First Things First is basically the Fast and Furious of sports TV. It started as an innocent banter show and then a few years later somehow there’s breakdancers, a barbershop quartet, medieval trumpeters, and half of the cast being wheeled up in hospital beds.
seeing the world start to realize First Things First is the best show in the world is a beautiful thing

This is pure gold! Abdul El-Sayed trolling Trump and JD Vance after winning Michigan’s Senate race: “JD, habibi, there is this delicious irony in the fact that you’re constitutionally obligated to swear me in, in January.” “Donald, look, I know you struggle with my name, so after JD swears me in, you can just go on and call me Senator.”

Once Destiny got rid of the loop of “take gun from pvp into pve” and vise versa. The game was cooked.

Agree 💯. I’m enamored with him as a person and what his talent can do in this role. TE3 isn’t a depth position. He will play on 30% of downs, plus special teams. What an upgrade over Smythe who was ranked 133 of 142 TEs, with a PFF run block grade of 53.4 Roush is the best blocking TE in the draft. He will be light years better 13 personnel bully ball here we come.

We know he doesn’t need it that’s why it’s so fucking annoying to watch him do it for 99% of his NBA games.
SGA letting everyone know he doesn’t need free throws to score “I DON’T NEED IT”

Logan Jones 6’3”, 300 lbs - Converted defensive lineman - Unanimous All-American - 2× First-Team All-Big Ten - Rimington Trophy Winner (nation’s top center) - #9 on Bruce Feldman’s “Freaks List” - 695 lb squat (Iowa record) - 1.53 10-yard split (Iowa OL record) - 4.09 20-yard shuttle (would be fastest ever at Combine) ABSOLUTE BEAST. 🐻⬇️

Iowa Center Logan Jones (#65) is a name Bears fans are going to want to remember Converted defensive lineman 6'3 293 lbs Outland Trophy Watchlist #9 on Bruce Feldman's "Freak" List - 695 lb squat (Iowa record) - 1.53 10 yard split (Iowa OL Record) - 4.09 20 yard shuttle (Would be the fastest ever recorded at the combine) Right now he's winning with those physical traits but needs to clean up his technique, especially in pass pro. But the sky is the limit for the young man

Because he was drafted with the 57th overall pick, Logan Jones will receive a lifetime supply of ketchup from The Kraft Heinz Company. Jones didn't know the incentive of his draft slot until informed on a zoom minutes after being selected. "I love it! I'll take as much as I can get ... Let’s go ketchup!"

Ryan Poles obviously is committed to being “right” about Sweat, Dayo, Dexter, Turner, and Booker. Like it or not there is a ton of investment in those names. I’ve got my doubts but it’s clearly the mindset.

Dillon Thieneman was drafted in round 1 with pick 25 in the 2026 draft class. He scored a 9.72 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 40 out of 1391 SS from 1987 to 2026. ras.football/ras-information…
