Hey ESPN,
Any reason you post about Muslims praying but you won’t post a SINGLE time about the USMNT praying after every match?
I’m sure it’s not because of an agenda or anything... Probably just a mistake, right?
A good look here at @LonestarBSBclub State - Thomas’ Kash Krehbiel today on the bump. The RHP held the opposing team in check to the tune of 9 strikeouts across 5 innings of 1 run ball.

This is insane… the WNBA left the biggest name in their sport, Caitlin Clark off the 30 year anniversary poster.. yet put Angel Reese and others on it..
They have to rent out bigger arenas at away game cities because of Caitlin.. it’s like they want to destroy themselves..
💥 Stephen A. Smith GOES OFF on Zohran Mamdani & the Democrats:
“If the Democratic Party becomes HIM, you have NO CHANCE on a national level — not for the Presidency, not the Senate, not the House. ZERO.”
“You might get a Democratic Socialist sprinkled here and there… but that ain’t America! America is about CAPITALISM! Dollars and cents! A flourishing economy!”
“And let’s keep it a buck — it’s NOT about free stuff! Somebody had to say it!”
🔥 Who else is tired of the “everything free” agenda? Drop a 💰 if you agree.

🚨 JUST IN: Stephen Miller says it PERFECTLY
"A vote for any Democrat ANYWHERE, for ANY office, is empowering a party that wants to strip this country to the BONE, to take away our security, our defense, our way of life!"
"Just tonight, I saw a Democrat member of Congress online defending the Antifa terrorists in Texas who were just jailed for shooting an ICE officer!"
"Democrats you grew up with, the Democrats that your mom and dad grew up with, the Democrats that your grandma and grandpa grew up with do not exist anymore at all, not at any level of government!"

I understand why people are uncomfortable with the Brendan Sorsby situation. Betting on sports as a college athlete is serious. Betting connected to your own team creates an obvious integrity concern. Nobody has to minimize that.
But there is another side to this that college football people should at least be honest enough to acknowledge.
When a player becomes part of your program, he becomes part of your football family. That does not mean you excuse everything. It does not mean accountability disappears. It means you do not abandon him the second the situation becomes difficult, public, or uncomfortable.
There is a difference between defending the person and defending the mistake.
Texas Tech is in an impossible spot. Deep down, they may have hoped the final ruling would remove the decision from their hands. Exhaust every option, support the player, let the process play out, and if he is ruled ineligible, accept it. That is the cleanest outcome for a program trying to balance loyalty, discipline, public pressure, and competitive integrity.
But now the court has ruled that he is legally allowed to play. That changes the structure of the decision.
If Texas Tech turns its back on him now, what message does that send to every player and family they recruit? That we will fight for you until the pressure gets too loud? That we will call you family when you are producing, but distance ourselves when standing beside you becomes inconvenient?
If I were recruiting against Texas Tech and they abandoned him after he was legally cleared to play, I would use that every time. Not because the mistake does not matter, but because trust matters. Families want to know what happens when their son is injured, struggling, accused, embarrassed, or sitting in the middle of a situation nobody wants attached to the program.
Accountability and loyalty are not opposites.
You can believe justice should be served. You can believe the integrity of the game matters. You can believe gambling violations deserve real consequence. You can also believe that a program should stand by its people through the full process, not just through the easy parts.
That is the hard part of family.
You do not only fight for your people when the optics are clean. You fight for them through the good and the bad, while still demanding accountability, treatment, discipline, and truth.
Texas Tech may not like the position it is in. Most programs would not. But once he is legally allowed to play and remains part of the Red Raider family, abandoning him strictly because of social pressure would send its own message.
And that message may be harder to overcome than the controversy itself.
According to news reports, at least 8 Georgia football players were arrested in the past year: Jahzare Jackson (Jul 2025: felony marijuana), Nyier Daniels (Nov 2025: multiple felonies incl. fleeing; dismissed), Dontrell Glover & Bo Walker (Dec 2025: shoplifting), London Seymour (Jan 2026: 11 felony property damage counts), Chris Cole & Darren Ikinnagbon (Feb 2026: reckless driving/speeding), Ja'Marley Riddle (May 2026: felony drug possession & speeding). Includes felonies and misdemeanors.
The West has created an utterly evil state religion where an accusation of “racism” is the gravest offense that can be committed, even worse than rape or murder!
So if police show up at a crime scene and a British boy is bleeding out and an immigrant says the British boy is racist the cops will cuff the dying British boy.
A little perspective for Lady Vol fans:
Don’t judge an entire fanbase by the loudest idiots on social media. Every fanbase has them. Lord knows Tennessee has more than our fair share.
Every Texas Tech fan I met at the WCWS this week has been nothing but respectful, welcoming, and passionate about their team.
And as for the money? Spare me. College sports have become an arms race. We celebrate NIL, facilities, and donor support when it benefits our team. We can’t suddenly act offended when another fanbase does the same thing.
The atmosphere in Oklahoma City has been incredible. Packed crowds, passionate fans, national attention, and programs investing in softball. That’s good for the sport whether we like who’s winning or not. Enjoy the games. Respect the fans. Save the hate for the scoreboard. Go Lady Vols 🍊
