BREAKING: Trump demands Ilhan Omar resign for allegedly using a “fake name.”
Any comment, JD Vance? Or should I call you James David Vance? J.D. Hamel? James David Hamel? James Donald Bowman?
Funny how names only matter when you’re attacking immigrants.

Cowboys had Zach Martin , Tyron smith and Travis Frederick. 3 hall of famers and didn’t make it to one Super Bowl or championship game . The fact eagles was able to make to 2 Super Bowls with their offensive line at their peak and win one. Mission accomplished

Josh Allen does the Tush Push: “Look how tough he is! What a gamer!”
Jalen Hurts does the Tush Push: “ It’s not a football play and it needs to be banned and that’s all he’s good at anyway.”

Only in America can peacefully protesting get you arrested, but a seven-hour gang rape gets you a homework assignment. What the fuck are we doing?!

Allow me to get ahead of the narrative this week… In Justin Herbert’s defense, you can’t expect him to win a game where his defense only forces 5 turnovers.

A 20-year-old Cornell student says she went to the Chi Phi fraternity house in October 2024, was pressured into taking what she was told was ketamine, and was then sexually assaulted by seven fraternity members over several hours.
And this may be the most horrifying detail:
According to her lawsuit, at about 1:42 a.m. one of the men allegedly posted “free pussy” upstairs in a Snapchat group called “Chi Phi Actives” — a group chat for members of the fraternity.
Other men allegedly came into the room afterward while she tried to cover her naked body with the bedsheets.
She later reported what happened to Cornell police.
Cornell conducted an internal investigation involving at least 12 hearings.
The result?
According to her attorney, only TWO of the seven accused men were expelled.
Others reportedly received lesser sanctions including suspensions, educational workshops — and essays.
Yes. Essays.
The lawsuit says accused students were even permitted to submit essays in an effort to reduce their disciplinary punishment.
No one was criminally charged. Prosecutors say they did not believe they had sufficient evidence to bring charges.
Cornell’s Chi Phi chapter remains barred from campus, although Cornell has not said its national charter was permanently revoked.
And the young woman?
She left Cornell.
So according to this lawsuit, a woman says she was drugged and sexually assaulted for hours while someone advertised “free pussy upstairs” to a fraternity Snapchat group — and five of the seven men she accused apparently avoided expulsion.
If Cornell’s disciplinary response happened as her attorney describes it, the university has some extraordinary explaining to do.

The White House media ban
reminds me of the Teddy Roosevelt quote:
“To announce that there must be no criticism of the President, or that we are to stand by the President, right or wrong, is not only unpatriotic and servile, but is morally treasonable to the American public.”

Truly stunned to have seen such a one sided conversation about a complex issue on a show that had the time to do this topic justice. No matter which side of this you’re on, it’s embarrassing that one of the sport’s leading voices presented only one perspective
Just curious, @ESPNPR: Will Disney/ESPN afford @ChrisMurphyCT equal time on @CollegeGameDay? I know fair and balanced airtime is a big concern for @BrendanCarrFCC

Since you weren’t even born yet, I’m going to answer in good faith:
9/11 was America’s collective loss of innocence. In the decades prior, we’d won the Cold War by outspending the Soviets. We were the sole remaining superpower, and we were in a period of peace and economic prosperity.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, we suffered a suicide attack with a higher death toll than Pearl Harbor. It struck a city on the US mainland, the first attack of that scale to hit CONUS since the Civil War.
In a violent flash, and on live television, our collective illusions of safety, security, and peace disappeared. For most Americans, it was the first time we ever had to contend with that scale of horror, and what it implied about the fragility of our way of life.
It was simultaneously sobering and terrifying. The American response was to launch two wars, and to restructure domestic life around the Government’s presumed duty to spy on everyone, so nothing like it could ever happen again.
I am not being hyperbolic when I say the America we grew up in—imagined or not—vanished on 9/11.
What you’re calling a “worshipful attitude” is a mix of reverence for the dead, and mourning for the loss of what existed before.

This is not a rabbit hole the umpires want to enter.
https://teapaw.org/t.co/lZgAnDLl8A Thinking of Sonny Gray, CC Sabathia and the MANY pitchers who have worn their hat differently. And what to say of socks, pant length, shoes, belts? Let the players and MLB be the fashion police.
