•The U.S. Senate may hold a floor vote TODAY which would overturn a 20-year moratorium on sulfide-ore copper mining on 225,000 acres of Superior National Forest land in the watershed of the Boundary Waters Canoe Area (BWCA) Wilderness in northern Minnesota. The Boundary Waters is the most visited Wilderness in the United States. 

🛶 Enjoying the Minnesotan/Canadian wilderness by canoe or other lesser watercraft is one of our nations greatest available pastimes, and one I have personally enjoyed my entire life. We must protect these public lands from the rapacious capitalists threatening to turn them into a poisoned wasteland.

•This vote in Congress would open the door to copper mining at the headwaters of this entire ecosystem. This kind of mining produces toxic pollution, including acid runoff and heavy metals, that can contaminate nearby waters.

•The Boundary Waters supports a major outdoor economy that sustains thousands of jobs and generates over a billion dollars a year - built on clean water and intact public lands. But this vote would clear the way for toxic mining that puts all of that at risk. It would also set a dangerous precedent, making it easier to roll back protections for public lands across the country, including wilderness areas, national monuments, and national parks. 

•This is a defining moment. If you care about clean water, public lands, and protecting places we can’t replace, now is the time to speak up.
•Protect the Boundary Waters, and vote NO on House Joint Resolution 140. Let’s save this treasured place for all of us—forever. https://t.co/JhNAR6Za2O

🚨 HOLY CRAP! Newly-released surveillance video shows a high school principal in Oklahoma TACKLING a school shooter before he could open fire on kids

What a HERO!

Principal Kirk Moore RUSHED the shooter when he aimed at his first would-be victim, wresting the gun away from him.

Give this man an award. Absolute legend.

The attempted shooter at Pauls Valley High School is now being held on a $1 million bond.

BREAKING: #Packers fan Jada Smith says #Vikings Joshua Dobbs might be FAKING his alopecia. 🤯🤯🤯

Smith was asked what its like to see another person who suffers from alopecia overcome that obstacle like her.

Her response?

“It’s a great story, but to be completely honest I’m not buying it. Anyone can grab a razor and shave their head and say they have alopecia. I even tried to get Will to do that at one point but he never really supported me. All I’m saying is I want to see proof of his alopecia before I start giving out congratulations.”

Wow. 😳

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Matthew Perry’s passing is shocking and saddening. I’ll never forget the schoolyard games we used to play, and I know people around the world are never going to forget the joy he brought them. Thanks for all the laughs, Matthew. You were loved – and you will be missed.

Dads and 90s kids, here's a fact:

We had it so good with SportsCenter and we didn't know it.... How could we?

We didn't know what was on the horizon that would try to take it down: first, league passes and TiVo and DirecTV... then the Internet and social media and YouTube...

During that brief, bright spot in sports media in the 1990s, SportsCenter was the only way to get the day's highlights...

We had black and white photos and box scores and features in the newspaper...

We had brilliant writing and reporting and pictures in Sports Illustrated and Sporting News and ESPN: The Magazine...

But for the day's highlights...

To watch Ken Griffey Jr. make a diving catch or Jordan hit a game winner or Barry Sanders twirl through a defensive line...

If you didn't catch it live, the only way to see it was on SportsCenter (maybe your local news sports show - maybe)...

And into this void stepped Dan Patrick and Keith Olbermann and Stuart Scott and Rich Eisen and Craig Kilborn and Linda Cohn and Robin Roberts and crew...

And all the catch phrases every kid in high school and college would repeat: "cool as the other side of the pillow"... Jumanji... En Fuego....

We'd watch SportsCenter at night then again in the morning.

It was a monolith. You'd show up at school and you'd have the same frame of reference for the highlights you saw. It was a shared experience.

It was awesome. And even though the show still exists and works, it's not a cultural touchstone anymore... it can't be... not with every highlight available from 1,000 sources across social media instantly...

And there are bright spots to be sure... My man and Top 10 Randy (@RandyScottESPN) is terrific. So are plenty of others.

But classic SC, man. It was a shared experience. By everyone.

These kids don't know... Sitting there, retweeting highlights, sharing reels, scrolling their feeds... Doing the work to find what they like with no commentary or context.

Times change. I get it. And we always glorify what we grew up on. Maybe that's all this is.

Still, I miss Stu Scott. He ruled.

If you agree, share this and follow me @Jon_Finkel.

Boo-Yah!
