Tom Landry was a football genius. He incorporated the shotgun formation into every down usage (the shotgun was probably created by a CFL coach named Frank Ivy but modernized and first used by 49’ers coach Red Hickey in the early 1960s). His defensive innovation, the 4-3 defense is still used by pretty much every team in America. More importantly, his usage of 4 DL and 7 DBs led to what is often referred to as simulated pressure today. The attached video illustrates that concept.

With Spears Jr. ... he is making a fair # in year one from what I hear. This wasn't a bargain recruitment for Texas. That was Austin Goosby who took half of what BYU was offering to be at Texas. But the KD/Nike deal has helped with basketball HS recruiting from an NIL standpoint

Does this somehow go back to Arch not taking as much as he could for NIL?

Registered, Bobby, and thanks! P

Another connection worth mentioning here is the status of Odysseus as the second greatest hero in Greek mythology after Achilles. Socrates argued in several Platonic dialogues that Odysseus was superior to Achilles and should be recognized as such by the Greeks. He based this argument on the contention that Odysseus was more "intelligent, skilled and worked harder" than Achilles. Sounds like the Jordan/Kobe stuff.

I should add that Odysseus means "enemy" in Greek, which was also a role that Kobe embraced.

We went to the Scheels at the Colony last night. It is truly a unique, insanely huge sports store.

I have more stuff for you @Jordan91. When my daughters were growing up during the 2000s, I'd wake them up at 6:00 AM to read classics in the mornings during the summer (Plato, Aristotle, Dante, Homer, Virgil, Herodotus, etc.), and then we'd watch the Lakers in the Finals at night. We were reading The Odyssey during June 2009. The day we read book 22, in which Odysseus kills the antagonist Antinous (which means "anti-mind" in Greek) by shooting him in the throat with an arrow, and follows it up by telling his 20 year old son Telemachus (which means power crossing over or moving to) not to celebrate because the fight isn't yet over yet, Kobe made his famous statement after taking a 2-0 lead over the Magic in the Finals ("What's there to be happy about? Job's not finished. Job finished? I don't think so."). I let them stay up late that night to watch the postgame stuff. My youngest daughter immediately made the connection between Odysseus and Kobe. Yesterday, she called me and said we need to go see the film The Odyssey next week when it's released and wear our Kobe jerseys. That's the power of admiring greatness when you grow up.

I live a couple stop lights from the new cedar park one…. For a “sports” store that building is insane and rumor is they’ll have a freaking Ferris wheel inside the damn place. Lol it looks bigger than the HeB Center which it’s right next to. gonna be cool to see that place when it opens that’s for sure.

Conor is done. What a disappointment.

Patience…to the the kids and their families, this is a life altering decision.

This guy knows his stuff I think. Have watched him on SEC network.

Well that's probably because he's a Georgia guy lol.

He is a Georgia fan, but he is also pretty honest about his analysis of other teams and players.

I think Brooks has some good takes and good analysis. His arguments are usually logical and fact based and not emotional or biased, unlike a lot of other clickbait pundits. Him saying we have the most talented and deep team all around is an opinion, but it is also one I agree with.

Dude always has an underlying Georgia agenda.

I don’t agree with BOH about the art itself. I benefited for years from it but cut the crap regarding the ufc. It’s wwe with skill. Money is the only goal. Leader slapped his wife penalty free and runs the company like he owns the fighters. Very little local dojo spirit that was just described. Conor? Hilarious. Found liable of sexual assault in a civil suit. Accused of additional sexual assault, assault, reckless driving, etc. Tonight was karma. Plain and simple. It was karma for him and for the fans that worship and pay him which only reinforces how he acts. Hopefully, it’s the last we hear of him. We need more Max and far less Conor.

I always say that the previous national championship winner should be #1.

Porque SpaceX está en Boca Chica.

Film Guy put Texas as number 1 in his top 25. Here we go with the rat poison

Lord almighty! What 17-18 year old is saying no to that? Lol. Dream come true for the young buck and a good paycheck to go with it. Best of luck to him.

Martial arts is about self defense, discipline and harnessing your talent to be the best you can be and help others. If you ever go to a jiu jitsu, wrestling , boxing camp you will absolutely be humbled and improve as a human being. These aren't thugs, in fact thugs get humbled quickly in the fight game.

Not only nice seeing the Lakers destroy the Mavs summer league team, but Arthur Kaluma making Morez look like a chump.

You wrote that like the board asked you to testify before the Parenting Commission. Nobody’s kids are becoming delinquents because someone watched a prelim.
