👨🏽‍🦲ABOUT ME
It's your man, Jeff Thornton, and I'm ready to take you on a journey through my life!
I was born on Holloman Air Force Base, NM, and raised in the beautiful city of Alamogordo, NM.
Growing up as the youngest of six kids, you'd think I'd have it easy, right?
WRONG.
My siblings were always keeping me on my toes, and I wouldn't have had it any other way.
Family has always been my number one priority, and I owe that to my parents, Captain Robert and Dina Thornton, for instilling those values in me from a young age.
Now, let's talk about my love for sports.
From football to hockey, I've always been a natural athlete.
I was even the “Team Captain” for my high school football team, which I'm still proud of to this day.
But let's be real, sports are great and all, but nothing compares to the rush of being transported to a whole new world through video games.
When I was three years old, my sisters and I decided to be helpful and clean our brothers' Nintendo console.
Sounds like a good idea, right
Well, we used WATER.
Needless to say, we destroyed the whole thing.
But that moment taught me something invaluable - gaming is more than just playing a game, it's about bonding with your loved ones over a shared experience.
Video games have been a constant throughout my life, bringing my family together and creating memories that will last a lifetime.
And that's why I'm still a gamer to this day.
It's not just about playing a character in a digital world, it's about the relationships and the community that gaming creates.
So, to all the gamers out there, let's embrace our inner nerd and never let go of that youthful spirit that makes us who we are.
Thanks for tuning in, and much love to you!
- Jeff Thornton, Owner + CEO of QSN

They called him the greatest American football player to never play a down after both the Cowboys and the Broncos made multi million dollar offers to bring him to the NFL. When the Broncos offered him 10 mill in 2003 he was 280 pounds and running a sub 4.5s 40.

@JumboSeventyNine 6 месяцев назад

One of the most surreal experiences of my life was almost literally bumping into him in Cardiff Sainsburys. 6ft4 and 265lbs don't really do justice to how imposing the guy was. Its ridiculous how much pace he had given the sheer bulk he had to shift downfield. There is a clip somewhere of him being tackled by the French team and it pretty much took the whole team to slow the guy down.

@PowhiroMus 6 месяцев назад

I'm a Kiwi so I am biased, and New Zealand has had some very great rugby union players but no-one betters Jonah, the combination of skills, good hands and knowing where to be, "I'll outstep them", or "I'll outrun them" or "stuff it, I'll go over them". You should know that Jonah died young and battled severe kidney disease most of the time in your videos that crippled the great man, killed him. I've met Jonah, he lived nearby, a really nice, genuine, humble man who loved his family but put him on a rugby field and it unleashed the beast. He was of Tongan ethnicity, a warrior people who didn't get along with other Island peoples, like Fijians or Samoans, so when you see Jonah tossing aside Fijians, hard strong, fast rugby players, hard tacklers, that is personal. From what I understand, Jonah always backed himself, had the determination, give me the ball and I will score or die trying! My best, favourite recollection is of Jonah going through 90% of the French international side who were in the top 4 in the World's rugby, 5 players trying to bring him down when he scored! Who else could do that! You mentioned his knees pumping! Tree trunks! He terrified tacklers who had to bring him down, he had balance and power as well as speed so he would destroy the opposition by running around them or running through them. If you hung on to him he'd drag you or 4 others. Even when kidney disease slowed him, opposition sides used to dedicate 3 players to stop him which meant the other 14 All Blacks could run riot. As they say, the good die young and Jonah was the best! RIP Jonah I wish NZ Rugby had another Jonah but all I can see is the awesome, fast powerful Portia playing for the women and stamping her mark like Jonah did. Jonah didn't scrummage for the ball but Portia does and then she is off to score, impolitely if anyone tries to stop her. Maybe impolite is the wrong word when it involves a push to the face and being tossed away like Jonah used to do to Fiji's best. Look her up, Portia Woodman Wickcliffe.. Nice lady until she dresses in black and gets the determined fierce look and growls. She scares me!.

@QSNgg 6 месяцев назад

RIP Jonah Lomu. The hakas at his funeral were extremely moving. My memory goes back a long way (I am 75) and, in my opinion, the greatest rugby match of all time was in 1973 at Cardiff Arms Park between the Barbarians and New Zealand and in the first few minutes the greatest try of all time was scored by the greatest player of all time (as voted many times in many polls of top players), namely Gareth Edwards. This try was truly sensational but so was the rest of the match which was populated by many rugby legends on both teams.

A good Jonah story: The All Blacks were playing England and at half time they were leading 40 - 0. During the break, the rest of the team decided to go to the pub, and asked Jonah to play the second half by himself, he was OK with that. After the game he showed up at the pub and one of his team mates asked him what the final score was. 80 - 3 was his answer. The team were outraged..."how could you let them score 3 points"" they yelled. "Sorry boys, I got sent off with 10 minutes to go, and they kicked a penalty".

@stephenking5061 6 месяцев назад

This is a very entertaining story, but not true unfortunately. This is a joke story about Jonah that was made up and delivered in an after-dinner speech by Jonah’s then agent, Phil Kingsley-Jones (who was a brilliant raconteur in his time). The two points that Phil was making in his story was that Jonah was so great that he was probably good enough to hold off an entire team like England on his own and also that England were so useless and defensive that they would only score after he was sent off and even then they would only score a penalty kick. Jonah was a true legend and a GOAT, but this story is just that - a legend.

Knowing that you start to question wtf peak performance means because he was already a super human. To put it in perspective Usain bolt ran 100m in 9.58sec, Lomu did it in 10.7sec while being 60 to 80lbs heavier. Imagine trying to tackle a brick wall that run at 22mph 🤕 Some people will argue that he is not the goat of rugby and I get that, but he is one of the few guys that the name means more than just rugby, like Kobe means more than basketball to me, and for that reason he is the goat for me.

He was a absolute man mountain and joy to watch as the opposition tried to take him down he just swatted them off, and as for him running ball in hand to the try line, it looked effortless for him, yet the opposition were running as hard as they could but to no avail, and if they did manage to get a hold on him he would just take them over the line with him. You just knew if your team were playing the All Blacks or The Barbarians and Lomu was playing you were in for great match.

The problem with Lomu was that because he was such a “feared” player he almost never got the chance to play to his full potential because all the attention was always on him, teams always had 2 or 3 players almost solely focusing on him, stopping him from being able to pick up speed if he got the ball

When I was 12 I was lucky enough to have dinner with him and his cousins right at the height of his career, they all ate two roast chickens each, he was so big had to crouch under the doors! He was a really lovely guy, we were shy so he deliberately came and hung out with us, asked us if we had Jonah Lomu Rugby on Playstation, which we didn't haha. My friend had one of those "Take me to your dealer" posters with a marijuana smoking alien, and Jonah told us about one he had with a Lion with a gun in its face asking "do you want a shotty?". It took me about another decade to figure out what he was talking about. (I think americans call this a blowback). The thing that was so random, I was at a party and someone asked if I wanted a shotgun, and then I clicked after all those years; that's what he meant! 🤣😂

As a French man, I remember Lomu running through most of the French team, knocking all of them over, with the commentator saying "and he's not being hit by big men, he's being hit by huge men". He scored, of course. Legend.

I went to church with Jonah for a few years before he passed. My sister and I were moving and didn't need some bookcases anymore so he came to pick them up for his wife's non-profit. The moving guys were so awestruck and he was so kind to them. When he passed away, my boss's husband was his coach in high school. He had been playing in the under 16's rugby. They tried changing some rules, but didn't realise that it wouldn't affect him because he was still in the same age group. LOL. He freaked everyone out because of his size.

@QSNgg 2 месяца назад

I went with my younger son to the 2015 Rugby World Cup Final between New Zealand and Australia. Before the game, Jonah Lomu was in one of the bars, chatting and having his photo taken with the fans. Very modest guy. Sadly he died not long afterwards, his kidney condition probably exacerbated by the long flight back to New Zealand..

When he was on the scene he was just on another level way ahead of his peers. When he came up agains south Africa that's when we saw jonah first time looking human. Will always be remembered the gentle giant. So that move they do where the fly half dummy center and the lomu will cut inside was the move. I only saw him once live what scene that was it was super 12 back then when he played for Auckland blues against the cats.

It’s his size power and speed. He was a winger like a wide receiver. That’s why his opposite looks small, cause wingers are made for speed. This man would dwarf a cornerback, and would truck them to. 6ft 5, 270 pounds, 4.24 sec 40 yard dash, 10.5 sec 100 metres

"Is that the Barbarians?" No, I'm guessing here but I think it's the Blues. The Barbarians wear black and white hooped jerseys. The players choose what their soxs from any club that they have played for. As a tribute they often wear sox from their schooldays. As an organization they are very unique to rugby. They are a professional rugby club without a 'permanent' roster or coaches. What they do is arrange a fixture with a National team. Then they invite players/coaches from around the world to play for them in that one fixture. It's kind of an all star team. Their win/loss record isn't very good due to the fact that they only play the best teams and they have only one week to come together as a team. Due to the fact that each Barbarian team has no past or future together the play a very entertaining and free wheeling style. You should check them out.
