Comebacks are entirely possible if you don’t play scared and the leader of your team hasn’t been MIA for months and is willing to play through a little pain.

THE DEFENDING CHAMPS COMPLETE THE COMEBACK VS. EGYPT 🤯

GAME OF THE TOURNAMENT SO FAR?

[The Juice @thejuiceisgood]

This. The American way is not “well the ruling was unjust but the just action is to just take the punishment.” This is why Europeans allow themselves to be put in jail for social media opinions.

[Peaky Barners @PeakyBarners]

I understand the USA-Mexico rivalry, but it’s also England. Fuck em. Great hate watch either way.

The best part of Erling Haaland scoring is that the celebration is just his teammates jumping on his back like a bunch of children as he marches around

VAR officials are instructed not to use slow-motion or frozen stills to judge intensity or intent. It looked like that happened in the Balogun incident from the video seen on broadcast.

Educated guess is that led to FIFA's decision here.

[Pardon My Take @PardonMyTake]

Build the statue of the flight attendant that wouldn’t let Baloguns mom on the flight

@Hayesfawcett3 There is no way he is good enough for either school to put up with that

Jeffrey Kessler might be the dumbest human alive. Read the room.

[Pete Thamel @PeteThamel]

Brendan Sorsby's attorney, Jeffrey Kessler, tells ESPN of the NFL's decision to not hold a supplemental draft: "It is a violation of the CBA and the law. We will pursue this immediately with the NFLPA."

[Jon Martin @jthomasmartin]

@PeteThamel NFL: “You sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation.”

Sorsby’s attorney: “Oh yeah?” *files more litigation*

This is my favorite tweet of all time

Here is the letter from the NFL’s Management Council to Brendan Sorsby:

Dear Mr. Sorsby:

We are in receipt of your Petition for Special Eligibility, dated June 16, 2026 (“Petition”).  As announced earlier today, the League has elected not to conduct a Supplemental Draft this year.

Under our Collective Bargaining Agreement, the League retains sole discretion to determine whether it is appropriate to conduct a Supplemental Draft in any given year. The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry. Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions—does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.

The sole reasons identified in your Petition for seeking entry into the Supplemental Draft are that you have been “declared ineligible” by the NCAA, have “exhausted all of [your] avenues to continue in the NCAA,” and “want to now play in the NFL.” The Petition provides no information regarding the basis for, or timing of, the NCAA’s decision. Public sources, however, indicate that in May 2026 the NCAA issued a determination declaring you permanently ineligible from participation in college athletics, based on a sustained pattern of improper gambling activity during your collegiate career at three different universities.

The League does not have the complete record of the NCAA’s investigation, and you did not provide any such materials with your Petition. Available information nonetheless indicates that, over the course of your collegiate career, you knowingly engaged in repeated and significant violations of NCAA rules designed to preserve the integrity of athletic competition. Reported conduct includes placing wagers on your own team and teammates and, to avoid detection, establishing or funding accounts in the names of intermediaries who placed bets on your behalf. There are also reports that you may have violated state criminal law.

Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.

As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.

Sincerely,
Lawrence P. Ferazani, Jr.

Claiming to care about the kid’s recovery for a football advantage… and then dumping the kid when it’s a headache.

Absolutely shameful behavior from Texas Tech.

[Barrett Sallee 🇺🇸 @BarrettSallee]

All that for Brendan Sorsby … who isn’t that great anyway. My goodness, Texas Tech.

[Peaky Barners @PeakyBarners]

But what about being there for your athletes?!?!

[On3 @On3]

BREAKING: QB Brendan Sorsby and Texas Tech are mutually parting ways, @PeteNakos reports.

Sorsby will not play College Football in 2026.

[Peaky Barners @PeakyBarners]

The best possible outcome of the Brendan Sorsby situation is they play him and go 12-0. The committee leaves them out and they claim a UCF-esque national title. They hang a banner. The February trial decimates the program and @BarstoolBigCat ends up buying the banner.

[Random SEC @therandomsec]

Someone said we need to send him to all sec stadiums for a night game in the fall and he’ll go back to Europe like the apostles spreading the good news 😭

[Peaky Barners @PeakyBarners]

Omar might have to go

[Ian Rapoport @RapSheet]

The #Steelers add to their QB room, selecting Penn St QB Drew Allar at No. 76.

Aaron Rodgers has not yet committed to returning. Pittsburgh is open to dealing Mason Rudolph, and Allar joins (for now) QB1 Will Howard.

[SportsTalkATL.com @SportsTalkATL]

I love the foul calls because you see the Knicks, who are horrendous at actual basketball, just foul bait the entire time

Refs will still probably call it a foul

Because they need this ass team to relevant

[Peter Schrager @PSchrags]

My annual plea to put the phone away and to just enjoy the NFL Draft.

I'm anti pick tipping, and it's got nothing to do with my employers.

Hear me out!

[Riggs @RiggsBarstool]

Such a ballsy shot. Closest of the day at the 12th & only the 3rd birdie. An iconic sucker pin but Rory takes it on & pulls it off. Pure theater watching this guy

[Peaky Barners @PeakyBarners]

I’m stuck between Hurley having to carry his nuts around in a wheelbarrow and him being objectively the biggest douche in CBB.

[E.A.🤴🏾 @crashoutking1]

this angle is crazy. Hurley is a physcopath lmaooo
