In December, SEC commissioner Greg Sankey said that the SEC deserved 7 bids to the College Football Playoff and that 5 wasn’t enough.
He said that Vanderbilt and Texas should also have been in the Playoff.
Despite getting 5 bids, the SEC did not reach the national championship game for a third season in a row.
In bowl season as a whole, the SEC finished 4-10, the worst of any conference. Two of those wins and two of those losses were to other SEC teams, so in non-conference postseason play the SEC went 2-8.
With Miami’s victory over Ole Miss last night, the SEC finished 6-8 against the ACC, the second time in the last three years they’ve had a losing record to the ACC.
It seems the era of blind special treatment and benefit of the doubt for the SEC has come to an end. We’ll have to wait until August to see if there’s 10 SEC teams in the preseason poll again to get the narrative rebooted.
Fred Lynn on fellow #19 Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony:
“He has a really good idea of the strike zone. He doesn’t swing at bad balls, and he hits the ball the other way already. That’s key at Fenway Park for a lefty. That means he can’t be pitched in one certain way. He has options with what he wants to do with the ball.
He can drive the ball [over the Green Monster] or he can pull the ball. He’s going to be a tough out.”

Then carefully analyse the reply from @ElisabethGFY , you’ll find it enlightening.
#Fellas
🚫 “Wages explode”
Removing millions of workers from the economy shrinks the workforce, reduces productivity, and pushes prices UP, not down.
Many industries (agriculture, construction, hospitality, aged care, food services) rely on immigrant labour. Removing those workers would create shortages, not wage booms.
⸻
🚫 “ER wait times plummet”
ER wait times are driven by doctor shortages, nurse shortages, funding, and hospital capacity — not immigration.
Some of the healthcare workers themselves are immigrants.
⸻
🚫 “School class sizes cut in half”
Class sizes depend on teacher numbers, funding, and local populations.
Even in areas with high immigrant populations, removing kids doesn’t magically double school staff.
⸻
🚫 “Auto insurance rates nose dive”
Insurance costs are about risk, claims, repair costs, vehicle prices, and competition — not immigration status.
⸻
🚫 “Home ownership skyrockets”
The housing crisis has far more to do with:
•Lack of supply
•Zoning restrictions
•Underbuilding
•Investors
•High interest rates
Removing immigrants doesn’t fix any of these.
⸻
🚫 “Food prices fall”
Food prices would actually rise sharply — because immigrant labour is critical to farming, food processing, and trucking.
Look at countries that cracked down on migrant farm labour: crops rotted, prices rose.
⸻
🚫 “DMV lines cut in half” or “Traffic disappears”
Traffic and queues come from population density and infrastructure, not immigration status.
⸻
🚫 “English spoken everywhere”
Language diversity has existed in all modern immigration countries.
This point is just xenophobia dressed up as economics.
⸻
🚫 “All violent crime drops substantially”
Multiple studies show:
👉 Immigrants commit less violent crime than native-born citizens.
Removing them doesn’t magically make crime vanish.
⸻
🚫 “Organ transplant waiting lists shorten”
Many immigrants are organ donors and healthcare workers.
This claim has zero factual basis.
⸻
🚫 “Teen summer jobs massively increase”
Teen employment changed due to:
•automation
•shift in education patterns
•minimum wage changes
•fewer traditional teen jobs
Not immigration.
⸻
🚫 “Birth rates spike; couples can finally afford homes”
Birth rates are influenced by:
•cost of living
•childcare availability
•parental leave
•stability and cultural trends
Immigration has nothing to do with most of that.
⸻
✅ The Bigger Truth
Immigrants — legal and undocumented — contribute to:
•the workforce
•tax revenues
•economic growth
•entrepreneurial activity
•essential services (care, farming, construction, food, transport)
Removing millions of people would cause economic shock, labour shortages, and higher consumer prices, not the utopia the list claims.
At the core of all of this, Trump is terrified.
He’s nearly 80, in declining health, with a lifetime of habits...no exercise, junk-food diet, stress-induced rage...that eventually come due, and the bill always arrives brutally.
He’s realizing...maybe for the first time...that the myth he’s wrapped himself in for decades…
the invincible billionaire…
the eternal strongman…
the man who “never ages”…
…was a costume even he didn’t fully believe.
There’s one kind of immunity no Supreme Court ruling can grant him:
immunity from time.
And he feels time closing in.
He knows donors are moving on.
He knows when donors move, the party moves.
He knows the private conversations have already happened.
He knows he’s now a liability...not an asset.
And he knows the people who actually choose the GOP’s figurehead have quietly decided:
It won’t be him.
He’s not handling that truth well...and everything you're seeing now...is the flailing of a man...who realizes the machine he built...is preparing to survive without him.
Excuse me, I was given to understand that, if Mamdani won, we at least would never need to hear the names "Melissa DeRosa" or "Rich Azzopardi" ever again
Lmao, Cuomo lost twice:
- Once in the primary
- Again, tonight
He lost a third time, if you count him being endorsed by trump.
Pathetic loser. Get in your OJ Ford Bronco and drive the f*ck away.
