I’m told Aaron Rodgers is on his way. Still waiting for Spirit to board.

@JMackey_PGH Anything on Nicky G?

What do you mean by “effective”, senator?

[Elizabeth Warren @SenWarren]

BREAKING: A conservative court packed with Trump-appointed judges just ruled to ROLL BACK access to the abortion pill.

This is a page straight out of extremist Republicans’ anti-abortion playbook.

Let me be clear: the abortion pill is safe and effective.

We must fight back.

The Pirates have amassed some serious young talent.

Timing is great right after Olympic hockey.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

The World Baseball Classic feels like it has truly arrived with this year’s tournament. Tons of fans in many countries are super engaged. It’s hard to start something new, but it feels significant now. Do you guys get that feeling too?

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Things were going so well, too

No way he’s ever had to reckon with his own masculinity.

[Brandon Gill @realBrandonGill]

TALARICO: "Prophetic voices like Jesus have helped me reckon with my own whiteness, my own masculinity, my own certainty, my own ego. It's a never-ending process, and it's a painful process."

What kind of man talks like this?

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Sup?

You can’t take our country — and you can’t take our game.

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Spot on. No reason there isn’t a national doubleheader 5 nights a week.

[Foul Territory @FoulTerritoryTV]

Scott Boras uses the NBA's media rights deal to explain how MLB's inability to acquire its true valuation is playing into labor issues.

"They offered the league, and we offer regional. Consequently, we're getting half. If we have $20B to deal with versus $4B, all the ills of what several owners struggle with today will be resolved."

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Agreed.

[Noah Hiles @_NoahHiles]

The offense is improved. But I don’t like the current roster construction. My biggest issue is that they no longer have the DH spot open. There was a lot of talk about how that would be available to keep guys fresh, dudes like O’Hearn, Lowe and Reynolds who they’ll need throughout the grind of a long season. That’s no longer an option now. You’ve made their workloads more difficult through acquiring Ozuna.

Democrats?

[MP Arizona☀️🏳️‍🌈💙🌵🐕🐕‍🦺🫂💦🏜🐟🌴🎙🌎🌻♍️🌊 @AzPetrich]

The people who need their own halftime show are the same people who needed their own water fountains.

Just saying.

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Wut?

[Frank J. Fleming @IMAO_]

I would have thought there would be at least one Trump die hard who would be like, “We’ll beat Kamala easily if she runs again despite how close it was the first time!” but going by the replies, everyone is scared of her. Hopefully the Democrats are stupid and don’t run her again

Jeff Bezos was expected to lose $100 million a year on the Washington Post, forever, because he could afford to. This is the worldview of the left.

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

I love how the next to last sentence just sneaks in that the WaPo loses $100M a year. As if that shouldn’t matter.

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

Jeff Bezos wealth in 2024: $194 billion

Jeff Bezos wealth in 2025: $215 billion

Jeff Bezos wealth today: $249.4 billion

Net increase in Bezos wealth since 2024: $55.4 billion

Cost of Bezos’s 417-foot superyacht: $500 million

Amazon investment in "Melania": $75 million

Original Bezos purchase price of the Washington Post in 2013: $250 million

Bezos net worth in 2013: $25.2 billion

Net increase in Bezos wealth since buying the Post: $224.2 billion

Last reported annual losses of Post: $100 million

Number of years Bezos could absorb those losses with what he makes in a single week: 5

Who does Penn State hire now? They are likely to end up with someone way less accomplished and successful than James Franklin.

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Because he’s significantly better at football.

[Andrew Fillipponi @ThePoniExpress]

Scary stats: Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson have nearly identical stats 6 games into their Steelers career. Then Russell Wilson fell off a cliff. What makes you think Aaron Rodgers will be different?

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Really good take 👇

WHY CANT PEOPLE GET IT ??

Florida is NOT a better job or football program than Ole Miss TODAY. I will unpack one last time.

Florida is a bigger school, they have more alumni, they have more championships. That makes them HISTORICALLY better. That has nothing to do with 2025 and what college football is today. CFB is not what it was when Friends was on TV , it’s not what it was even 4 years ago.

TODAY -
Ole Miss pays Lane Kiffin more than Napier by several million dollars
Can UF pay the same? Yes.
Can they pay more ? No.
OM can do whatever length of contract they want through the private entity known as the Ole Miss Athletic Foundation. So the pay will be the same.

OM has the highest paid Top 10 assistants in the SEC. Including THE highest paid assistant coach in the SEC (Pete)

OM can put together $25M for a Football roster on a consistent basis. Can UF do that ? Yes I’d assume they can. But can they do anything OM CAN’T do ? NO they cannot

OM gives our Head Coaches (Football, Baseball, Basketball) complete autonomy. The booster structure at Ole Miss is trying to support the program ( not run the program ) the top people and the guy giving $100 year are in lock step and it’s been like that since Day 1. OM collective is generally accepted as Top 5 collective in the country and has been an innovator in the space.

Our Chancellor is fully committed 100% to athletics as a way to grow the University’s success and is in complete sync with Athletic Director Keith Carter (who might be the best AD in the SEC, OM alum former Basketball player at OM) . Neither are going anywhere and both have big equity with the donors and fanbase.

Kids today care about Money, Playing Time and style of play, and they want to win now. OM has won more than every SEC team other than UGA and Bama in today’s setup. OM has new facilities and so does UF but that really doesn’t matter that much anymore.

Again. I’m not saying UF doesn’t have more history, I’m saying that it seems way more fractured and financially there is nothing UF can do that OM can’t if they want to.

The recruiting angle is mute. OM has jets , money and a roster 80% out of state.

Fans are the slowest to realize how much different this now is. Hardly any knowers of ball. Plenty historians. Look at what Indiana just did w Cignetti. 4 years ago he accepts Penn State. He knows he has a good deal and he can write his own rules. I’m sure Lane knows that same thing. I’m not saying he doesn’t leave but the notion of “of course he leaves it’s Florida over Ole Miss “ that’s not a real argument in 2025.

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

I actually think that school of thought works for both schools. PSU is within 3 hours of NYC, Philly, Pittsburgh, and the DMV.

[Clay Travis @ClayTravis]

Florida. Way better recruits. You can win a national championship with only recruits within three hours from campus.

[Andrew Hiskey @aahiskey]

Both are necessary.

[Dan Clark @DanClarkSports]

A salary floor will do far more good for baseball than a salary cap ever will.
