America, Texas, Texas Tech. In that order.

Great - Folarin Balogun just went from my favorite striker to being my favorite striker

Top class lad right there

We need that Texas Tech judge to free Balogun

We actually have a 2nd amendment guaranteeing the right to guns. That includes Baloguns.

JORGE POSADA: “I CAN’T WATCH TODAY’S BASEBALL.”

Yankees legend Jorge Posada, a 4-time World Series champion and one of the faces of the dynasty years, (The Core 4) did not hold back during his interview on Abriendo El Podcast.

Posada said today’s game has become too robotic, too obsessed with formulas, and too accepting of strikeouts.

“The baseball being played today is garbage,” Posada said.

He also pushed back hard on the analytics crowd trying to judge Derek Jeter’s defense strictly through modern numbers.

“You can’t judge Jeter through a computer.”

That line right there is pure old-school Yankees.

Posada came from an era where putting the ball in play mattered. Moving runners mattered. Taking pride in not striking out mattered. He said back then, striking out 100 times in a season felt like you were not doing your job.

Now? Guys can strike out constantly, hit 30 home runs, bat .202, and still get paid like stars.

His message was simple:

The game got smarter on paper, but dumber between the lines. #yankees #repbx

NEW: Brendan Sorsby's agent, Ron Slavin, claims Cincinnati knew about the gambling addiction and took no action:

“If anybody should be questioned or catching heat, it should be Cincinnati. Because they knew for two years and never said anything or didn’t do anything about it. That’s the part of the story that gets lost.”

🚨 NEW: JD Vance SCOLDS Fox’s Jessica Tarlov after she claims “when your party is out of power, you have less pride in the country” as NEW POLL finds just 29% of Dems are proud to be American, while 90% of Republicans are "very or extremely proud.”

VANCE: “Jessica, I don’t think that’s right. Why does that need to be true that if your party is out of power, you should have less pride in your country?”

“I guarantee that when Barack Obama was president or Joe Biden was pretending to be president, that you had Republicans who still said they're proud of America. They're proud of our military, our great people, and natural beauty.”

"What I find bizarre about this is we have allowed a culture to develop where people feel like the country is the country’s politics. I wish Democrats were proud of our country, we should all be proud.”

What the World Cup has shown us so far: Propaganda has worked immensely.

Americans are taught that our country is nothing special.

Europeans are taught that America is a horrible country.

Europeans visiting are reminding us that none of it is true.

“Oh Balogun is just playing for the U.S. because he couldn’t make the England squad”…Folks, that is the entire promise of our nation.

Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free.

And then we’ll beat your ass with them.

Yesterday Pete was eager to incorrectly editorialize Kirby Hocutt’s statement to the extent that he lied about its contents.

Yet when Texas Tech officials — five of them — say it’s not clear when/if Sorsby will play, we get no editorializing.

Bang up job by the entire industry.

It's almost as if Donald Trump is quite adept at organizing high-end construction and maintenance projects, and he should be encouraged to focus more on those rather than on starting foreign wars.

[Kevin Turner @ktfuntweets]

Texas Tech isn't the villian people want them to be. It's groupthink horseshit.

They spent enough to have a seat at the table. They spent less NIL money last year than Texas, A&M, Oregon, Miami, and Ohio State.

Clemson chose not to play and they don't eat anymore.
