@CelliniNick@karlravechespn That site was an enemy of ESPN’s for years. So the fact someone at the latter leak to anyone at the former is pretty wild. Discussed here:

I will instruct our intelligence to share with our partners the information we have regarding Russia’s new assistance to the Iranian regime. Since the beginning of July, we have recorded active Russian satellite surveillance of the Gulf states and U.S. military facilities located there. These images subsequently appear in Iran. At the same time, there is a clear correlation between Russia’s satellite imagery of these sites and Iranian strikes – both before the attacks, in preparation for them, and afterward, to assess the damage inflicted.
On July 19 and 20 alone, four air bases fell within the area of interest of Russian satellites – two in Bahrain, one in Jordan, and one in Kuwait. The purpose is clear. None of us in the world should turn a blind eye to one very simple fact: evil always seeks ways to make things worse and spread further. Russia must be stopped. This war must be stopped. Pressure on the aggressor must work.
From the evening address. (3/3)
I was in 2 different book stores in Denver this weekend and overheard customers asking for THE ODYSSEY in each. Christopher Nolan is not only keeping theaters alive but now bringing back reading classic lit! Not all heroes wear capes.
Warnock: "Look at this from a common sense perspective. I won two elections -- in '21 and '22. Our congressional delegation is majority Republican, so are you saying that on the same ballots that elected my Republican colleagues, their ballots are legitimate and the ballots that elected Ossoff and myself are illegitimate?"
This action by the US government to subpoena reporters for reporting legitimate news on security concerns about Air Force 1 should alarm every American.
“The appearance of federal law enforcement agents on the doorstep of news reporters should shock the conscience of any American who believes in the Constitution and the press freedom it protects,” said David McCraw, The Times’s top newsroom lawyer, in a statement on Friday evening.
🚨 The Utah Republican Party paid a firm $4.3 million to falsify the signatures of dead people.
The election fraud was conducted in an attempt to legalize gerrymandering in Utah.
Let’s be clear about what’s going on here: They knew this story would hit, may have even been the source. It’s an effort to intimidate people into thinking it’s too risky to work the polls, too risky to vote. Do not bend the knee here. If you haven’t already, register & volunteer
Rep. Byron Donalds R-FL still has not explained how he voted on the House floor in Feb. 2025 while he was in Los Angeles for the Bill Maher show. Someone voted for Donalds twice that day - another Florida Republican perhaps used his voting card?
John Calipari presented an interesting idea in conversation: *start* the basketball season with an SEC Tournament
- Every team plays at least 3 games.
- Final teams play 4 games.
- No postseason SEC tourney, no need for some to play "three games in a row" to reach NCAA tourney
🚨 🇺🇸JUST IN: Pete Hegseth canceled a troop deployment to Poland that was already happening.
The unit had cased their colors. The advance team was already on the ground.
The equipment was already there.
Then he pulled the plug. And he didn’t tell Congress. He didn’t tell Poland. The four-star general in charge of Europe pushed back. Hegseth did it anyway.
This came out Friday at a House hearing. The Republican chairman, Mike Rogers, told the Army Secretary to his face:
“We’re not happy. There’s been no statutory consultation with us.”
Rep. Don Bacon — also a Republican, a retired Air Force general — went sharper:
“Reprehensible. An embarrassment to our country.”
The Pentagon’s spokesman called the cancellation “not a last-minute decision.” The Army Secretary, under oath that same morning, said it happened “a couple days ago.”
Both can’t be true.
This is the third time in seven months Hegseth has pulled US troops from a NATO ally without telling Congress. Romania last fall. Germany two weeks ago. Poland this week.
Russia is watching. Poland got a phone call.
Big 12 has approved its private capital deal with RedBird Capital - the first such arrangement from a major NCAA conference.
Schools have a choice to opt in for ~$30M in capital and league gets at least a $12.5M infusion as part of a strategic partnership

Once again, there isn’t one Disney license - every single local station has one, and they all come up at different times times. There also has to be an evidentiary basis for an early review and any adverse decision would certainly be challenged in court
Fun fact.
In the Lord of the Rings films, most of the Riders of Rohan were actually women with fake beards because when the production put out a call for local experienced riders, a lot of women showed up with their own horses.
