@PatrickMcEnroe @SIRIUSXM @MadDogRadio What’s your desired outcome? Cutting college tennis to just the schools that can field American only rosters?
English

I will be devoting my radio show to this topic tomorrow morning.
It’s “Holding Court with Patrick McEnroe”
Live from 8-9am ET on @SIRIUSXM @MadDogRadio channel 82

I’m currently watching the SEC men’s tennis championship match between Texas and Mississippi State on the ESPN/SEC network. There are 12 players currently on court. 1 of them is from the United States of America

@Parsa_Nemati @AlGruskin Meanwhile @PatrickMcEnroe is trying to bring awareness to how mad people should be about college tennis not featuring enough of the players he wants
English

Massive college tennis news. Arkansas is cutting both their men's & women's tennis programs effective after this spring season.
The school becomes the only SEC school without a women's tennis team & joins Missouri as the only schools without a men's team.

@PatrickMcEnroe College tennis is shutting down programs left and right at the moment. Would be great to have some support for the players and teams instead of stoking anger

Watch me @PatrickMcEnroe on “American Agenda” on NEWSMAX today at 3:45 pm
It appears that my post from yesterday has really struck a cord.
A reality check on where we are in college sports

Doug Tompkins co-founded The North Face in 1966. He sold his share a few years later for $50,000. The real money came later, from a clothing brand called Esprit that he built with his first wife. He walked away from fashion in his forties and spent the rest of his life buying up wild land in South America and giving it away as national parks.
He died in 2015. His kayak flipped on a freezing Chilean lake while he was paddling with friends, including Yvon Chouinard, the founder of Patagonia (the clothing company). Doug spent almost two hours in near-freezing water before he was pulled out. The hypothermia killed him. He was 72.
The 800,000 hectares everyone keeps posting (about 2 million acres) is just the land Doug and his wife personally handed over. Kris took over after he died. She had been the CEO of Patagonia, the same clothing brand Yvon founded, named after the very region the couple was busy protecting. In 2018 Kris handed a million acres of their own land to the government of Chile. It is still the biggest land gift any private group has ever made to a country. Chile thanked them by upgrading nine million more acres of nearby state land to national park status.
Add it all up and you get about 15 million acres now protected across Chile and Argentina. More land than all of Switzerland. Thirteen new national parks have been created, with several more expanded. A 1,700-mile road called the "Route of Parks" connects them, running from the middle of Chile down to the bottom tip of South America. More than 90% of Chile's protected land is now in Patagonia.
Buying the land was just step one. They also brought in biologists to put the missing animals back. Jaguars are back in Argentina's wetlands after 70 years gone. So are giant otters, small native deer, and Andean condors (the huge South American vultures with wingspans up to 10 feet).
The latest piece is being finalized this spring. Chile is about to declare Cape Froward, at the very southern tip of the continent, the country's 47th national park. The land came from another 314,000 acres (about the size of Grand Teton) that Kris's foundation transferred to the Chilean government in late 2025.
Doug got the project off the ground. Kris closed the biggest pieces after he was gone. More than three decades of work, four hundred million dollars of their own money, and roughly 15 million acres now protected as national parkland.

@UziCryptoo Having kids so there will be someone around to provide fulfillment and meaning to your life when you get old seems like a can’t miss strategy
English

Friend of mine is 35 years old, married and doesn’t want kids.
His household income is roughly $300k/yearly and his house is nearly paid off.
They invest a good portion of their income for retirement, take multiple yearly vacations and live a nice life.
I think people like this are going to regret not having kids in their future.
One day when he’s old all he will have to look back on is the random stuff he bought and wasted money on.
Instead of putting that money towards having kids and building a family he’s choosing consumerism.
This just seems so wasteful and boring to me.

@Dimonator why? something like this might happen once every 5 years, its one point, tip your cap and move on!
English

what I want to know is why Georgia didn't protest? Absolutely no way I would continue playing the match if this point was awarded to Kentucky.

This woman is making her famous seafood Alfredo. She starts off by putting frozen cooked shrimp, crab and imitation crab onto the griddle. The she adds garlic and onions, cheese and jarred Alfredo and breaks up raw pasta.
She keeps cooking until she proclaims the noodles are al dente even though we see some raw ends sticking up. She has her husband be the taste tester for her creation. He takes one bite but I wonder why he doesn’t give his opinion on it. Would you or have you made this on the griddle, did she do it right?

@TheLongInvest @grok what is the price to free cash flow ratio on NKE and is their stock a good value based on this metric?
English

$NKE - THE IMPOSSIBLE RANGE TO IGNORE -
Between $26 - $39
$NKE does not need to drop into this range to be considered undervalued as it is already -30% below its 200 MONTHLY MA
But there is:
- A bullish wedge apex
- VWAP mean
- And Fib support levels
All in this range, while being technically extremely oversold.
Risk is effectively zero at this point.

English

@danielisdizzy It’s really expensive on price to free cash flow. Not a lot of value if you care about that kind of thing

A blog post just wiped $30 billion off IBM in a single afternoon.
Not a product launch. Not an earnings miss. Not a competitor undercutting on price.
A five-minute blog post explaining that Claude can read COBOL.
IBM dropped 13%. Worst single-day loss since October 2000. Twenty-five years of stock resilience ended by one AI company publishing a capability update.
Here’s what happened:
95% of ATM transactions in America run on COBOL. Hundreds of billions of lines power banking, airlines, and government systems. The developers who built them retired decades ago. The knowledge left with them. Finding engineers who can even read COBOL gets harder every quarter.
IBM’s moat was never the technology. It was the fact that nobody else could understand it. Entire consulting empires existed because the code was too old, too tangled, and too critical to touch. Companies paid IBM billions because the alternative was catastrophic system failure.
Then Anthropic published a blog post saying Claude Code can map dependencies across thousands of lines of COBOL, document workflows, identify migration risks, and translate legacy logic into modern languages. Modernization in quarters instead of years.
The market heard: the priesthood just lost its monopoly on the sacred language.
And this isn’t the first time. Last week Anthropic announced Claude Code Security for vulnerability scanning. CrowdStrike dropped. Okta dropped. Cloudflare dropped. One company is serially destroying legacy moats with blog posts.
Now here’s where it gets surreal.
This same company, on the same day, also published evidence that three Chinese AI labs ran 24,000 fake accounts and 16 million exchanges to steal Claude’s capabilities. DeepSeek used it to build censorship tools. MiniMax pivoted within 24 hours when a new model dropped, redirecting half its traffic to steal the latest version.
And yesterday, the Pentagon summoned this same company’s CEO for what officials called a “sh*t-or-get-off-the-pot meeting,” threatening to blacklist them like Huawei for refusing to let the military use Claude without safety restrictions.
Three stories. One company. Twenty-four hours.
The company destroying legacy moats faster than the market can reprice them is simultaneously being threatened by its own government and looted by foreign competitors.
Anthropic is valued at $380 billion. Its CEO says a 12-month delay in AI would make him bankrupt. The Pentagon wants to designate it a supply chain risk. Chinese labs are running industrial espionage against it. And it just proved it can vaporize $30 billion in market cap with a Monday morning blog post.
Whatever you think about AI disruption, IBM’s stock just settled the argument.

@CTennisNation @SSN_GardnerWebb That’s terrible news. Not great for tennis to get replaced by women’s tumbling either
English

🚨 BREAKING: Gardner-Webb will discontinue both men’s and women’s tennis following the 2026 season, per release.
The decision comes as Gardner-Webb adds women’s flag football and women’s acrobatics & tumbling.
Fresh off winning the 2025 Big South Tournament Championship, the Runnin’ Bulldogs built a nationally ranked program with multiple regular-season titles and back-to-back 20-win seasons.
