“Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.”
- Oscar Wilde
Oscar Wilde, born in Ireland in 1854, was a celebrated writer, poet, playwright, and intellectual whose work explored beauty, individuality, morality, and the complexities of human nature. Known for his sharp wit and profound observations, Wilde challenged societal expectations while examining love, identity, and human behavior. His literary legacy continues to influence generations, securing his place among the most remarkable figures in English literature.
Wilde’s philosophy offers a powerful reminder that people should never be judged solely by their past. Even those we admire have made mistakes, experienced hardships, and faced moments they would rather forget. Likewise, those who have made poor decisions deserve the opportunity to grow and change. Human beings are constantly evolving, learning from their experiences, and becoming different versions of themselves.
Yet society often defines individuals by their worst moments, overlooking their capacity for redemption and personal growth. Wilde challenges the idea that people are permanently good or bad, emphasizing that mistakes do not determine someone’s entire character. A person’s past may reveal where they have been, but it cannot predict who they will become. Ultimately, no one should be denied the possibility of a better future simply because of the choices they once made.
Unless the Commanders come back in 2nd half and win, the NFC East will be winless the last 2 weeks.
No NFL division has ever gone winless in two consecutive weeks when all four teams played in both weeks.
Too “tough on players”
Too “Old School”
Nope 👇🏼
Michigan State journalism student Elliott Hammon still has the video Tom Izzo sent him before his brain tumor surgery four and a half years ago.
Hammon brought it up during Izzo’s press conference and asked how it impacts him knowing he means so much to people.
Izzo’s full response:
“It’s better than winning.”
“What people think of you, how you can inspire people. I mean, that’s why I’m here. Some people jump around and go to different jobs. I want to be a part of the fabric of this place, and I want to be a guy that people can come to.
“If that tape, or that video, or phone call helped you… (pounds chest) that’s awesome.”

Halfway through her pregnancy, a young mother learned the baby boy growing inside her would not survive outside her womb.
She carried him for another four months knowing that for as long as he remained inside her, she could keep him safe.
Peter James Raridon was born September 11th.
His mom Anna and dad Eli, a rookie tight end for the New England Patriots, learned during their 20-week anatomy scan that Peter had anencephaly, a fatal condition affecting development of the brain and skull.
Instead of preparing to bring their first baby home, they spent the remainder of the pregnancy loving him while knowing their time together would likely be painfully short.
Anna says she is grateful she got to love Peter, protect him and be his home for nine months.
Then she wrote the words that absolutely broke my heart:
“I have loved you every second of your life & will miss you every second of mine.”
Anna and Eli are leaning heavily on their faith, believing their son’s life had meaning regardless of how brief it was and that their goodbye is not forever.
One of the images they shared shows Peter’s tiny footprints inside a Bible.
A reminder that this little boy was here, he was deeply loved, and he will always be their son.
Please pray for these young parents and for every mother and father who understands the heartbreak of loving a baby they never got to bring home.

Beautiful!
An unlikely healer outside the Roswell Park Cancer Center in Buffalo has inspired, uplifted and encouraged patients in his role. One breast cancer survivor found a special way to thank him — a day at a @BuffaloBills game he won’t forget. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in New York.
These refs are absolutely horrendous. This is a flagrant 1 every single time but the victim is called for the foul.
There were 3 ACES players that left the bench during A’ja Wilson incident. Why aren’t they suspended? (see WNBA rule below)
