I’m not going to go back and forth with you (it’s football season for God’s sake!), but I can’t believe you’re actually denying this interaction so I’ll jog your memory:

August of 2016, during the Olympics, at the (now shuttered) Intercontinental hotel, a couple blocks from the Fox lot off Pico.

We had just finished a night show that no longer exists where (among other things) we debated the Summer Olympics (it was a bad segment because we didn’t have rights to the footage, so we could only show still pictures of what we were talking about) & went to have a drink/meal with a colleague who was on the show with us.

The exchange I discussed happened in the lobby bar, at a table with said colleague, and then after I said what I needed to say to to you I went outside and bummed a cigarette off a valet.

We haven’t spoken in person since.

You know as well as I do this is 100% true, and verifiable, by the colleague that was with us and/or our then bosses who contemporaneously heard the story.

We actually also had the same agent at the time, and you and I both know he heard the story and could confirm it as well.

So, I’ll pull a page out of your book; I’ll bet you $1,000,000 I’m telling the truth.

I assume you’ll pretend you never saw this tweet & continue the grift. And that’s cool, but we both know what the facts are.

Also, let this be a reminder that while you have found an amazing lane where you often are actually the smartest guy in the room, this ain’t that lane. So my advice would be to tread carefully.

Good news is it’s clearly not personal with Lamar and Bateman is just allergic to putting in the necessary work to build rapport with whoever is under center.

A soldier guarding the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier issued a verbal reprimand to a group of advisers and staffers with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth following a Veterans Day ceremony at Arlington National Cemetery. As the group broke from taking photos, a loud laugh could be heard, and the soldier guarding the tomb shouted: “All visitors will maintain an atmosphere of silence and respect at all times.”

Remember and honor Andrew Goodman, James Chaney and Michael Schwerner and the price they paid when they were murdered for voting rights in Mississippi, 1964:

[Mukhtar @I_amMukhtar]

The man who exposed Jimmy Savile, former detective and investigative journalist Mark Williams-Thomas, revealed in an article published in 2022 that he was trying to get another high-profile individual prosecuted for alleged child sexual abuse.

He said:

"There is one very significant person who I’ve done everything to try and get prosecuted because he is clearly a child sex offender.

"To date the CPS won’t prosecute. The police and I have tried really hard to get there.

"He will die in due course and then the floodgates will open in the same way they did with Savile. That’s not right. But justice takes many different forms."

Look at Lamar man… you’ll pay for this one of these days you bald bitch 😭😭

[Femi Devin Ayanbadejo Sr. @Obafemi30]

This is a wild visual. It sums up Lamar’s greatness compared to his peers & offensive line porosity in a way words cannot.

Remember the golden rule: every chart is a Lamar chart.
