We went from "Hamstring Hi Mom" to "take your ass and go play tennis" in left field on the Southside. What a transition.

JUST IN: You do not fire your Army Chief of Staff in the middle of a war for no reason. You fire him because of what comes next.

Pete Hegseth called General Randy George on April 2 and told him to retire immediately. The Pentagon confirmed it within hours. No reason was given. Not publicly. Not privately. A senior Army official told Fox News that Hegseth offered George nothing: no misconduct, no operational failure, no policy disagreement on the record. Just a phone call and a career ending in the middle of the most significant American combat operation in two decades.

George is the 24th general or admiral Hegseth has removed. But he is not the 24th. He is the one that matters. The Army Chief of Staff. The man whose signature sits between a president’s intent and the order that sends soldiers across a beach or into a tunnel complex. The 82nd Airborne is deploying right now. Marines from the 31st MEU are staged on the USS Tripoli. JSOC operators are at forward bases in Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. Kharg Island, 90 percent of Iranian oil exports, sits 16 kilometres off a coast that someone will have to decide whether to approach. And the four-star general whose job it was to advise whether that approach should happen was removed 48 hours after Trump told the nation the war would continue for two to three more weeks.

The replacement is Vice Chief General Christopher LaNeve. He was Hegseth’s senior military aide before this appointment. The man who carried the Secretary’s briefcase now commands the Army the Secretary is reshaping. The chain of command did not break. It shortened. The distance between a television studio and a combat order just collapsed to zero intermediaries who were not personally selected by the man giving the order.

No reason was given. That is the tell. When someone is removed without explanation during a crisis, the explanation is the crisis itself. George either objected to something or was about to. The ground option. The power plant strikes. The Kharg raid. The escalation that turned a highway bridge in Karaj into rubble on the same day he was told to leave. Something in the next two weeks requires a chief who will not push back, and the Pentagon solved that problem by installing one trained as Hegseth’s aide.

A former Fox News weekend host just fired a four-star general with combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, replaced him with his own former assistant, and did it during a live war in which the next decision could put American soldiers on Iranian soil for the first time in history. No hearing was held. No misconduct cited. The Army woke up on April 3 with a new chief it did not choose, in a war it did not start, preparing for a phase the previous chief apparently could not be trusted to execute.

The question is not why George was fired. Every general in the building knows why. The question is what order is coming in the next fourteen days that required removing the one man in the chain of command who might have said no.

The war has no perimeter. The chain of command has no objectors. And the next phase has no one left to stop it.

Once upon a time they'd just slap an NCAA logo on the floor a few times, put a cloth over the scorers table and it was actually awesome. I knew what region's games were going on by the court and it really gave you as a fan a sense of place for those games.

Now we've gone to totally sterile "March Madness" courts and even worse now - gigantic LED screens to compliment the other 3,000 LED screens you find in some sterile convention city arena so they can shove more advertisements up your ass and shave a little more of your attention span away.

Illinois State finished the regular season 8-4 after a 30 point loss to SIU.

They have now beat SE LA, #1 NDSU down by 14 in the 4th quarter & #8 UC Davis in the FCS playoffs all on the road.

They are a win away from the National Title game.

He came. He saw. He conquered. Just like Julius Caesar. @CaseyCegles is the #CeglesBowl champ & accordingly, the Albany Stadium will forever be named in his honor. Great day for @Towson_FB - great day to be a Cegles (named Casey).

27 people have been arrested over 2 days, Trump sends in the National Guard.

Over 1000 people arrested over J6, Trump doesn't bother.
