Re-Watching @FearTWD
Still not over how they did Travis dirty. Goes full “Rick-Mode” S2:15 and then get rid of him in season 3. Cliff Curtis is an awesome actor, could’ve kept him in it even if the focus was mainly on Madison.

HS kids should be free. And for that matter, any student. Figure it out.

State Cup dub last night. Played 81/90 minutes at OB. Zero shots on goal allowed. No fouls given up. Had an assist off a throw in to the PK. #WeWantTheCup @usyscups @LwcBoys @NCC_Soccer @NCC_Athletics

@VincentDJohnson @Millar_S If it were last fall- my money is on @ChuckStevens08 This spring… not sure @EmmyStevens9210 is the one for the job.

One of two things going on here.
1. It's called the "@Millar_S Special", if regulations ends tied, a player from each team races 50 meters against the official. Winner gets the W, if the ref wins he gets paid OT in OT.
2. #Marist’s Sofia Wilson & #StLaurence's Giselle Castillo were chasing down a ball.

Remember this analogy: Some adults are so focused on building castles that they forget about the overall kingdom.
A high school coach said that to me recently, and he was 100 percent right.
Right now, high school sports have a credibility problem when it comes to health and safety.
That is a kingdom problem that every adult leader should be looking at and even calling their peers out for stupidity.
Adults around high school sports are always quick to criticize travel teams and the number of games kids play year-round. But has anyone stopped to look at what’s happening inside high school sports itself?
In too many cases, adults are over-scheduling to begin with. Coaches aren’t playing their benches, because they’re worried about winning a meaningless Wednesday game in October, January or April….games no one will remember 10 years from now.
Games get jammed into schedules because, “That’s the way it’s always been done.”
What are we doing?
Student athletes are now openly mocking parts of high school sports on social media.
Kids love their schools, communities, teammates and bus rides. They love competing. They want to play.
Adults know and see the injury data. For anyone in high school sports to act like the system is innocent in the rise of youth injuries, it’s time to look in the mirror.
Do you know how many coaches across different sports have said to me this spring, “Man, we’re banged up.”
Well, look at the schedules.
More teams are taking full weeks off for spring break. Weather postponements create back-to-back-to-back game situations. And then everyone acts surprised when bodies of kids start breaking down.
Playing too many games in a short span absolutely contributes to fatigue and increases injury risk, including ACL tears.
Common sense 101: Wear and tear reduces stability, strength and recovery time — especially for kids, who are still developing physically.
Tell me this: Why are baseball teams in Illinois still trying to squeeze in 35 games every spring when everyone knows weather disruptions are inevitable?
Why are adults refusing to trust or develop their benches, because they’re obsessed with winning a random regular-season game?
These are kids. They’re not pro athletes with elite recovery staffs, nutritionists and resources.
Most kids aren’t hydrated properly. Many aren’t eating correctly. Many are playing through injuries. Many aren’t sleeping enough.
Even pro teams give players rest days and sacrifice games for long-term health.
Think about this: The Chicago Fire has eight games between March 16 to May 15. They play 45-minute halves.
High school soccer teams in Illinois are playing 25 games during that span. They play 40-minute halves.
Math 101: The Fire is playing 720 minutes over a 60-day stretch, while high school teams are playing 2,000 minutes - almost three times as much - in the same period.
Why are we cramming in 9-0 conference mismatches everyone already saw coming?
Why are schools spending transportation money, official fees, athletic trainer hours and field maintenance resources on games that serve little purpose besides overloading kids physically?
What’s the point?
If adults truly believe running kids onto fields four times in five days is healthy or necessary, it’s time to start firing people.

K Drew Stevens explains how he landed with the Commanders (Bills/Titans also wanted him) and talks range. Friday in Ashburn was windy. If ideal indoor conditions, said he's "comfortable" from 60-65 yards.
