It's hard to put into words what Gary Smith meant to so many sportswriters of my generation, but it's very easy to be moved by this obituary he wrote for his wife Sally, who clearly lived a wonderful life. https://t.co/7gWLsepVyA

Pretty telling that Fairshake is going after a Democrat who did not vote on the Clarity Act (because he’s no longer in the Senate), and not going after Republican Susan Collins, who voted against it.

Big crypto just dropping all remaining pretenses of being non-partisan.

Wright Thompson on why memories of his father make him defensive, and what that teaches about politics: "It is easier to change your opinion about facts than to give away a feeling that has been stripped from the facts. And so people will defend those feelings to the death."

@TheJimCornette @StaceyCornette @CornettePups I assume that, like with the buckaroos, tornado rules always apply

After the NBA smashed the Clippers, @PabloTorre was asked over and over, do you feel validated? He wanted to say no. But after growing up in a crumbling media environment, and after pouring so much into his podcast, he struggled to admit: yes, he did. https://t.co/YndBRG0Lq6

Hats off to a good man and a job well done @CuyahogaCounty Rick Manoloff, the best Law Director in the #LAND. Job well done. Last night, on his retirement day, this good man received the County Navigator Award for his incredible public service. A man for all seasons!

Congratulations. You’ve just given every potential juror in Massachusetts a reason to avoid jury duty. Stop investigating people who were simply being good citizens.

The Rooster: Multiple sources say that Amy Acton’s attacker is the brother of Andrew Havas, the pedophile lobbyist who resigned from Jon Husted’s Senate campaign in July.

Besides yet another instance of a USG employee hiding his employment while posting on social media, besides Rubio hiring him despite DeSantis firing him for good reason, also important to note that his qualifications to be "deputy director of policy planning" are literally zero.

Just my opinion, but I’m not sympathetic to this argument at all.

Sometimes you leave a company and your friends that stay behind get better benefits a year later. You don’t get to go back and get an extra 2% tacked onto your 401k.

The players got their chance to play college football and made enough out of it to garner NFL looks. Will those in favor of this move come back in a few years and rally in favor of extra years for the players who these 23 and 24 year old men steal snaps on tape from? Do those guys get a chance later? NONE of these fifth year guys should be playing, whether once on NFL rosters or not.

Rules change. Institutions adjust to the times. Sometimes you get a bad break. The so called advocates for these athletes are only setting them up for failure later.

And just so we’re clear, this same brand of thinking is why we are on the verge of a 24 team playoff that will cause a decrease in interest in the regular season. Nobody wants to say “you should have made more plays.” Or “you shouldn’t have lost that game”

Participation trophy culture has infected CFB from the highest levels down and we have nothing but a complete and total lack of leadership on many levels to blame for it.
