Important story that anyone and everyone should read.
The profile pic was a pretty girl. The DM seemed harmless - “hey.”. For Jordan DeMay, among a targeted group of teen boys, often high school athletes, this was danger coming in the middle of the night to his small, remote town.

Bruins trivia for the absolutely hopeless sickos: . On this day 20 years ago (the post-lockout summer), the Bruins had five players under contract. Three of those players were signed to NHL deals, two of them AHL. Can you name any of the players?.

Smart n’ sharp take here.
Yes, it's about trying to win. But for Penn State, reportedly spending $700,000 on Gavin McKenna is about way more than just trying to win the 2026 NCAA Title. My latest at Shap Shots.
