@JakeCrain_ You’ll notice, the best women’s sports are when they are stylistically different from the men’s counterpart. They lean into the distinctions between men and women and it pays off

College softball is the best women’s sport and it’s not close

@ydkb_likeme @Biz_burner2 Oh, to be clear, I 100% thinks Bediako was ineligible according to the rules. I just think there’s 100’s of guys like the one in the original tweet who is also ineligible according to the rules of the Bylaws.

@PastorView @Biz_burner2 Ah yes, the rules that state how if Bediako stays in the draft and signs an NBA agent he is no longer eligible! Said agent helped Bediako sign multiple NBA contracts. You retain your NCAA eligibility by not hiring an agent and testing the waters.

@ydkb_likeme @Biz_burner2 Bylaws 12.3 and 12.4 are about Agents/Drafts and NIL. Players have stayed in draft and still be allowed to play. Baker’s statement is just that a statement, it’s not the actual rules as written. But again, signing an NBA contract was never the rule.

@PastorView @Biz_burner2 Aight bro

@ydkb_likeme @Biz_burner2 It literally is not.

@PastorView @Biz_burner2 Lol it quite literally is

@ydkb_likeme @Biz_burner2 Is “NBA contract” an eligibility ruiner? Or does the NCAA Bylaws say something else?

@Biz_burner2 Did Mantas sign multiple NBA contracts and leave college knowing it would ruin his eligibility? Would be news to me if so

@WVPitt *pastoring a church 1-2 families away from having some momentum* Family with 5 kids comes. Seem very intentional with parenting. “Yeah, we’re needing something with more kids.” … “Yeah, we were too”-me to me

Oh man, this hits me in the feels. 😅 Also, an alternate version of this is ". . . have a large family come unannounced, then have them tell you after worship that they were just visiting a friend in the area and actually live in Colorado".

@AriWasserman Who got first pick?

We had a rivalries draft today. Who won?

@stoolpresidente There’s a small joint that offers unlimited salad with theirs. It’s a great place. You’ll feel like family while you’re there. I think it’s called @olivegarden

Best chicken parm in Atlanta?

@whignewtons In my experience, most men spend those 15 minutes on the toilet.

And how much additional time men got each year (15 minutes x 5 days x 50 weeks=62 hours!!) to focus on their studies/career/hobbies.

@SamRainer Sam, there was a lot of talk about small (>50 people) churches not making it out of Covid. Is it possible losing those bumped the median up? Or does the data say otherwise?

The median in-person worship attendance in churches has increased from 65 to 70 people since just before the pandemic. After years of decline, a five-person increase in the median congregation is not nothing. The typical church in America is not a megachurch. It is not a large multisite congregation. It is a smaller congregation trying to regain momentum after years of disruption. For these churches, five people matter. Five people can change the atmosphere in a worship service. Five people can strengthen a Sunday school class. Five people can help a church feel less fragile. Five people can represent a young family. Five is a significant number for many churches. churchanswers.com/blog/is-church…

@mhp_guy Roll Tide

My wife and I just did something we've never done in all our years of marriage. I sat her down and asked her what it was actually like being married to a serial entrepreneur. And I recorded it. The answer surprised me. We met at a funeral when we were 13 and 14. Got married at 21. Seven months later we bought our first house for $90,000 in 2008. We were making $2.13 an hour on paper waiting tables. Our mortgage was $483 a month. Our rent had been $500. She said yes to the house because the math made sense. We'd save $17 a month and own equity instead of throwing money away. That logic carried us through the next 18 years. A phone repair shop with a baby behind a drywall wall in the back. LCD sorting at the kitchen table with glass all over the carpet. An 18 month stretch where I built something that never materialized and we had to sell rental homes just to pay the mortgage. I asked her what felt overwhelming. She said the phone shop days. There were serious questions about where money would come from to pay bills next month. But she trusted me. I asked if she'd change anything if she could see the whole future upfront. She said she'd be more laid back during the setbacks because they all turned into stepping stones. And she'd save more during the good times because prosperity was temporary. Here's what I didn't expect her to say: the best two months of our marriage were when I barely worked. We moved to Houston for six months for our daughter's lung transplant. Then we spent the whole summer driving to all 50 states with a mobile hotspot so I could work from the road. The emails that got answered two days late? She doesn't remember them. Neither do I. Everything just worked out. Her advice to spouses married to entrepreneurs: recognize that it's scary for both of you. Make the choice together. Communicate. You'll regret not trying more than you'll regret trying and failing. Her advice to entrepreneurs with families: leave the laptop in the office. No phones at dinner. Compartmentalize. Your family will notice if you prioritize them. I asked her to rate me 1 to 10 on compartmentalizing work stress. She said a six. Not too right? But she's right. I'm terrible at shutting it off. Verbalizing stress makes it more real to me, more tangible. So I just carry it around. I probably need to work on that. The point is this: I would have zero businesses without her. Every founder with a spouse knows this is true. You need someone who sees the work ethic, trusts the process, and doesn't micromanage you with questions about how bills will get paid. You need someone who gives you space to solve the problems you created. And in return, you owe them presence. I'm not saying perfection. But you need to show up. Date nights every Saturday. Going to bed at the same time. Not missing the sports stuff. Being mentally there, not just physically. We're opposites on paper. She's a pure extrovert. I'm a pure introvert. But we see eye to eye on the things that matter. She never saw me making content like this. But I've been recording videos on my iPhone for friends and family since 2007. Now I just hit publish and the whole world gets to see. Lucky them, she said. If you're building something and your spouse isn't on board, show them this. Have the conversation. Make the plan together. Because the regret of not trying will haunt you longer than the pain of trying and pivoting.

@howertonjosh Are you using second tier colloquial or using Mohler’s triage framework? I assume we would be pretty close on how churches should talk and respond to those issues, but are you saying anyone who disagrees with us is a heretic?

I wish this didn't need to be said, but it does: If you are ever in a church that treats gender/marriage/sexuality/LGBT issues as a "second tier issue" either confront it immediately or run.

@drantbradley It is ironic though that Proctorio is an automated, AI-based online proctoring service, and had the professor not used AI it would have been impossible for the student to cheat with AI.

Employers should be worried about AI. The lengths that students go to in order to cheat on college assignments are paradigmatic of the ways these same students will cheat and lie when they work for you all. College professors are now professional cheating screeners.

@EmmyG_Sports @AaronSuttles Behind the Tide? Since that’s where every Bama man is

IF @AaronSuttles & I were to potentially have a weekly conversation with our favorite people in the world (you guys) on our favorite thing to discuss (Alabama) Do we have any name suggestions IF this is a possibility perhaps approaching?

@AuburnMemes Which NCAA Bylaw did Chuck break that Menifield did not?

Like the whole “Alabama fans are the stupidest fanbase” stuff isn’t a bit Keyon Menifield Jr. did NOT have an NBA 2-way contract & Bediako did This simple concept is like nuclear physics to them

@Nichola96225 @Biz_burner2 What NCAA Bylaw said that’s the rule?

@Biz_burner2 Nba contract big dawg

@AllAubarn @thecerealboxllc What NCAA bylaw says that’s the rule?

@thecerealboxllc He didn’t sign a contract that made him eligible to play an NBA game. Just like every other player yall ask this question about lol

Looking forward to someone telling me how this is COMPLETELY different than Charles Bediako’s situation
