@MichaelFordBU America has 350million people! There are plenty of quality athletes that would love to go represent and try and earn some money at that. Finding 8 quality 400m runners should not be hard...

Mike on the 🎙️: been reading a lot of comments on the USA is “scared” to compete in the 4x4 at Word Relays. People remember, it’s an off year , what championship we trying to qualify relays for? Athletes are doing different events this year. USA is definitely not Scared to run. Last thing, 18 Gold medals at Olympics and 12 Gold medals at Worlds and we hold the world records. I am ✅

@usatf Lawsuit incoming, as it should! "You lead me off course when I was winning", "yeah you're right we did, but sorry we don't have any recourse in our handbook to help you out, sorry"... what kind of response is that?! Trash is what it is.

USA Track & Field has released the following statement regarding the Half Marathon Championships.

@Part4 @KoachVaughn There's a reason they took it out of the world Champs...

Question to my fellow coaches Indoor 200s If lane 3 and 4 are “the lanes of death” and the probability of running fast and advancing to a final are low…. Should we rethink the indoor 200 as an event? Or at least have a conversation. I’m curious about it.

@FloTrack Difference is one had super shoes and one didnt. Makes a massive difference...

👀 A quick look at what Sam Ruthe and Jakob Ingebrigtsen respectively accomplished before turning 17. Jakob turned 17 in 2017. Sam Ruthe turns 17 in early April.

@TheBradOwen Seems like all you need is a poker vacation to spend time with your family and have a system reboot. Often times what we enjoy most in life can always overwhelm us and that's most likely why we enjoy it so much! Health is wealth brotha and kids grow fast! Take the fam on vacay.

I just need to vent a little bit otherwise I feel like I'm going to completely lose what I like about myself... I'm up about a million lifetime in poker, but it's not that much over the course of 20+ years. I'm down $400k from the high point before the 2024 WSOP started. I've only had one complete losing year (last year), but I'm down $100k this year already and I feel like I'm losing my identity and a failure if I don't turn things around soon, especially if I'm not as open about it as I can be about the tough times. I've done pretty much everything in poker except win a major title so I've torched money in mixed games trying to get better and learn/play with the best in small field large buy-in events. This is where the overwhelming majority of the $400k downswing has come from, and it's really not that many buy-ins when I'm playing high stakes events, but I need to talk about it somewhere since there are no vlogs of these sessions. I can always just quit and go back to cash where wins are consistent and easier, but it's enjoyable for me to push myself and I don't want to give up just yet even though it would certainly be better for my mental well-being. I put an insane amount of pressure on myself to try to be the best dad, significant other, poker player, content creator, ambassador, etc. that I can be. It's tough to ever escape or take a break because I fear that if I turn off the machine, even for a short time, I might not be able to turn it on again. There aren't a ton of people who can relate to what I have going on - maybe just 2 or 3 partially and 1 of them WPT made what I consider to be a massive mistake by parting ways with, which leads to me feeling very isolated and just generally not having nearly as much fun as I used to in the poker world. I don't know how much time I have left in this space before I get too burnt out. Time with my family is what makes me the most happy and I don't get to be with them or be there for them quite as much as I would like. My health is deteriorating as well and I just can't keep up at the pace I've been at the last several years even though there are plenty of reasons to keep churning out videos as frequently as I can. I'm incredibly fortunate to be in the situation I'm in. I love being on the WPT team - I don't agree with all of the decisions, but typically they do a lot of cool things for poker and I'm in the position to be able to lose $10ks and not have it affect my life at all. I'm living the dream and my 15 year old self wouldn't believe that I actually made it in the poker industry - I'm on the same f***ing team as Ivey!! Most days I'm super grateful and appreciative. Some days I just want to burn everything I've built down because I feel like a fraud and don't feel like I deserve any of it. None of what I do is that hard or that important and if I started making vlogs in the current climate, I'd likely get lost in the shuffle and wouldn't be nearly as successful. I don't like where some things are headed. I hate YouTube shorts. I hate AI voiceovers. I hate that a lot of people are promoting the game in a way that I don't think is healthy for younger people to see because the approach is that they're content creators first trying to do the most exciting thing and not the most responsible thing. I'm contributing to that now, and it's easy for me to justify blasting off in certain spots to hopefully make an interesting video and achieve certain goals I had when I was a first fell in love with poker in the early 2000s (like winning a bracelet or WPT), but I guess this tweet is my attempt to try to make things slightly better. It actually hurts me to see top level players like Jeremy Ausmus, Seth Davies, and even Chidwick to some extent, make poker content on YouTube/Twitter/Instagram. Nearly all of the poker content, especially from these guys is objectively good for poker, but vlogs used to be something that most top guys shit all over and now we're seeing them with stands and cameras at the table because the major poker companies don't give the best players ambassador roles anymore. I 100% benefit from it - I'm like win the lottery and get struck by lightning on the same day lucky. I just miss how things were back in the heyday and I'd like to see more opportunities for the guys I look up to in the industry - the guys who have actually accomplished a lot on the felt. Also, I hate that Kalshi sponsors the Lodge livestream and I think some gum company does as well that just has nothing to do with poker. It feels weird and even there we've strayed from what made that place special, but I'm optimistic we're going to right the ship. I wish I was there more to help make that happen. One of the few things I'm proud of myself for recently is turning down the opportunity to promote the side gambling games that Gold offers, which would've made me a lot more money. If I didn't do that I would've felt like I've sold out completely. I have no issues promoting poker because I'm an example of someone who's been successful at it, whereas if people are betting/gambling in things they have no shot at winning in the long-run - I just can't be a part of it and don't want to promote it. Let's see what else... Andrew Neeme should be in the poker hall of fame for revolutionizing poker in two massive ways - meet up games and vlogging, which has inspired more poker players than almost everything in the last few decades. WSOP needs to move its Bahamas event to January and stop giving out so many online bracelets. I don't know how you guys don't dislike shameless promotions more. I know that I should get a therapist and I will likely regret tweeting this 🔥🔥🔥

@sydneyarch @cheprofessor @SouthwestAir Seems a bit like extortion to me...🤦🏾🤷🏾

@cheprofessor @SouthwestAir Yep. My mom got a text from them saying she was on standby for her flight now. But of course she can get a seat if she pays to upgrade to whatever tier is above basic.

Did you guys know that if you buy the “basic” @SouthwestAir ticket and they oversell the seats, they’ll downgrade you to stand by even though you paid for a seat 🤡

@heidi31230199 @SouthwestAir Unfortunately this is what I was afraid of as well. We habe 2 companion passes and A-list and this new seating policy basically makes A-list obsolete. No point in staying loyal to Southwest anymore...smdh

After flying today @SouthwestAir As an A list member, with the new boarding policy I was disappointed that I was not only one of the last passengers to board the plane, but there was also no overhead bin space and I was forced to check my bag.

@CubSwanson @AlanJouban Banger alert!! Let's go🔥🔥🔥

@AlanJouban I appreciate your blessing 🫡

I approve!🔥

@runnerspace @ArmoryNYC Not trying to post shade, but in any college meet thats a straight DQ

MR WILLLLLLLLLSON 🗣️ Quincy Wilson runs a US #1 32.94 300m at the U.S. Marine Corps Holiday Classic at @armorynyc on Saturday.

@CarlBanksGIII These people have lost it. We finally get a josh allen type duel threat QB who is a competitor and people want to trade for a "should be" rookie? Yeah no. Trade it and get another WR and DB help.

Brain Worms have infected these folks🤣🤣

@marcuslemonis @BedBathBeyond @FoxNews Just because you say it isnt political doesn't mean it isnt. When you write, "it's time to take a stand" that means it is political. You don't like California's policies and thats ok...

Official statement regarding @BedBathBeyond We will not open retail stores in California. This isn’t about politics — it’s about reality. California’s system makes it nearly impossible for businesses to succeed, and I won’t put our company, our employees, or our customers in that position. See attachment.

@krassenstein I always say if you want a 180 degree eye opening experience in terms of how people live, visit Japan. Culture is clean, efficient, safe and most importantly, RESPECTFUL!

I just returned from two weeks in Japan, and I have to be honest, it really opened my eyes to how far behind the U.S. is falling in so many basic ways. Some things that stood out: - In two weeks across some of Japan’s most densely populated cities, I saw only two visibly homeless people. - I saw one person who appeared to be struggling with addiction. - High-speed rail made affordable, clean, efficient transportation the norm, not a fantasy. - I never once felt unsafe letting my kids walk freely beside me in public. - Despite having far fewer public trash cans, Japan’s streets had a fraction of the litter. - The country’s reduced income inequality was visible everywhere, from housing to public services. I already know what some right-wing folks will say: “It’s because Japan has low immigration” or “It’s not run by Democrats.” But those are lazy excuses and distractions from the real issues. The truth? We’ve normalized dysfunction in the U.S., and we make excuses for it instead of demanding better.

@Part4 Bush league?! You cannot be serious. How bout you don't be a punk, stare me down, then cross in front of me. He lucky it wasn't someone else... Not to mention he slid out that 100m so he wouldn't take an L to Kenny cause he knows Kenny would have dropped that 9.7 on his head.smdh

@ReallyAmerican1 Its not that you make money... it's HOW you male money. Not a hard concept. You're playing with a stacked deck, while the citizens you are SUPPOSED to represent dont get the same info you're getting to make money.. its called INSIDER TRADING sir....smdh

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Sen. Rick Scott (net worth: $550M) came out hard against the ban on congressional stock trading. "this idea that we're going to attack people because they make money is wrong." An 86% majority of voters support the ban.

@RaesTake When MJ said it was because of Tariffs he's not lying. I can't tell you how many businesses have been affected by the tariffs. Thats why MJ didn't trash them. Trust me when I say their engagement has been awesome for a new startup league based on the metrics.

@RaesTake You can't measure business growth in 1 month for an entertainment business. Doesnt work that way. When I say growth, I mean engagement growth. Seeing Kingston then seeing Phili, it was clear that engagement and interest grew each slam. Like MJ said, first year was about fact find

@RaesTake They probably committed to investing 8 figures with giving an initial amount up front, then monthly or quarterly installments. Plus each event got better. So as an investor that's a perfect scenario, which is growth. It def wasn't because of GST and Kingston.

@RaesTake No investors goes to ONE event then pulls their money because they don't see the ROI. Every person in business knows that the first few years of business are going to operate in the red. UFC was underwater MILLIONS when the fertittas bought them. Now its worth $6BILLION.

@TracKingScience @iFearGodNotThem Yeah injuries are part of the sport, but that doesnt change the fact that they still have only about 6 weeks to catchup to everyone else which is tough cause everyone else still has 6 weeks to sharpen up as well.They may have been there before, but doesnt negate fitness lost.

@Jpump44 @iFearGodNotThem Neither of them planned to get injured. They would love to be running faster, but they gotta work up from where they are now. Sit back and watch what the defending world champs can do.

I could be wrong, but Noah looks heavy . He Might be in a heavy block of weights and training cycle. But if he’s running 10.0/19.8 in that cycle he’s going to be ready by September. But what do I know.
