Adam Sandler walks into a house full of college students and is expecting to get a big reaction. Instead, almost nobody cares. Super embarrassing! The celebrity class is over.

Game 7
Game 7@game7__·
This is why Dawn Staley will never be a true legend. It's all Balenciaga and Louis Vuitton and whatever is best for Dawn Staley. Of course her players can't win the big one... their coach is too worried about her brand to actually care about what UCLA is doing. Again, Dawn Staley wore a $2,300 Balenciaga jacket to the national championship game tonight. No South Carolina logo. No team colors. No Gamecocks branding anywhere on her. Her team lost 79-51. That jacket tells you more than the score does. Staley is a decent enough coach. Three national championships. A perfect 38-0 season in 2024. Five National Coach of the Year awards. The highest-paid women's basketball coach in the country at $4.25 million a year. But somewhere along the way, Dawn Staley the coach became Dawn Staley the brand. Her fans call her "Louis Vuitton Dawn." She wore Gucci for the first round this year. Balenciaga for the second. Gucci again for the Sweet 16. Louis Vuitton for the Final Four. There are entire articles dedicated to ranking her outfits by round. WWD tracks her sideline looks. Essence runs features on her style. She published a memoir last year called "Uncommon Favor" that became a New York Times bestseller. None of that is a crime. She's allowed to be all of those things. But tonight she stood on the sideline in a luxury brand's name while her team put up the worst title-game performance in program history. South Carolina shot 29% from the field. 2-for-15 from three. Their starters went 8-for-31. Joyce Edwards, their leading scorer, was held to 3-for-10 for eight points. UCLA outscored South Carolina 25-9 in the third quarter. That's the largest single-quarter margin in championship game history. By the end of that quarter it was 61-32. South Carolina averages 86.5 points per game. They scored 51. That's 35 points below their own standard in the biggest game of the year. Meanwhile, Gabriela Jaquez had 21 points, 10 rebounds, and five assists. Only the fifth player in history to put up a 20-10-5 in a title game. Lauren Betts had 14 and 11. UCLA's six seniors scored every single one of their 79 points. Cori Close won her first national championship in her 15th year at UCLA. She wasn't trending for what she was wearing. The full story on how Dawn Staley's brand showed up and her coaching didn't is here: itsgame7.com/news/dawn-stal… Two days ago, Staley beat UConn 62-48 in the Final Four. She looked every bit the championship coach. Geno Auriemma melted down so badly that assistants had to separate them near the scorer's table. Two days later, her team came out flat against UCLA, fell behind early, never adjusted, and got run off the floor by a team that wanted it more. The third-largest margin of victory in title game history. The Balenciaga jacket didn't cause the loss. UCLA was better. Their defense suffocated South Carolina. Their size inside was a problem the Gamecocks never solved. But when you show up to a national championship game wearing somebody else's name instead of your school's, and your team looks like they forgot whose name they were supposed to be playing for too, the image sticks. She's still rich and famous. Good for her. But tonight, the brand showed up and the coaching didn't.

@mitchlafon One option is entice labels and bands to create for albums and not singles… but that isn’t changing until people stop streaming. Artists used to make $3-$4 an album. Now, it’s pennies

Richie, you and Bon Jovi are the reason my life is in the position that it is. I’ve never been a team Jon or Richie guy… I looked at you as the man because your guitar work made me beg my parents to get me a guitar. I looked to Jon with as much inspiration, but in a different way. You guys changed my life and I’m so grateful to have made the HOF induction! Seeing him say things about you not having your life together or you saying the plastic voice thing… it sucks to hear. But you’re two humans and I won’t judge. I’ll keep hoping to see a reunion, but in the meantime I’m all ears for the music you make! ❤️ 🤘🏻 And I’m so sorry about the passing of your mom. I lost mine in 2019 and it’s never not on my mind.

Thanks Jerry, adressing the negativity, I reacted wrongly, and never should have said the throat comment. I sincerely apologize and its very uncharacteristicof who i am. Deeply sorry. And as far as the people still dont know i can sing, produce, stc. comment, i really still walk into meetings, and executive’s, producers go “is that you singing?”…not whinng or complaining. Its just surprising and funny after my track record. I had fun chatting with my fans. It cheered me up. Jerry i see you as the social media voice of the band. You’ve aways been kind to me, so if ya feel like passin it on, Please do.. thanks man.. Richie
Jerry Braden@Jerrybraden92

Don’t be hard or negative on yourself. Unfortunately, there’s people that’ll do that for you. Ideally, their opinion doesn’t matter. You know whose opinion matters? Yours. Self-reflection is one of the most constructive, but also destructive traits we preserve in our mentality. How we treat and feel about ourselves reflects on our everyday life and those around us. We can be our own worst critic, especially when we compare ourselves to someone else. That’s not healthy. You aren’t someone else, you are you. That’s what makes you special. It’s important to take a step back, look around, and breathe as we remember the positive aspects in our life. What we contribute to society. What we do for our friends and family. Do we have bad traits? Of course. Self-reflection can be important on the negative traits we have, traits we want to improve on. We aren’t perfect, but hopefully a tomorrow is given and we can strive to be better. Don’t destruct yourself, but construct. Never look at yourself and be hard on yourself. You are your greatest strength. We’re all in this world together. Let’s be kind not only to others, but also ourselves.

@TheRealSambora You sing and play like I can only dream, but to those taking it the wrong way, playing guitar is also amazing. Guitar wooed me before singers did, which is why I picked it up. So being known more as a guitarist, in one of the most famous bands ever… pretty rad!

@ShakeShakti lol I swear… I owe my life as a “make a living” musician to all of the members of Bon Jovi, especially Jon and Richie. They are people that get defensive, over exaggerate, etc. they can both be right and wrong here. But I do love reading these comments. It’s just entertaining

@HLovewine Eh… it’s all perspective. Give me the situation they were in and I agree. Half of my family died and that is trauma to me. But I can’t judge how someone else would react to their situations. I can relate with Richie as well.

A millionaire rockstar having a band member quit a tour is not “trauma.” 🙄🧐 especially considering he unceremoniously replaced that band member and continued with the tour. Why is it that the Buffalo Bills never come up in the course of this timeline?

@bobobo971 @GamecockWill69 @NussHeismanx2 Scared? What makes you say that? The fact that they haven’t won since 2008? The fact that SC beat the brakes off of them last year in Nashville? Vandy falling for the transitive property in football? They beat VA tech better, so they are better? Doesn’t work like that

-Diego Pavia told iShowSpeed to break the team down with “fuck South Carolina” at practice -Vandy o linemen says Dylan Stewart is “whatever” -They’ve circled this game for months -They called Williams Brice Stadium a party meaning they aren’t worried about the noise -They’ve said they are gonna come in and dominate us I hope we absolutely obliterate Vanderbilt. It’s going to be deafening in that stadium and I know the players feel disrespected and are going to come out hungry

I wanna know Which collaborations are you most excited for? For me, it’s Walls of Jericho and Living in Paradise For Walls of Jericho, I think Joe Elliot is the perfect candidate. Full on rock n roll song and Joe’s gonna bring it full 100%. Can’t wait to hear how Jon and Joe sound together. For Living in Paradise, I was really hoping for Ed Sheeran to sing since he also co-wrote it and song sounds similar to Tides (instrumentally), which I love. But Avril is a great runner up as I absolutely love her voice and can’t wait to hear how she sings the choruses, especially the “long September” line For the artists I don’t know, I think it’s a great avenue to discover new artists And I’m really excited for all the different fan bases from each artist to “discover” more of Bon Jovi and hear the new album #BonJovi

@yoyoyo98765 @heathradio lol you’re absolutely wrong. It was the story of the game. In national media and in SC. Even among many Clemson fans. Yes, the refs took 14 points from us. And not even that, so many more calls. This is the only game I’ve ever watched where I truthfully blamed the refs

This was the last time Bon Jovi’s heart and soul stood together as one. It wasn’t just a show — it was the epilogue. A moment where the scripts were thrown away, and the honorary mentions meant nothing. This… this was Bon Jovi, raw and real.

@connerfuller @Jerrybraden92 @TheJustinFabus Wouldn’t say that’s true. Just it isn’t preferred by the labels or pushed by streamers. Spotify basically penalizes you for an album bc you can’t get singles pushed by them if it’s been out on a record. But bands make them, just gotta find ‘em.

I'm currently 9 minutes into the @Jerrybraden92 podcast with @TheJustinFabus and a great point is brought up, we live in such an age where a true musical album, doesn't really exist. A few bands still do it, Bon Jovi, Hinder, Billy Gilman, Keith Urban, but that's it.
