@coachmcnab20 Go Cobras

Cheers from Mexico and Congratulations to Ben Dobson ( Cobras Alumni) and all the other Dinos drafted yesterday. Broke out the vintage 80’s Dinosaurs Football t-shirt. #dinos_football

Fernando Mendoza was a 2 star coming out of high school. He had to beg his way into college football. He won the national championship. He won the Heisman trophy. He is the first pick in the NFL draft. The coaches that knew him the best growing up were probably telling college coaches he was special but the college coaches were reliant on the rankings to formulate their opinions. Makeup, work ethic, toughness, maturity and aptitude are monumentally more important than showcase skills. Special players have special traits from a young age that don't show up in player rankings. Players If you're genuinely outworking the competition and sacrificing like a maniac. Believe in yourself and be relentless like Fernando Mendoza.

LFG!!!! Welcome To The Darkside Brother 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️ @fernandomendoza

@AliciaAmarilyn Nice gun.

Coyote tried to get a lamb.. I had a pretty poor reaction time, though i still managed to get a shot on it through brush. I'll check the mountain for its corpse later My animals watching the commotion in the second pic😂🤣

I’m a high school teacher. We have policies. Late work gets points deducted. Turn it in on time or take the hit. That’s how students learn responsibility. Senior year. Final paper worth thirty percent of the grade. Due Friday. Monday came. Still no paper from this one kid. Smart kid. Never missed assignments before. Called him to my desk after class. “Where’s your paper?” He looked down. “I don’t have it” Waited. He didn’t elaborate. “You know this tanks your grade right? Might not graduate” He nodded. Still wouldn’t look at me. “Do you not care?” His voice cracked. “My dad died Thursday night. Heart attack. Paper was done. On my laptop. But I’ve been at the hospital. At the funeral home. I forgot. I just forgot.” My chest tightened. “I’m so sorry. Why didn’t you tell me?” “Because it sounds like an excuse. Everyone has excuses.” He finally looked up. Eyes red. “Just fail me. I deserve it.” Closed my gradebook. “Email me the paper tonight. Full credit. And take this week off. Come back when you’re ready.” He shook his head. “The policy—” “I’m the teacher. I make exceptions when life happens. Your dad died. That’s not an excuse. That’s a tragedy. Go home.” He graduated. Top ten percent. Spoke at graduation. Mentioned a teacher who showed him that rules and compassion can coexist. I was in the audience. Crying. Sometimes grace matters more than policy. —Mr. Hayes, English teacher

Anonymous: I listed my son's old mountain bike on Facebook Marketplace for $50. A guy showed up an hour later in a rusted-out sedan. His work boots were held together with duct tape, and his hands were stained black with grease. He pulled a wad of cash from his pocket and started counting. It was two crumpled twenties and ten dollars in quarters. "It's my boy's tenth birthday," he said, wiping sweat off his forehead. "I've been picking up scrap metal all week after my shifts to get this. He's never had a bike with gears before." I looked at the quarters sitting in his calloused palm. I thought about my own son, playing a $500 video game console inside the air-conditioned house. I pushed his hand back toward his chest. "Actually," I said, "I realized the brakes need a little adjusting. So it's free." Before he could argue, I went into the garage and grabbed my son's brand-new spare helmet and a heavy-duty bike lock. "Take these, too. A ten-year-old needs a helmet." He didn't say a word. He just grabbed my hand and squeezed it, his eyes welling up. Sometimes, the best profit you can make on a sale is protecting a father's dignity.

sid was getting chirped by this rangers fan, all kinds of harmless stuff like "hey crosby, you were voted 3rd toughest canadian, behind celine dion and a close second to avril lavigne". he was so tickled by them he gave the fan an autographed stick with a little message

As a man, the day you bury your dad, that's when you'll realize you lost the only man who wants to see you win genuinely. Take care of him if he's alive.

@LWillson_82 @d0wnsideofme Luke-your football analysis is awesome. I enjoy you and Jay after all football games wrapping it up on TSN. Keep it up! CFL and NFL commentary bang on.

@d0wnsideofme Send me the analytics 📊 on that

Dear Luke: You are absolute dogshit on every TSN broadcast. Your football knowledge is insignificant, and your analytical knowledge even less so. You’re over your head here. Please let someone capable take your place. Thank You, Canadian Football Fans.

@BoogerBottom Nice rig! Freezer filler… We are all done up with any deer season in Alberta…sending you ‘good luck’ late season vibes

I love to bowhunt…. However from time to time I love to bust out some horsepower & smell some hoppes & gunpowder. Especially late in the season. Who feels the same? #bonecollector

Powerful: Patriots HC Mike Vrabel waited outside the locker room to give every one of his players a handshake after tonight’s win over the Chargers. Vrabel makes sure thanks all of his players for their effort. One of the best coaches in the NFL 👏

@ABDanielleSmith @MarkJCarney You should be PM!

Today I had a positive meeting with Prime Minister @MarkJCarney during which we discussed the recent events in Venezuela, and how they underscore the necessity to greatly expedite the approval of a one million barrel per day oil pipeline to Canada’s pacific coast as well as an expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline. As outlined in my letter to the Prime Minister yesterday, Alberta’s intention is to submit our application for an oil pipeline to the northwest BC coast to the major projects office by June at the latest, and I have asked for it to be approved no later than this Fall. I have also expressed to him that any delay risks ceding market share, losing investment, and undermining Canada’s competitive position in a rapidly changing global energy landscape. The federal government needs to act with urgency to seize this opportunity, safeguard long-term economic security, and secure our energy future. See the full letter I sent him earlier this week below ⬇️

Happy New Year to all. May we remember all the awesomeness of this year and throw away all of the bad. 2026 will be unbelievably great!

This has been my favorite for as long as I can remember, and still I just learned something new. When Linus recites Luke: 8-14, it’s the one time he isn’t holding his security blanket. Because in that moment, he doesn’t need it.

@JimShockey_ Well done Jim. Makes me smile.

Wedding Tour 2025!! Third stop, SAN DIEGO! Serena and I figured it would be easier for us to go to all our friends and family for a “Reception,” rather than everyone coming to us!

2025 Heisman Winner Fernando Mendoza has mastered the art of a speech

Fernando Mendoza’s Mom has multiple sclerosis and her body is slowly deteriorating. Knowing that, watch the first 10-seconds of this. 🥺

@BoogerBottom Impressive! Nicely done. Love it.

Waylon’s first archery tournament. Took home top prize! Congratulations son!
