A father and son went hunting together for the first time. The father said: “Stay here and be very QUIET. I’ll be across the field.” A few hours later the father heard a blood curdling scream and ran back to his son. “What’s wrong?’ the father asked, ”I told you to be quiet.’ The boy, bless his heart, answered; “‘Look, I was quiet when the snake slithered across my feet, I was quiet when the bear breathed down my neck, I didn’t move a muscle when the skunk climbed over my shoulder, I closed my eyes and held my breath when the wasp stung me, I didn’t cough when I swallowed the gnat, I didn’t cuss or scratch when the poison oak started itching but when the two squirrels crawled up my pant legs and said, “Should we eat them here or take them with us?” “Well, I guess I just panicked”

If you are 60, understand this. Life is no longer about proving anything to the world, it is about making peace with yourself. The years of chasing, building, and correcting have already shaped you into who you are. Now is the time to slow down internally, even if life is still moving around you. At this stage, you must begin to release. Release the regrets that no longer serve you, release the pressure to impress people who never truly mattered, release the silent competition with people younger than you. There is nothing left to prove, only things left to understand. This is the age where wisdom should replace noise. You begin to see life for what it truly is, not what you once thought it should be. Your greatest asset now is not your strength, but your clarity. And your greatest wealth is not how much more you can earn, but how well you can live with what you already have. At 60, protect your peace like it is your last currency. Because time is no longer something you spend carelessly, it is something you begin to respect deeply.

@20th_Centurygal Guy Gelso from the band Zebra. Saw them open for Loverboy, and he was phenomenal.

Who’s a drummer you think never gets enough credit?

The difference between a conservative and a liberal explained in simple terms.

@AnneErickson Bellamy Brothers. I've seen shows ranging from Rod to Reba to New Edition. BB was a blast. It was in a casino and you could tell they were having fun. Best show!

Who is the absolute best band or musician you've ever seen live? 🫶🏻

@OleTimeHardball Never. Not even up for debate.

You hold the deciding vote in the Hall of Fame case of Barry Bonds. Does he get in?

@NYCMayor According to the man you replaced, he left you 8 billion. Is he a liar?

Today, I’m releasing the City’s preliminary budget. After years of fiscal mismanagement, we’re staring at a $5.4 billion budget gap — and two paths. One: Albany can raise taxes on the ultra-wealthy and the most profitable corporations and address the fiscal imbalance between our city and state. The other, a last resort: balance the budget on the backs of working people using the only tools at the City's disposal.   The first path matches a structural crisis with a sustainable and fair solution. I know where I stand. New Yorkers voted for bold change and competent leadership. We will deliver both, and we look forward to partnering with Albany to protect working New Yorkers.

Prove me wrong!

@RealTalkWithMJ1 Block? Crap I never saw him block this year!

If you watched AJ Brown block you could tell he wanted out

@RichJohnsonNFL Funny 🤣 We sure don't want Daboll as our OC. BAMA people were not upset when he was gone, kinda like Giants fans!

Former #Giants HC Brian Daboll would join the #Eagles staff under the condition that he can “replace Hurts with Tua again.” Wow.

I’m worn out hearing people moan, “Our grandparents could buy a house on one paycheck, but now we can’t even afford rent on two!” Yeah, maybe because Grandma wasn’t dropping half her income on $14 iced lattes and avocado toast shaped like art projects. Back then, if they wanted coffee, they boiled it at home in a dented pot. It tasted like burnt rubber and regret — but it woke you up and cleaned your pipes. And Grandma wasn’t “out to brunch.” You think she had time for mimosas and hashtags? She was making something called whatever’s left in the fridge and feeding six people with it. Don’t even start with Uber Eats. You think Grandpa was out here paying $38 to have a burger delivered three blocks away? Please. He grilled mystery meat on a rusted barbecue, and everyone called it dinner. Now people cry about being broke while sitting in a house full of gadgets. Two SUVs in the driveway, six streaming services, three air fryers, and matching tattoos that cost more than their light bill. You think Grandpa had a tattoo? He did. It said “Korea, 1951,” and it came with trauma, not Instagram likes. And the kids—Lord help us. “We can’t make ends meet, but Brayden needs the new iPhone!” No, he doesn’t. You’re handing an $1100 device to a child who still eats crayons and forgets to flush. When we were kids, there was one phone. It hung on the wall like a family relic. The cord stretched just far enough for you to whisper secrets before someone yelled, “Get off, I need to make a call!” And guess what? We lived. The TV? One. In the living room. With three channels and a dial that clicked like a safe. And if Dad wanted to watch bowling, you were a fan of bowling, end of story. Now there’s a flat screen in every room, the baby’s got an iPad, the dog’s got a camera, and everyone’s wondering why they can’t afford rent. Because you’re living like rock stars on retail salaries, that’s why. Grandpa wasn’t leasing Teslas or buying $12 smoothies called “Green Zen Awakening.” He drove a truck that coughed smoke, rattled like a storm, and smelled like oil and hard work. They lived within their means. Whatever Grandpa brought home on Friday — that’s what they had. They weren’t keeping up with the Joneses; they were keeping the lights on. So yeah, Grandpa bought a house on one salary. But he also didn’t have a gym membership, three delivery apps, and emotional support crystals on his nightstand. His only support system was Grandma, who told him to quit whining and mow the yard. Nowadays, everyone’s broke, anxious, and “manifesting abundance” while ordering tacos on DoorDash for the fourth time this week. It’s not the economy — it’s the lifestyle. Wake up, turn off your subscriptions, make your own coffee, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll smell the truth. Credit to original author, unknown

The last time I had faith in the news it was Huey Lewis.

@Beardaknowledge No here he is thinking to himself, this cat is full of crap. BAMA fans were not upset when Daboll left...kinda like Giants fans.

I never saw Jalen Hurts look at Kevin Patullo like this

@DiBonaNFL We don't want him. BAMA had him and we were not sad when he left. He is not what is needed.

In my opinion, Brian Daboll is the ideal target for the Eagles at offensive coordinator. Daboll has experience working with Nick Sirianni, Jalen Hurts and Saquon Barkley. Three of the most important pillars in the Eagles organization right now. He has shown the ability to utilize the skillset of three different mobile quarterbacks in recent years (Josh Allen, Daniel Jones and Jaxson Dart). Sirianni has mentioned that Daboll served as a mentor to him in 2012, when they coached together for the Chiefs. Daboll has extensive experience calling plays in the NFL with multiple teams, along with one season at Alabama. While his heated exchanges with both players and coaches as a head coach are well documented, I believe that Daboll’s fiery personality could be what the Eagles need. It felt like Kevin Patullo didn’t have much of a spine at times and that wouldn’t be an issue at all with Daboll as offensive coordinator. The Eagles have seen what an experienced coordinator that isn’t afraid to speak their mind can bring to a team. *cough* Vic Fangio! *cough* While I’m not saying that Daboll is the caliber of coordinator that Fangio is, I do believe that he checks a lot of the boxes that the Eagles need to focus on in 2026. I also believe that Daboll is less likely to land a head coaching gig in 2027 than the other potential offensive coordinator candidates. Lastly, here’s an article from 2022 where Sirianni discussed his relationship with Daboll: si.com/nfl/giants/ons…

@BellCowVonte 😂 thanks for the laugh! GMAB

Fuck it one of them gotta be better than Jalen Hurts

@Chase_Senior BAMA was thrilled when Daboll left. He is not who we need as an OC.

Here are my favorite Eagles offensive coordinator candidates to replace Kevin Patullo. 🏈 Brian Daboll: Was Jalen Hurts' OC at Alabama. Developed Josh Allen early in his career. Coach of the Year in 2022 with the Giants after doing nice work with Daniel Jones. Has learned under Nick Saban and Bill Belichick. 🏈 Todd Monken: I think he could get Jalen Hurts back on track and bring some much-needed creativity to the offense and maxmize a dual-threat QB. Lamar Jackson put up some big numbers under Monken. 🏈 Davis Webb: QB's coach and pass game coordinator for the Broncos. Long-time backup QB, rising quickly and has learned under Sean Payton. 🏈Mike McDaniel: I'm a believer in the Kyle Shanahan scheme, but I'm pretty lukewarm on McDaniel - His offenses sucked in cold weather and vs. elite teams, but if he's just an OC, maybe some of the concerning HC managerial struggles go away. From a play-design, play-calling standpoint, the Eagles offense would no longer look like a high school offense. It would be as modern day as it gets. His run-game is dynamic FWIW. Scot Loeffler: IF the Eagles go internal, which I highly doubt they do, Loeffler, who is the Eagles QB's coach would be the best option. Actually liked what he did from a play-calling standpoint at Bowling Green as the head coach. I frankly think Sirianni should've demoted Patullo for Loeffler during the season. #Eagles

@KevinOConnor 😂 YOU FUNNY!

Jalen Hurts is a mid quarterback. Too small. Scrambles out of clean pockets because he can’t see. And yet he doesn’t want to run. Also doesn’t want to throw over the middle. So limited. The Eagles will need to do better at the QB position to win another Super Bowl with this core.

@MLFootball @Xommanders @EBJunkies @CommandersRealm @LawsNation @ScooterMagruder @TommyG105 @TheDougRush @LicensePlateGuy @StephieSmallls It has yet to reach dynasty status. However, I believe we can reach it with some coaching and player changes. Off-season and next year will be huge. If it's bad then there will be no need to talk dynasty.

TRUE OR FALSE: THE PHILADELPHIA #EAGLES “DYNASTY” IS OFFICIALLY OVER…? 🧐🧐🧐
