Tonight is such a blowout so far that I wonder if it gives some Rs pause about redistricting in states that are still pondering it. They already needed to "stress-test" the districts (and they did in TX-NC-MO, I think, even considering tonight), but still.

For the record: The AI did update to accurately predict Man coverage right before the snap… Which is reading the D better than the Vikings QB can tonight.

😂😂 Richard Blumenthal has been in the Senate for 15 years and hasn’t shepherded a single substantive bill into law. Bipartisan legislation is hard, sure — but SCORE actually has a shot. SAFE, OTOH, is one of the most absurd pieces of legislation I’ve seen in years (& DOA).
Sen. Richard Blumenthal says the chances that the SCORE Act passes Congress by the mid-term elections next November is "zero." "The chances of passing the SAFE Act? Possible but uphill."

Diane Keaton, RIP Annie Hall will always be my favorite movie, with Godfather being a very close second. What a life. La Dee Da!

When 31 of 32 conferences agree on anything, Congress should probably pay attention. This is significant & flies in the face of @MariaCantwell's cynical effort to pit schools and conferences against one another. The appetite for a coherent national framework is clear.
Consensus has been built throughout Division 1.

In a new ad from the power conferences encouraging the passage of the SCORE Act, the leagues announce that they’ve added more than 1,700 new scholarships for women’s sports this year. The ad will run during games this weekend.
Ensure the continued support of women's & Olympic sports. Tell Congress to pass the SCORE Act → https://t.co/EQoqjD7191

🚨🚨THIS IS CRAZY🚨🚨 #Vikings kicker Will Reichard’s missed field goal today appears to have hit a camera cable and the refs somehow missed it. This should have been a re-kick & Reichard would’ve had a chance to kick it again. A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE ANGRY. https://t.co/W35SmtOPu5

Justin Jefferson after his second consecutive 120-yard receiving game: "Being doubled, being tripled, single coverage, it doesn't matter. And it doesn't matter who's throwing that ball, 18 is gonna go out there and make a play."

The 10 non-FBS conferences lobbying to amend the SCORE Act sent Congress a letter in support of its passing. The 10 reached an agreement with power leagues during meetings in Chicago last week over changes in the bill, as we wrote about in the below story https://t.co/3t6CCvTF4J
