Osi Umenyiora says he discovered Tom Brady's pre snap cadence and knew when he was going to snap the ball ahead of Super Bowl XLII, and says it allowed the Giants defensive line to dominate the game with 5 sacks and 20 hurries
“But as I was watching the tape, because you have two weeks leading up to the game, I noticed that Tom Brady would come up to the line of scrimmage. And this is real information I’m giving you here, worth millions of dollars. I’m giving it to you right now. And there’s people recording this to pass it on to their players.”
“But what I noticed was he would come up to the line of scrimmage and he would say ‘hut,’ which is telling the center to snap him the ball. So what he was doing was he would come up to the line of scrimmage, and before he said that, he was pointing at somebody, maybe somebody on the opposing side. And if he didn’t point at that person, that means they weren’t going to snap the ball. But if he did point at that person, the ball was coming as soon as he said ‘hut.’”
“So after I watched this, I studied this for literally a week. I went back, I watched all the games, and he was doing the exact same thing, but nobody had figured it out. So I saw that, and I went and gathered the whole defense, and I was like, ‘Listen, this is what this man is doing.’ If you know when the ball is being snapped as a defensive line, you are at a tremendous advantage over the offensive lineman because they’re relying on you not knowing.”
“Because if you don’t know, that means you’re going to be late. But if you do know, you’re going to beat them almost every time. And so as soon as I figured this out, I gathered the whole defensive line. I was like, ‘Listen, this is what Tom Brady’s doing.’”
“Now we all started to watch this together, and we saw this was 100%. It wasn’t even like 80. This was 100%. So now we knew going into that game that, as a defensive line, we were going to be able to overwhelm them offensively simply because of that one thing that I had pointed out.”
“And we went into the game and we sacked him like five times, hit him like 20 times. They couldn’t understand how we were getting off the ball and getting to him that fast. And it was simply because, for two weeks prior, I just sat there and I had watched what this one person was doing, and that gave us the mental advantage going into the game. We knew we were going to win that game even though nobody else did, because we knew something that they didn’t know, and nobody else knew that we knew.”

We are saddened by the passing of Bob Boone, part of one of baseball’s most historic families.
Along with his father Ray, and his sons Bret and Aaron, the Boones became the first family to field three generations of Major League players, all of them All-Stars.
Bob, a catcher who came up in 1972, played 19 Major League seasons with the Phillies, Angels, and Royals. When he retired after the 1990 season, he had caught 2,225 games, the most in MLB history at that time.
A four-time All-Star, Boone was an elite defender, winning 7 Gold Gloves. He won his last in 1989 at age 41 and remains the oldest position player to win a Gold Glove.
Boone’s leadership behind the plate helped his teams reach the Postseason seven times from 1976-86. In the 1980 World Series, he batted .412 with 4 RBIs to help the Phillies win their first championship in franchise history.
Boone later managed six seasons with the Royals and Reds before spending more than a decade as a front office executive with the Washington Nationals, a run that included their first World Series title in 2019.
He was 78.

My husband invited his mistress to our tenth wedding anniversary dinner, seated her three chairs away from me, and watched me thank her for coming. But the affair wasn’t what destroyed me. It was discovering that almost everyone at that table had helped him hide it.
There were twelve guests, including my parents, my younger sister, my husband’s brother, and friends we’d known for years. He’d reserved a private dining room at a restaurant where dinner cost more than our monthly mortgage. Everyone was laughing, ordering expensive wine, and telling stories about our marriage. The woman sat beside my sister, wearing a delicate gold bracelet identical to one I’d found in my husband’s car six months earlier. He’d claimed it was a gift for his brother’s girlfriend. I might have dismissed the coincidence if I hadn’t watched my sister lean over and whisper, “You okay? I know tonight’s awkward.” The woman nodded and glanced at my husband. Something cold settled in my stomach. When my husband stepped outside to take a call, I followed him into the hallway. “How long?” I asked. His expression changed immediately. “Please don’t do this here.” That was all the confirmation I needed. “How long?” I repeated. “Almost two years,” he admitted. I stared at him. “And they know?” He didn’t answer. When I walked back into the room, nobody asked why I’d been crying. My mother simply reached across the table, squeezed my hand, and whispered, “Sweetheart, just get through dinner.” I realized then that she wasn’t comforting me. She was asking me to cooperate.
