What is the point of this drill? I would hope that there will someone looking into this and changes or discipline coming to the coach.

That is how people end up on crutches.

Happy Tuesday

Scripture — Mark 4:21 (NIV)
“He said to them, ‘Do you bring in a lamp to put it under a bowl or a bed? Instead, don’t you put it on its stand?’”

Reflection
Jesus is speaking about something meant to be seen. A lamp exists to give light. To hide it is to deny its purpose. In the same way, the truth of God—once received—is not meant to stay private, muted, or tucked away where it makes no difference.

This isn’t about drawing attention to yourself. It’s about not concealing what God has made clear in you. Faith that never leaves the interior—never shapes words, actions, or decisions—starts to dim. But when truth is lived openly, even in small and steady ways, it naturally gives light to others.

There’s also a quiet question here: What are you doing with what you’ve been given? Insight, conviction, growth—these are not meant to sit idle. They are meant to be placed where they can actually illuminate something—your work, your relationships, your choices.

Sometimes people hide the light out of fear, hesitation, or uncertainty. But Jesus doesn’t frame it as optional. A lamp belongs on a stand. What God has placed in you has a purpose beyond you.

Prayer
Lord, thank You for the light You’ve placed in my life. Help me not to hide it out of fear or hesitation. Give me courage to live out what You’ve shown me—with clarity, humility, and consistency. Let my life reflect Your truth in a way that quietly but clearly brings light to others. Amen.

To remind players how XFL games used to start?

 

[SagginVawls]

Do you think in Heaven the Vols always win?

My old man was the biggest Vol fan I knew. Sole reason I am a fan. He passed away right before the football season in 2021. We always joke around that he petitioned for the Vols before God due to how all the sports seemed to do better right after his passing.

'Kids this is what you could be doing if you dont play hard.'

 

[Jackcrevol]

Wait, TV left this job to be in same division as the Dodgers?

Price said Ament likely to go pro but never say never. Breaking news, I know.

Make the coaches do it and have a side by side ready to get them to the hospital. Problem solved.

There's probably never been a player who would benifit more. Changing his body is the obvious, but I dont think he has the mentality for the NBA yet. The growth over the year in this area is huge and would love to see what he could do with a full off-season being more mentally prepared.

The point is practicing open field tackling, and I dont mind live tackling in practice, but good grief 3 vs 1 with 2 guys going for the knees is pure stupidity. At least have there be an even number of offensive players to block so the dude doesnt get killed

Agreed, Ament is not physical enough currently for the nba

Would've been better off if Vitello would've taken the Marlins job, lot less pressure...

Have there been more LV transfer announcements or is Coach Kim losing 4 transfer eligible players with the highest scoring player averaging 4.7 ppg?
