    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    Act Like You’ve Been There Before: A Culture Clash in Neyland StadiumFootball coaches seeking to instill both discipline and class in their players have long invoked a foundational, unwritten rule aimed at immature players who seek to make a spectacle of themselves when they score, sack a quarterback or make some other highlight-worthy play: When you make a great play, act like you’ve been there before.

    Excerpt · Critical tone

    Read excerpt

    The WNBA has graced us with the latest manifestation of far-left lunacy and penchant for self-destruction. For any who may not yet be in the know, in one fell swoop two former NBA players have shined a 1,000,000+ lumens spotlight on the conundrum that exposes the hypocrisy of the deranged leftists who pollute the WNBA.
