My son was complaining about something last week and I hit him with, “train, say your prayers, eat your vitamins, be true to yourself and your country, and be a real American. Brother!” Not sure if it worked but he also didn’t argue. RIP Hulkster.

It’s 10pm on a Monday in July and I can’t go to bed because a team of DIII guys are taking down Syracuse alums. I love @thetournament.
I want the Elam Ending everywhere. NBA, college, high school, YMCA bitty ball…everywhere. #TBT @thetournament

When you wake up to learn that your charity application was accepted and you’re running the Tokyo Marathon in 2026! And then realize you’ll be writing your dissertation and training for a marathon at the same time. Let’s roll. givesendgo.com/GHUUA

I’ve been going to @IMS since I was 7 years old and this was one of the coolest moments I’ve seen. Indescribable energy going through the stands, it’s what makes spectator sports great! Happy Independence Day! 🇺🇸
