Your response to a challenge defines you more than the challenge itself.

@AndrewBrandt What would happen if: 1) Conferences took control of regulating themselves instead of kicking it 'up' to NCAA level. 2) Gambling platforms required athletes/team/sport officials have their wagers reviewed before accepting.

@ScottDochterman It sounds like what the judge is describing is known in common parlance as 'penalty' or 'consequence.' Sorsby “will suffer a probable, imminent and irreparable injury if this Court does not issue this temporary injunction”

I know the Bears are moving forward with an Indiana site.
And I know they've struck out for public funding from Illinois...so far.
But hard to believe this is over.
Now they have a legitimate leverage play; we'll see where it goes.
Socialize cost; privatize profit.

Rep. Angie Craig admonishes Brooke Rollins: "Joe Biden is no longer the president. Mr. Trump is. Your party controls Congress. You own these numbers at this point. I'm sick of hearing you blame an administration from a year and half ago. You own every single bit of this."

If your candidate for governor didn’t win the GOP nomination tonight, you are welcome here. Iowans deserve a leader who lives in Iowa, who has worked for Iowans rather than for insiders, and someone that is committed to serving Iowa families. We already have more GOP donors than the GOP nominee. Join us. All Iowans - Democrats, Republicans and independents - are all welcome.

I need your help recalling some Hawkeye history…

SpaceX demanded 5x more for Starlink during live Iran operations. The Pentagon buckled - the drones needed it. The IPO roadshow starts June 8. Revenue from the war lands in the prospectus. The man who ran DOGE to cut waste extracted a war premium for his IPO filing.

You got me, I catered a holiday reception for my staff with campaign — not taxpayer — dollars! Now let's see your receipts. #ReleaseTheTab

If insurance companies can deny care and call it "medically unnecessary", why aren't they required to have malpractice insurance doe when they get it wrong and someone gets sicker or tragically dies ?

Back to Back Tournament Champions for @allineliteua Los Angeles 17u SoCal National. The team is loaded with talent, the work and sacrifices is paying off. Great work as we head to live period for in Atlanta, Georgia @RyanSilver1 @coachsmartin310 @pollonpreps @VikHoops14

Absolutely- he is the most capable, most listenable and most enjoyable play by play voice out there. He would make watching a car wash worthwhile sports and/or real world commentary.

I so admire @jasonbenetti, not just for his great skill as a broadcaster but for his generosity in so honestly and compellingly sharing his journey with cerebral palsy to encourage and educate others.

Cleese's 2nd observation, last paragraph here, is the fundamental insight to understanding every client relationship. Client's aren't making approval decisions as often as they are considering 'will this ruin every life I'm responsible for.'

Here are the two main ways this Atlantic story happened:

1. JD Vance or his staff leaked the story to Atlantic reporters, or

2. An Atlantic reporter was accidentally invited to a JD Vance Signal chat.

[Eric Van Fossen @Ericvanf]

@W_Drehs @EEpenesa @HawkeyeFootball @JaredDeVries95 @LeVarWoods Andre Tippet, Jared DeVries, Larry Station, Bob Sanders are among the legends who are both legendary AND under-rated. Isn't JD the all time B10 leader in TFL? (Definitely the all time Iowa sacker/TFL.)

Culver’s for everybody!

Gennings Dunker to Pittsburgh at 96. #Steelers fans are gonna love this dude and his mullet.

If there’s one thing Americans
like than football it’s 2nd guessing — ta-dah! The irresistible formula behind the 3 day, multi-network broadcasting mega-audience ‘show’ we know as The NFL Draft.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

There is no one way to the top.

I've worked with elite athletes who were more single minded and those that single minded drove them crazy and they needed a much more balanced life.

The commonality was: they figured out who they were, what mattered, and how it fit in their life

[Wayne Drehs @W_Drehs]

Super fun Mock NFL Draft Day with @UIOWA_SJMC @UISportRecMgmt and @TheDailyIowan. Student GMs made their picks on camera in studio, then faced questions from sportswriting students, who analyzed picks and wrote deadline pieces critiquing each move. Awesome idea @adamkempenaar!
