.@hawkblogger didn’t hold back when reacting to the #NFL’s mistake on the Jaxon Smith-Njigba Offensive Player of the Year trophy:
‘I think it’s honestly, jokes aside, I think it’s shameful. I really really do. It isn’t just that this is the one thing that happened, they also had a comedian go up there & butcher his name intentionally like that wasn’t them doing it but it did happen.’
‘So shame on the NFL for booting one of their rising stars who is not only great at the game but a great guy.’

The NFL quickly collected a fine for the dunk celebration, then used those same images for promotion.
The Offensive Player of the Year was turned into a comedy segment with Druski, minimizing an award earned through elite performance and hard work.
NFL Honors never acknowledged the poor representation of one of the league’s top individual awards.
The “prestigious” ceremony didn’t even air the pre-recorded acceptance speech.
After months to prepare and ship the award, the only offensive player selected received a Defensive Player of the Year trophy.
At some point, professionalism, respect, and attention to detail should matter.
JAXON SMITH-NJIGBA RUNNING CRISP ROUTES AT #SEAHAWKS CAMP TODAY.
JSN added significant muscle this offseason and is in the best shape of his life.
Coming off a historic season, he hasn’t slowed down at all & continues grinding to be the best in the #NFL.
Elon Musk opened the federal budget and found what both parties spent decades making sure nobody would ever see.
The receipts.
Musk: “Most of the fraudulent government payments, especially to the NGOs, go to the Democrats. Let’s say 80%, maybe 90%. 10 to 20% of it does go to Republicans.”
He didn’t say one side was clean.
He said both sides were eating.
Musk: “The honest answer is the Republicans are partly… they’re receiving some of the fraud too. They’re getting a vig.”
A vig.
That’s the word you use when the house takes a cut of every bet at the table.
That’s not governance. That’s a rake.
And when DOGE shut off the fraudulent payments, the loudest screams didn’t come from Democrats.
They came from Republicans.
Musk: “When we turn off funding to a fraudulent NGO, we’d get complaints from whatever the 10% of Republicans who were receiving the money. And they would very loudly complain.”
You tell someone 90% of the fraud funds their political opponents.
And they still fight you to keep their 10%.
Musk: “I tried telling them, ‘Well, you know, 90% of the money is going to your opponents.’”
Rogan: “They want their piece.”
Musk: “Yeah, they want their piece.”
Rogan: “And they’ve been getting that piece for a long time.”
The uniparty was never a conspiracy theory.
Musk: “The whole uniparty criticism has some validity to it.”
It’s a revenue model.
Left and right aren’t opponents. They’re co-signers on the same account.
The theater is for you. The money is for them.
Every bank on earth runs AI that flags a suspicious $47 charge before you even notice it.
The United States government somehow can’t catch billions in fraudulent payments to shell NGOs.
The technology exists. It has for years.
An algorithm doesn’t care which party you belong to. It doesn’t take a vig. It doesn’t have a donor.
It just follows the money.
And that’s exactly why they’ll never willingly deploy it.
Musk didn’t expose a partisan scandal.
He exposed the operating system of American governance.
And the most dangerous thing he did wasn’t cutting the payments.
It was proving both sides would rather protect the fraud than lose their cut.
The system isn’t broken.
It was built this way.
