For anyone under 30, especially you dudes, I promise you there was a time when we had some speeches that made you incredibly be proud to be on the right side of history, fighting the real tyranny, to be American. https://t.co/VNFVFgMSYo

Unquestionably one of the best ideas I've seen in sports in some time.
Kalshi has filed forms to accept bets on who enters NCAA Transfer Portal. Documents say that Kalshi intends to offer the contracts possibly as soon as end of business on Wednesday.

First full marks to Overdrive, which has great chemistry. We competed against them when I worked with Bob McCown but I am legit happy for their success. Parallel thought: I believe Canada still remains a massive opportunity sector for sports podcasts based in Canada. The big
Overdrive (TSN) is #91 most popular podcast in Canada. Goes to show you how being #1 in the terrestrial ratings book doesn't mean anything in terms of actual audience anymore. 32 Thoughts (SN) is #26 which makes more sense as it is a digital native show. https://t.co/ceIBb51uxy

One day later: Gone from any news cycle, limited comments from the people charged to serve on behalf of us. This is where we are.
Was thinking about this. Chief of Staff says the VP has been a conspiracy theorist for a decade. Says it on the record. To a real-life reporter! There was a time that something like this would be a five-alarm news cycle. In our current climate? Same coverage as an NHL trade.

I will continue to say publicly that the people who understand the current political moment best in the United States are those who understand professional wrestling. And there are few people on that planet who understand pro wrestling better than Jim Cornette.
I don't think Mick Foley's on Twitter or I'd tag him but I want to state publicly that while I've always liked him, he has just become my favorite person in the world. I wish all the boys had his backbone and, more importantly, his morals.

I know this goes against everything as far as attempting to win every game but I would 100% tank Year 1 for JuJu Watkins if I were the @TempoBasketball management. I'd do the same for Sarah Strong too. These are transcendent players (assuming JuJu returns to full health) that

This is truly one of the best reported pieces I've ever read. Think about all the powerful people who enabled Epstein for him to become the monster he became.
Big new Jeffrey Epstein investigation just dropped: How he built his fortune based on scams and lies. New revelations about his ties to Clinton and Trump.
