WIN AND IN 😤
The Final Qualifying Round schedule for the 2027 Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup is here: ussoc.cr/94c0ff
Facts!
dudes who are athletes under 40 won't understand this and that's fine, one day you will...
i just went outside and threw a football around with my son. i'm 48. he's 13. we play all the time... but tonight, i don't know how it happened or what i could do to bottle it... but my arm was pure lightning... no pain. no creaks. no altered motion to ease my shoulder. none of it... just pure rocket fuel tonight...
felt like i was twenty five again... i used to have a cannon. really. i wasn't a QB, but I could throw deep and hard... slants.... deep posts... i could sling it.... then somewhere in my early 40s i couldn't crank it up anymore... i could throw, but with an odd motion... no mustard on the ball... just enough to get it 20-30 yards to play catch... and it's been that way for a while... easy lobs... no heat on the throws. nothing too deep...
but tonight? holy hell. my motion was clean. effortless. i was ripping the ball. my son was complaining. "it's too hard..." sorry, kid. my arm's alive and i'm using it...
i was sending him on 40 yard posts and laying it in... having him run deep slants and throwing dots to the sideline... damn, man. it felt great.
i had to share because all my athletes nearing 50 know exactly what i mean...
every now and then you get a taste your prime again and it's glorious.

Dream On, Football.
I still dream of playing football.
That might surprise you, coming from someone who plays it for a living.
But it’s true.
I still dream of playing with my friends.
Playing until sunset. Until dinner.
Playing just because it was a game, long before it could become a career.
I have followed this dream for as long as I can remember.
Once again it has led me to one of the biggest changes in my life.
Now, I find myself surrounded by innovators who dream of the same things I do.
Of bringing foot as close as possible to ball.
Of bringing the people as close as possible to the game.
Of bringing the world as close as possible to play.
I guess that’s the thing about dreams that refuse to change.
They’re usually the ones that change everything.
Dream On.

Every High School and College should have a mandatory class where they show Dave Ramsey clips on a loop.
29 year old on Dave Ramsey show. Married 3 months. Household income: $230k.
Dave: “How much is the mortgage?”
Her: “$210k.”
Dave: “So you have $600,000 in what?”
Her: “$335k in student loans. $136k in credit cards. $44k in personal loans. $35k in car loans.”
Dave: silence
Dave: “What in the world.”
Her: “Yeah…”
Dave: “Is this both of you, or did one of you completely lose your mind?”
Her: “I have most of the student loans. He has most of the credit cards.”
Dave: “He’s how old?”
Her: “32.”
Dave: “So why does a 32-year-old run up $100k in credit card debt?”
Her: “Poor decisions. Thought he’d pay it down as he went.”
Dave: “You both have advanced degrees?”
Her: “MBA and a policy degree. We both work in government now.”
Dave: “Is there recognition on both your parts how absurd this is?”
Her: “Yes. We’re scared. We want to fix it.”
Two master’s degrees. $230k household income. Almost $1M in debt.
The degrees didn’t save them. The income didn’t save them. Only the behavior change will.

The #FIFAWorldCup is massive in the USA because it is the authentic version of soccer.
MLS is not massive in the USA because it is an inauthentic version of the global game (franchises & not clubs, no promotion/relegation etc).

A couple of drinks in Cleveland watching that World Cup ended in chaos …
What a great city, great bar scene, great sunsets and totally underrated as a USA 🇺🇸 city ….
See you all in September

Love it.
Landon gives a passionate stance on how Tim Ream can protect Pulisic if he plays against Australia.
"If I'm Tim Ream, probably just before kickoff, I go up to the referee and I say, 'Here's what's gonna happen. The first time Christian touches the ball, he's gonna get smashed, and I better see a yellow card. And if I don't, when we retaliate, I better not see a yellow card. So, if you wanna play that game all day, we're gonna beat the shit out of them, but I better not see a yellow card unless you give whoever smashes Christian a yellow card right away.'"
