In 2008, Texas was a minute from beating Texas Tech in Lubbock. Colt McCoy (@ColtMcCoy) had just marched them 80 yards to go ahead, looked up at the clock, and then had the thought they might have scored too early...
They had. Michael Crabtree caught the winner on the sideline a few feet from where Colt was standing.
Five years later the Browns traded Colt to the 49ers. Jim Harbaugh met him at the facility and walked him down to the locker room. When Harbaugh turned the lights on, Crabtree was sitting right there.
"Hey, you know, I think you might know this guy."
Today, my good friend @ColtMcCoy joins me for a deep and personal discussion about his path from small-town Texas to 14 seasons in the NFL, the mentors and moments that shaped him, and the intentional process of stepping away from the game. We talk through his early years growing up on the sidelines, the day he went from being a complete unknown to over 100 Division 1 offers, and the mindset he built while earning the starting job and leading Texas to the National Championship.
Colt reflects on the physical and emotional toll of the 2009 title-game injury, the realities of NFL life, and the teammates, coaches, and owners who influenced him most. He also opens up about the year-long discernment process that led him to retire, move his family to Fort Worth, and build a new career in real estate.
We discuss:
• Colt’s early upbringing around football and how it shaped his identity
• Winning the starting job, leading Texas for four seasons, and the highs and lows along the way
• The 2009 national championship injury and its lasting impact
• Lessons from 14 years in the NFL, including leadership, longevity, and adapting his game
• His decision to retire, prioritize family, and pursue a new path in Fort Worth real estate
• The role of faith, patience, and discernment in navigating major life transitions

General Keane should come out of retirement and head the Joint Chiefs. He can achieve victory and end this.
🚨 TRUTH BOMB JUST DROPPED 🚨
Gen. Jack Keane went nuclear on Fox this morning — and what he revealed should make every American’s blood boil.
Our own intelligence services know the Pakistani and Qatari “mediators” are COMPROMISED.
They favor Iran.
They have been deliberately misleading the Trump administration about Tehran’s real intentions.
But Keane didn’t stop there.
He tore into Saudi Arabia — exposing how the Kingdom has repeatedly pulled the United States back from decisive military action.
When America was ready to force open the Strait… the Saudis denied us their airbases, denied us their airspace, and actively tried to stop the operation — even though they had zero knowledge of the plan and zero right to interfere.
Keane’s words were brutal:
They are not willing to sacrifice a single life or a drop of their oil to stop Iranian aggression.
But they’re more than happy for America to bleed.
More than happy for Israel to bleed.
This is the gratitude we get after decades of putting them under our nuclear and security umbrella.
Keane’s final judgment:
“It is shameful that they lack the spine to stand up for their people and the region.”
This is not diplomacy.
This is betrayal.
Watch the full 3+ minute clip. You won’t believe what you’re hearing. 👇

The Utes have more than proven they’re worthy & while Georgia has made a statement in the SEC, the belief that the Big12 competition is that inferior is absurd. Utah has great wins in a league every bit as balanced as the SEC…and they’re undefeated. #timmybsTop15

BREAKING: The House passed the SAVE America Act by a 218–213 vote.
The bill would require voter ID in elections as early as this coming November.
All Republicans present voted for it; one Democrat, Henry Cuellar, voted for it.

People don't realize how much of Texas is just big ranches that seem to go on forever.

"How does impeaching Donald Trump lower gas prices?"
Ro Khanna: "Well, it would prevent him from continuing this war."

🚨 JUST NOW: Sec. Marco Rubio responds to Iran attacking European REFRIGERATION units across HUNDREDS of supermarkets
"Yeah — why is that surprising? The IRGC has been conducting acts of terrorism and sabotage for a long time."
"Breaking news — the IRGC is bad! That's why we SANCTIONED them." 🎯
- French authorities blamed Shahid Kaveh, an IRGC cyber unit, for the Oct. 11-12 attack on supermarket fridges
- About 700 French retail sites were hit
- Hackers triggered "abnormal defrost cycles of unlimited duration" while disabling the temperature alarms, and some fridges reportedly hit 120°F overnight
- The sabotage caused tens of millions of euros in food losses and at least 15 fires
Imagine that. ISLAMIST TERRORISTS.

🚨 HOLY SMOKES. Sec. Marco Rubio just MIC DROPPED Amnesty International attacking the US for "war crimes" in Iran
"You know what I think Amnesty International should be focused on? An Iranian regime that M*RDERED in cold blood tens of THOUSANDS of people in the streets of Tehran and other parts of the country!"
"What Amnesty International should focus on is how the Iranian regime goes into hospitals when protesters are injured and M*RDERS the people in their hospital bed."
"And by the way, sometimes m*rders the doctors or the nurses who treated them. So they should focus on THEM!"
"THOSE are war crimes. THOSE are crimes against humanity. Those crimes are committing against their own people!"
"Amnesty International is a FRAUD!"
It's just another globalist organization that cozies up to Islamists and ignores the REAL crimes committed against humanity. Marco is spot-on
These "human rights" groups go silent when a regime slaughters its own people, then suddenly find their voice when America fights back!
Rubio said what millions of Iranians have been begging the world to acknowledge, and what AMERICANS KNOW
Just like the ICC, we will ignore "Amnesty International." Frankly, ANY group branding itself around "amnesty" should be written off as BS
The best Secretary of State we've had, EVER 🇺🇸

Absolute peak definition of the organization. . .
No adults in control. Any where. On the field or off.
But the money keeps rolling in thanks to #DallasCowboys fans addicted to the drug of Next Year.
