What Caught Our Eye👀
STUMP STORY OF THE DAY✍️
Light Sports Night Leads To YouTube Throwbacks
Yesterday we had 6 games in the MLB and some Wimbledon. Some good games on but it’s nice to sometimes throw on some recent YouTube classics.
Some days it’s nice to throw on YouTube and watch some all-time classics. So that’s exactly what we did yesterday!
There was some Wimbledon on as well as some Baseball, but it’s never a wrong time to look at some recent throwbacks, here are three must (re)watches.
World Cup Final - Argentina vs France
The most recent World Cup final was one of the greatest of all time! It was Messi vs Mbappe and they gave us a final to remember! Mbappe had a hat trick and Messi had 2 goals himself! The game went into penalties. If you don’t know how it ended I won’t spoil it for you but here’s the link!

Carlos Alcaraz vs Novak Djokovic 2023 Wimbledon Final
Similarly to the World Cup final, this matchup featured one of the all-time greats up against the one people are claiming is ‘the next one up’. Djokovic was 49-1 all-time after winning the first set in a major. He won the first set. What happened next was historic! Check it out!

2019 Masters - Tiger Woods
Never a bad time to throw this on in the background! Tiger was done, finished, not supposed to win again. Yet it was a Sunday, he was in the final grouping, and we all know the rest! One of the greatest golf days in the history of the sport!

Quote of the Day
 | “Let the improvement of yourself keep you so busy that you have no other time to criticize others!“ Roy T. Bennett Look at how happy Roy looks in this picture, it’s probably because he focused on himself and not every else. Self improvement comes first, look inward and not outward. |
Song of the Day
 | 28 Zach Bryan Good tune off the new album. A little slow and sad-ish, so prepare for that. |
Glue Guy of the Day
Defined: Glue Guy (Noun, Verb, Adj., etc.) - a person, thing, idea, or thought that holds together the larger group. Not the star, not the main character, but a hard hat and lunch pale type who knows its role. The GLUE of the group.
 | “I know a guy” Guy Close Friend The guy who “knows” a guy is just a pure glue guy. Need to have him around. He knows a guy for everything. Absolutely essential piece of your friend circle. |
