung Yin Sun, asked the dealer to rotate certain cards, presenting it as a matter of luck.
The cards had tiny differences along their backs. Once high-value cards faced one way and the others faced the opposite way, those differences helped identify what was coming next.
Ivey never marked the cards. The dealer handled them. But the casino didn’t understand what those requests were doing to the odds.
He called it an advantage. The casinos called it cheating. In 2017, the UK Supreme Court ruled against him: persuading the dealer to arrange the cards crossed the line.
The casino had approved his requests while expecting to win. Ivey knew something about its own cards that it didn’t.
Was he cheating, or should a casino know its own game before accepting someone’s money?
I rebuke that in the name of Jesus @GeorgeFoster72
I hope @GeorgeFoster72 was at the game to watch this game live but more importantly I hope @GFosterPhoto was there taking pics, cause I know he will bless his dawg with a few to put at house before he destroys the drive !!

Bang bang play. Gotta let up sooner and Gotta slide sooner. Just for the optics. What have I told y’all about slow motion influencing how you see a play? The antics hurt the defender, but that was just some football. Call me desensitized 🤷🏾♂️
