Nick and Jonathan question the atmosphere of the Browns locker room. Then, they review the show's season-long 'QB Deadpool,' and they're joined by Cash Lovett for ‘Put It On The Line with Cash Lovett.'

When your marriage is falling apart, your health is failing, or you're buried under years of pain, it's easy to believe hope is gone forever. This raw message from Shawn Stevens, two and a half years into sobriety, reveals why the moments when everything feels hopeless are actually where hope in Jesus begins - and how resurrection power is standing in front of you right now.

Norm Hitzges is fresh from MetLife Stadium — and if you're a Jets fan, you might want to cover your eyes. In this episode of Just Wondering, Norm breaks down the Cowboys' 37–22 beatdown of the New York Jets with all the charm, humor, and brutal honesty we've come to love.From wearing his buddy's Jets shirt (for “diplomatic reasons”) to watching fans file out of the stadium like it was a funeral, Norm captures every ounce of the chaos — the fumbles, the flags, the failed faith, and yes, the guy whose jersey literally read HOPELESS.Between analyzing Dak Prescott's precision, Ryan Flournoy's breakout, and the Jets' knack for self-sabotage, Norm still finds time to drop a few gems about steak, skincare, and retirement — because balance is key.It's sports talk meets storytelling, with a dash of snark and a whole lot of truth. ⏱️ Chapters:00:00 - Jets Bench Views and Questionable Wardrobe Choices01:33 - Fluent Financial Wants You to Retire Happier Than a Jets Fan03:53 - A Win So Good It Felt Wrong to Complain04:38 - Dallas Dominates While Missing Half Its Offense05:26 - The Jets Find New Ways to Lose (Again)06:45 - Third-and-One?

Norm Hitzges dives headfirst into the misery that is New York Jets football—an endless carousel of quarterbacks, penalties, and heartbreak—now handed to new head coach Aaron Glenn. Can the former undersized cornerback bring real change, or is this franchise doomed by history?Along the way, Norm contrasts the Jets' struggles with the Dallas Cowboys' potential this season, offering sharp takes on what both teams' futures may hold. And just when the gridiron talk gets heavy, Norm pivots to baseball to unpack Bruce Bochy's surprise exit from the Texas Rangers—why it happened, what it means, and how the team moves forward.It's classic Norm: insightful, blunt, and packed with stories only he can tell.⏱️ Chapters:00:00 - Cowboys Questions, Jets Misery01:27 - Aaron Glenn: The Little Cornerback Who Could03:49 - Jets History: 55 Years of Frustration05:25 - Stat Sheet of Sadness07:02 - Can They Run Their Way Out?08:41 - Wide Receiver Wasteland09:33 - Vegas Knows Best11:03 - Bochy Walks Away12:28 - Did the Rangers Waste a Season?14:05 - Looking Ahead, But Missing Bochy

Mentors: climate change is hopeless—at least, that's the message many young scientists are hearing from the people they were told to admire. But what if giving up isn't the only option? In this episode, I respond to a heartfelt email from a marine science student who refuses to stay silent, even when senior scientists tell her that solutions to climate change are naive, misguided, or politically inconvenient. Mentors: climate change is hopeless may be the mantra of a tired system, but this generation of scientists has grown up under the weight of ecological crisis—and they're ready to do something about it. I share concrete advice for early-career changemakers who want to be bold, build community, speak truth to power, and help people understand real climate solutions despite institutional apathy.

Luke 24 - There are moments in life when we feel sad and hopeless. As we walk with Christ, our reflection needs to be more on what Christ has said and less on what we feel. Join Pastor G as he strengthens the church to seek the true Counselor.

We're back for Season 6 of Hello Universe!

Hopelessness can feel like a storm that never ends. But hope is not denial—it's choosing to trust God's promises even when life feels impossible. In this episode, Jeanith unpacks what it means to choose hope when everything around you screams despair. You'll discover how hope shifts your perspective, renews your strength, and points others to Jesus. In this episode, you'll learn: The lies that steal our hope (and the truths that replace them) Why hope is an anchor rooted in God's Word (Romans 15:13, Jeremiah 29:11, Isaiah 40:31) Practical ways to choose hope daily—even when it's hard Resources:

We're so glad you are here! Thanks for checking out Sunday's message!-- SUNDAY'S NOTES --Pro. 13:12 Hope deferred makes the heart sick… ( Act 27:20 When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days and the storm continued raging, we finally gave up all hope of being saved) (Zero expectation that this situation would get better, and great expectation they were fixin to die!)PAUL WAS HOPELESS!I believe that since Paul was human, He took His eyes off of the promise God had given him, let the enemys voice influence his faith and gave up.Have you heard that enemy voice whisper to you? THIS IS THE END…Its Over?They wont ever serve JesusYou will never get a better or another JobYou wont ever walk in freedom from this substanceFear and Anxiety will always control you!Your marriage wont surviveYour pain will never subsideYour ship is gonna sink and you gonna die!If we continue to let this voice whisper, we too will become HOPELESS! Jonah was running away from God, Paul was running towards God!Both men encountered a terrible storm:Hope from the root-Tikvaw To fasten/tie/attach Now we know from what the bible says Heb. 6:19 that Jesus is our hope and… that Jesus is our HopeHope is an attachment or tying yourself to Jesus in real everyday relationship. This attachment births in your heart an expectation of something good that you cant see yet.If you need hope, You fasten yourself to Jesus.He is the only source of Hope that will never let you down.Talk about rooted! Now This is what you need to know about fastening to Jesus, Its Surrender!, Its giving control of your life to Him, You go where He goes, You do what He does… knowing that He Loves you like crazy and has your best interest at heart, If He takes you into a storm he is working it for your good ☺…It takes FAITH to trust Him when You cant see the end of the storm!Takeaway:There are no deeper roots/no greaterBut watch this…If true hope is being tied tight to Jesus, to become HOPE-LESS means that you have become unattached to that very same hope.We see this in Both Jonah and Paul, they were both hopeless because either in their thought process or actions they became unattached to the source of Hope! GOOD NEWS ALERT!They each survived a terrible storm/a hopeless situation and went on to fulfill Gods call on their lives!HOW? What was the common denominator that restored their hope?Jonah 2:6,7 Jonah 2:6,7 7 “When my life was ebbing away(in hopelessness),    I remembered you, Lord,and my prayer rose to you,    to your holy temple.6 and you, Lord my God,    brought my life up from the pit.I cried out to the Lord in my affliction, from sheol(the grave)I was a goner, but I repented(re-attached) myself to God, he heard me- delivered me and restored my hope!God met Paul in the belly of a great ship—Quiet possibly the darkest most hopeless night of his life, hungry/wet/seasick/…HOW DID HE OVERCOME THIS? AND an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve(A physical representation of Jesus) stood beside me 24 and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; You are going to make it through…In a moment(with one encounter) He went from Hopeless to rooted in Hope for himself and those around him!In both cases Hope returned when they re-attached themselves with expectancy to God through FAITH!Both men found out that: Takeaway:Hope is not found in the absence of Storms but in Jesus who may not calm the storm but will walk with us through our darkest hour, through our wildest storms.Jesus will love you even in the midst of your mess, even if you created the mess-- but He is committed to doing whatever it takes to not leave you there in a hopeless situation! If we will Root down into Jesus… An expectancy will sprout and begin to grow whispering … *The storm wont last forever, *Change is coming, *That you won't always be stuck on a ship that is about to sink*You wont always be imprisoned in something that your disobedience producedYou wont always be in bondage to hurts, habits, Anxieties, fears, disappointments!Philippians 1:6 He(Jesus) who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete it! Here is a scripture you probably don't know but its found in Romans 8:28 He works all things for good…to those who are attached to Him! Even in a stormJer. 29:11  For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.That word “expected” is Tikvaw(Hope that comes from attachment)The purpose of your storms is Tikvaw— To bring you to a place of Surrender and Trust as you attach yourself to Jesus!

From Hopeless to Heartburn | Luke 24:13-35 | Heston Blake

Today on Hooked on Sports:John discusses his biggest takeaways from Week 2 of the NFL season, including the struggles for Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs as they start 0-2, the wild back-and-forth NFC East shootout between the Giants and Cowboys, Joe Burrow's devastating toe injury that could derail the Bengals season, the Dolphins losing in embarrassing fashion again as calls grow for regime change in Miami.Then, he highlights things he noticed in Week 3 of college football and some big games ahead in Week 4, and the National League Wild Card race where the Mets are trying to avoid missing the playoffs entirely after starting 45-24.

Dawson is wrapping up his work on the A.I. Brooks documentary just as A.I. Brooks is wrapping up his affairs on earth, furtively hiding pills and getting Dawson to sign paperwork without giving him time to read it. Dawson might not have taken the time anyway, since he's focused on a big milestone with Gretchen: meeting her friends. Going out to a show with a couple of Gretchen's college friends throws their age difference into stark relief, as does Gretchen talking about him like he's less of a boyfriend and more of a boyfriend-shaped body pillow. Meanwhile, Joey is trying to barter a couple of precious weekend nights off work at the Yacht Club by making Drue's date with Anna, daughter to the Club board president, a double. Mrs. Valentine makes it clear she'll only grant the time off if Drue's date Anna has a great time, so both Joey and Pacey have to run interference to draw attention away from Drue's stank attitude. Tobey tries to take Jen's advice by being friends with Jack, suggesting that Jack join him tutoring middle school kids, which is extremely cute...at first.

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Fearless Faith: Trusting Jesus in Life's Most Hopeless Moments, Part 2Series: Unveiled Scripture: Mark 5:21–43, Mark 6:1–6 Episode: 1427 Scripture Summary: In Mark 5:21–43, Jesus performs two powerful miracles that highlight His compassion and authority over life and death. First, Jairus, a synagogue leader, begs Jesus to heal his dying daughter. On the way, a woman with a 12-year bleeding condition touches Jesus' cloak in faith and is immediately healed. Jesus acknowledges her faith publicly, calling her "daughter." Meanwhile, Jairus's daughter dies, but Jesus tells him, “Don't be afraid; just believe.” Jesus goes to the house, takes the girl by the hand, and raises her from the dead, stunning everyone present. In Mark 6:1–6, Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth, where He is met with skepticism and unbelief. Though they are astonished at His wisdom and miracles, the locals reject Him because of His familiar background. As a result, Jesus performs only a few healings and is amazed at their lack of faith.

Story of the Week (DR):Lachlan Murdoch Secures Control of Fox and News Corp, Ending Succession FightLachlan Murdoch is confirmed as Rupert Murdoch's successor, gaining control over the family's media empire (which includes Fox Corporation and News Corp). Prudence MacLeod, Elisabeth Murdoch, and James Murdoch—three of Rupert's older children—will each receive about US$1.1 billion. They will sell their holdings in Fox and News Corp and give up beneficial/trust rights in those companies.Apart from full siblings Elisabeth and James Murdoch, Lachlan has three half-siblings, an elder half-sister Prudence, and two younger sisters by his father's third marriage, Grace and Chloe. A new family trust will be set up benefiting Lachlan and Rupert's younger daughters, Grace and Chloe. That trust will hold controlling voting shares in Fox and News Corp. The three older siblings will no longer be beneficiaries in the trust(s) connected to Fox and News Corp. They also give up any voting rights held via those trusts. Rupert Murdoch, despite handing over the control structure, retains a role as Chairman Emeritus. The new trust arrangement secures Lachlan's control over the companies through 2050. One of Rupert Murdoch's concerns was the possibility that the more moderate siblings (Prudence, Elisabeth, James) could shift the political or editorial leanings of Fox/News Corp after he's gone. The new structure is designed to prevent that.Senators Call for Hearings About JPMorgan's Ties to Jeffrey EpsteinDemocrats want CEO Jamie Dimon to testify about keeping Epstein as a client until 2013Epstein had dozens of accounts at JPMorgan's private bank and communicated often with bank executives, connecting them to his wealthy contacts, ties The Wall Street Journal first reported in 2023 to be deeper than understood. Epstein was a JPMorgan client before and after he was convicted of soliciting a minor for prostitution in 2008 and forced to register as a sex offender.Trump Epstein letter and drawing from ‘birthday book' releasedEric Trump removed from the ALT5 board of directors after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLCTrump's second son, Eric Trump, was removed from the ALT5 board of directors. According to the SEC filing, the change was made after discussion with the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC, therefore, the change was in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.It is still unclear which of the Nasdaq rules caused Eric Trump to be removed. The closest reason would be the rule that requires a majority of board members at listed companies to be independent. However, if Trump didn't qualify as independent, other members would have also been removed, which was not the case.after discussion with The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC … and in order to comply with Nasdaq's listing rules.” He is now a board observer: While he was originally announced as a full board member, Eric Trump has been reassigned to observer status — meaning he can attend meetings but doesn't have voting power.Larry Ellison's $100 billion day reminds us why David Ellison could buy ParamountLarry Ellison, co-founder of Oracle, recently saw his net worth jump by around US$100 billion in a single day due to a spike in Oracle's stock.Larry's wealth was a key factor enabling his son, David Ellison, to acquire Paramount.David Ellison's position is less pressured because his father's vast wealth gives him a kind of “cushion” — meaning that even if some deals don't go well, he can withstand the backlash more than many media owners could.Paramount Skydance Prepares Ellison-Backed Bid for Warner Bros. DiscoveryThe majority of the planned bid for Warner will be made up of cashA Key to Larry Ellison's Wealth Creation: Years of Oracle Stock BuybacksOracle has used aggressive stock buybacks over the past 15 years as a major lever to boost shareholder value—and especially to amplify Larry Ellison's personal wealth. Oracle has aggressively repurchased its own shares over roughly the last 15 years — reducing its outstanding share count by nearly 45%. Because Larry Ellison held roughly the same number of shares, his ownership percentage rose from ~23% to around 41% without buying more stock.This buyback strategy significantly boosted the value of Ellison's stake — Barron's estimates that without the buybacks, his stake might have been worth only $215 billion instead of the current ~$387 billion.Ellison didn't need to purchase additional Oracle shares to increase the value of his investment—he benefited from the shrinking pool of shares and the company's rising valuation.Vanguard Tries To Get Investors Interested In Proxy Voting MMVanguard's trying to get millions of its fund investors involved in big corporate decisions—but so far, most people are still tuning out. That's left folks wondering who really holds sway at America's largest companies.Vanguard's campaign faces a classic case of 'rational apathy', where most index fund investors skip shareholder votes because it feels like a hassle with little impact on their own wallets.Even though Vanguard's Voting Choice program doubled participation to 82,000 people and tripled the dollar value voted to $9 billion, that's tiny compared to the company's 50 million investors and $11 trillion in assets.Studies from Duke, Florida, and Columbia universities show just how overwhelming the sheer number of ballot measures can be—making most people pick broad voting policies, like mainstream or anti-ESG, instead of poring over each decision.While reformers hope wider voting can democratize the system, the early results point the other way: individuals often skip votes or side with management, letting company leaders keep their grip. In fact, last year's Tesla shareholder votes would have failed if Vanguard's index funds had voted like individuals.Financial Services Committee Examines the Shareholder Proposal Process and Proxy Advisory FirmsOn the Impact of Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank on Annual Proxy Statements: “Together, these two laws [Sarbanes-Oxley and Dodd-Frank] have driven up costs, increased the length and complexity of proxy statements, expanded the disclosure and oversight process, and fundamentally changed much of the shareholder access to the proxy system,” said Chairman Hill.French Hill: founder, Chair, and CEO of Delta Trust & Banking Corporation from 1999 until 2014. A ninth-generation Arkansan, Hill is a direct descendent of slave plantation owner Creed Taylor who was among the wealthiest 1% of Americans in 1860.On the Cost of Unnecessary and Irrelevant Shareholder Proposals: “Under this flawed system, companies are too often forced to waste valuable time and resources fighting proposals that are irrelevant to the company's bottom line, hurting investors and workers alike,” said Capital Markets Subcommittee Chair Ann Wagner (MO-02)."Allowing a small group of left-wing activists to hijack the proxy proposal process to push social, environmental, DEI, or political objectives totally unrelated to the core business of a company does not advance the cause of capitalism. It undermines capitalism. It corrupts capitalism because it results in the misallocation of resources of the company. It undermines the profitability of the company. It hurts the shareholders,” stated Financial Institutions Subcommittee Chair Rep. Andy Barr (KY-06).Barr believes that abortion should be illegal, including in cases of rape and incestBarr, who's now running for Mitch McConnell's Senate seat, made it clear that he and Musk are joined at the hip. A few days after the “town hall” Barr released a photo of himself standing beside a shiny new Tesla, with a big smile, a thumbs-up, and the caption “Elon Musk sure knows what he's doing!”On How Proxy Advisory Firms Can Deter Businesses from Joining Public Markets: “For many small and medium private companies considering an IPO, the decision often comes down to whether the benefits of accessing public markets outweigh the risk of compliance. But as we have seen in recent years, the shareholder proposal process can be dominated by a small group of activist investors advancing niche political agendas that have little to do with long term value creation. At the same time, proxy advisory firms wield outsized influence over voting outcomes, and [are] operating with limited transparency and potential conflicts of interest. So together, these dynamics can create an uncertainty and additional cost that make public markets less attractive,” declared House Small Business Committee Chairman Roger Williams (TX-25).Williams was listed as the 22nd wealthiest member of Congress in 2018. Williams inherited the family's automobile dealership from his father, who founded the business in 1939.During the COVID-19 pandemic, Williams's Chrysler Dodge Jeep dealership in Weatherford, Texas, received a loan of between $1 million and $2 million as part of the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP);[28][29] the loan was later forgivenGoodliest of the Week (MM/DR):DR: Boone Electric Co-op members can cast drive-thru votes for directorsDR: New Mexico will be the first state to make child care free DR MMThe program, which will start in November and is expected to save families $12,000 per child annually, is available to all residents regardless of income.

If this pay package passes, he will have as much worth as ONE QUARTER of EVERYONE UNDER 40 - 166 million people in the US. We're convinced because he bought a car company and built some rockets using US subsidies he's singular. Combine that with the fact that he's one of 4 billionaire white men who control social media, which tells us EVERY DAY our life sucks and the reason is “the other side” and capitalism support is at a long term low, and people feel there are NO OTHER OPTIONS but to assassinate someone.Men - more than 99% of political violence is committed by men. Out of nearly 10,000 global public companies, 93% are lead by men. 73% of all country level parliamentary seats are male. You know who doesn't shoot people, engage in constant chest thumping, gun toting nationalism? Women. Step aside boys - investors, your opportunity is now, you get to vote on directors.

Gospel Daily with Josh Weidmann Fearless Faith: Trusting Jesus in Life's Most Hopeless Moments, Part 1 Series: Unveiled Scripture: Mark 5:21–43, Mark 6:1–6 Episode: 1426 Scripture Summary: In Mark 5:21–43, Jesus performs two powerful miracles that highlight His compassion and authority over life and death. First, Jairus, a synagogue leader, begs Jesus to heal his dying daughter. On the way, a woman with a 12-year bleeding condition touches Jesus' cloak in faith and is immediately healed. Jesus acknowledges her faith publicly, calling her "daughter." Meanwhile, Jairus's daughter dies, but Jesus tells him, “Don't be afraid; just believe.” Jesus goes to the house, takes the girl by the hand, and raises her from the dead, stunning everyone present. In Mark 6:1–6, Jesus returns to His hometown of Nazareth, where He is met with skepticism and unbelief. Though they are astonished at His wisdom and miracles, the locals reject Him because of His familiar background. As a result, Jesus performs only a few healings and is amazed at their lack of faith.

Jen Psaki addresses the horrific shooting at a Catholic school in Minneapolis and the shocking gun statistics in the United States that "should make everyone angry." Psaki points to new gun legislation that passed under the Biden administration after a mass shooting at a supermarket, and reminds viewers that anger can turn into activism, activism can turn into pressure, and pressure can change laws.Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey talks with Jen Psaki about the horrific shooting at Annunciation Catholic School that has left his community in shock and grief. Frey calls for Americans to recognize the victims of today's shooting not as somebody else's kids, "think about them as your own," and encourages a loving perspective but also real action to address America's gun problem. The Trump administration is attempting to remove CDC Director Susan Monarez from her position after only two weeks in the Trump-appointed, Republican Senate-confirmed job. The conflict over Monarez's resistance to Trump HHS Secretary Robert F.

The waiting, the negative tests, and the constant pressure can leave you feeling stuck in fear instead of faith.
