/1🚨VICTORY — AFL just DEFEATED the @ACLU in a landmark immigration enforcement case. A Pennsylvania court THREW OUT the ACLU’s lawsuit attacking a local sheriff for working with ICE. Major victory for the rule of law and public safety.

My friend and I had PIP on at his house. Do you remember PIP? We had the game on in both the main box and the little box, and we kept freezing the little box at cool spots. We froze it right at Westbrook’s catch and left the TV on for hours just so we could look at it.
I remember watching this game live. The air yards on the throw by Kordell Stewart is all-time stuff. A truly epic sports moment.

This sucks man. We should be the squad down 2-0 to the Dodgers.

This is invaluable work from @NicholasMoreano. No fluff. Educating fans on this game we love while also showing us the personalities of these players we cheer.
Enter the film room with Bears' left tackle Theo Benedet. He breaks down Darnell Wright's impressive block in space to help D'Andre Swift gain 19 yards. Make sure to watch the full breakdown, which includes three more plays, on the @WatchMarquee app.

Scott Templeton by a country mile.
With all due respect to my four runners-up in the tweet above this one, my answer for the worst person on The Wire is Levy. @Ziggys_Duck @spiderstumbled @FlowsAndolini @BarbChairScott @evanFmoore

And an ethical reporter could still end up printing many of his serial killer stories playing things straight simply by taking McNulty at his word. A good reporter would eventually figure that out, but the net result to Baltimore wouldn't be much different. @evanFmoore

His abuse of his position doesn't do more damage to Baltimore than Carcetti, nor to any individual person like De'Londa. He doesn't kill anyone. He doesn't enable anyone to kill anyone. He doesn't have some awful ripple effect like Donnelly on Randy. @evanFmoore

Okay, I obviously considered Templeton. He sucks. And he offends us in a personal way as journalists. But I ultimately don't think that he tops any of the other five people in any of their categories. @evanFmoore

@Ziggys_Duck That said, the person with probably the greatest negative effect on The Wire's Baltimore is Maury Levy. Keeps Avon, Marlo & Prop Joe in business. Can be disbarred but not fired nor voted out. His impact is generational. https://t.co/7HcIXfQEHJ

A trailblazer turns 90 today. Caught up with Willie O'Ree as he marks a milestone birthday. Why he still matters to the NHL – and why he always will. https://t.co/KsloNie56O

“I just opened the door,” O’Ree said, but it's clear his legacy lives on as he celebrates a milestone birthday.

From the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on deployment of National Guard: "Political opposition is not rebellion."
#BREAKING The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals refuses to undo order blocking deployment of National Guard troops within Illinois. "We conclude that the district court's factual findings … were not clearly erroneous, and that the facts do not justify the President's actions."

I am all for an Illinois politician gambling with his own money for a change.
Pritzker took home the $1.4M in winnings after playing Blackjack at a Vegas casino. It was while on a vacation with his wife and friends, according to an aide. Adding: His campaign says he's donating the money. https://t.co/r8rli7wfoQ

Lovie Smith was the last Bears coach to beat the Saints. Smith lost his last game against the Saints in 2011 and then Trestman (0-2), Fox (0-1), Nagy (0-3) and Eberflus (0-1) went 0-7 combined.
The last time the Bears last beat the Saints: - Instagram didn't exist - The Blackberry was the top phone - Single Ladies was the No. 1 song - 3 current players were in the NFL In other words, it's been a long time. https://t.co/b2Fu6br6Ww
