I remember watching this game and thinking "Don't let them win here. Just get this one so they can celebrate on their field." Little did I know.
10 years ago today, the Cubs defeated the Indians in Game 5 of the 2016 World Series to force a Game 6. Aroldis Chapman completed an eight-out save to send the Cubs back to Cleveland 🤯

I’ve always liked this Houston Chronicle photo of head coach Jerry Glanville, QB coach June Jones and DB coach Nick Saban at a 1988 Oilers practice.

I was just saying this again to my dad this past week. The AL winning the All-Star game in 2016 was a significant reason why the Cubs won the World Series. It allowed Kyle Schwarber to be a DH four out of the seven games.
10 years ago, Kyle Schwarber returned in Game 1 of the World Series after nearly missing the entire 2016 season due to multiple ligament tears in his left knee. One of the greatest comebacks ever. 🙏🏼

You don’t say? You can be great in NFL without elite physical traits if you know what you are looking for, can process quickly & deliver the accurately… NO WAY!!!
Why is Brock Purdy so good? 1. Reads and makes decisions as quickly as any QB ever, including Dan Marino 2. Has double-plus accuracy along the lines of Aaron Rodgers and the stones to throw it into coverage As Belichick once said to me, decision making and accuracy are two ...
