What a fucking night. One of the best experiences of my life.
Proper lions den. Fights kicking off, beers chucked over us all game, all sorts raining down on us. This was their second goal🏴🏴🏴

This is disgusting Megyn. I was going to address this by telling a disgusting story about you getting caught giving a blow job in the bathroom of Radio City in 2006 to someone who wasn’t your first husband and the origin of your nickname, (eye for an eye and all that). But, I think it’s easier just to let your words sink you. Gross evil racist.
I can't afford to go to a World Cup game. Yet all these fans from 3rd world countries are flying over, staying in jacked up overpriced hotels, and then spending $5k per ticket. Are we all being told lies? Is America poor or is it just me?
So unfortunately a little update from me, I was hesitant to say anything, but I do want people to be careful and safe.
Thursday night I was drugged at the bar, I don’t remember almost anything of it, other than I vaguely remember puking my guts out on the street and knowing that I didn’t drink more than I have in the past.
Yesterday I still felt like utter death, and so I went to minor emerg and had toxicology work done that showed Rohypnol in my system. They put me on an IV and extra electrolytes and today I am feeling much much better.
Really important to remember that there are bad actors out there and to make sure you are guarding yourself and your beverages. Unfortunately I was having a great time and having drinks from a lot of directions. Very foolish of me, and a serious learning lesson.
“It was surely MESSI'S LAST WORLD CUP MATCH, and perhaps his LAST with his country. He will be 35 YEARS OLD when the NEXT WORLD CUP IN QATAR arrives."
The words of the English commentator after Argentina's elimination in 2018.
The ONLY 🐐
The hockey world truly is a special place.
Here are a few more photos with Mavrik. Cougars alumni Jansen Harkins and Ethan Samson stopped by to spend some time with him, along with NHL stars Macklin Celebrini and Zach Benson.
The support surrounding Mavrik continues to be incredible to see.
I have zero tolerance for dads who show up on vacation, immediately crack and cold one, and then spend hours observing the fun their kids are having from a chair instead of being a part of it.
You can choose numbness or you can choose to make memories. You don't get the time back.
🚨🚨BREAKING: Cleveland TRIED to trade Myles Garret to Chicago but their call was NOT answered.
The #Browns attempted to call Ryan Poles to see if the #Bears had any last minute offers for Myles Garret but the call was NEVER answered.
Poles was reportedly in a “Brutal Food Coma” after consuming SEVEN Arby’s Beef and Cheddar sandwiches on a dare by staff members and MISSED Andrew Berry’s call.
The #Rams ended up completing their trade for Garret before Poles could even call Cleveland back.
It is very possible that Myles Garret would’ve been a Chicago Bear HAD Poles answered his phone.
WOW. 😳😳😳
I’m going to say this as calmly as possible:
Watching Caitlin Clark in the WNBA has become genuinely hard to stomach.
Not because she struggles sometimes. Not because she makes mistakes. Not because she gets criticized. That comes with being great.
It’s hard to stomach because it has become obvious that the league, the officials, the media, the players, and even her own organization have all decided that the most important thing is not letting Caitlin Clark become too big.
And that is insane.
This league was handed the most marketable, electric, revenue-generating player women’s basketball has ever seen, and instead of building around the moment, too many people seem obsessed with humbling her.
She gets fouled. Held. Hit. Cheap-shotted. Mocked. Targeted. Then when she reacts like a normal competitor, suddenly everyone wants to analyze her attitude.
No.
Her attitude is not the story.
The story is that a generational player is being treated like a problem by the very league she helped drag into mainstream relevance.
This reminds me of the worst kind of youth coach... the one who sees a special player, feels threatened by her talent, and slowly drains the joy out of her in the name of “teaching humility.”
That is what this looks like.
The freedom she played with at Iowa is disappearing. The fire is still there, but the joy looks damaged. The confidence looks weighed down. She looks like someone constantly fighting the refs, opponents, narratives, coaching decisions, jealousy, and a league culture that should be protecting its golden opportunity instead of resenting it.
And let’s be honest: Stephanie White has not helped.
Benching Caitlin Clark randomly when she is controlling the game tempo, or having your best shooter off the floor in critical game ending minutes when a victory is within reach is basketball malpractice. Limiting her rhythm, downplaying her greatness, benching momentum, and treating her like just another piece instead of the engine is absurd.
You do not take a player who changed the economics of your sport and manage her like you’re afraid her greatness might offend the room.
Nike deserves criticism too. Other players get signature shoes rolled out with urgency, while the biggest draw in women’s basketball is somehow still waiting on that signature shoe. That is not confusing. That is revealing.
Fans are not stupid.
They see the fouls.
They see the double standards.
They see the jealousy.
They see the media resentment.
They see the league benefiting from her popularity while refusing to fully embrace her.
And here is the part the WNBA better understand quickly:
People are not tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be humbled.
They are tuning in to watch Caitlin Clark be great.
If she walked away tomorrow, the fans would follow her. The sponsors would follow her. The energy would follow her. The high salaries and the charter jets would follow her. And the league would be forced to confront the uncomfortable truth it keeps trying to avoid:
Caitlin Clark did not need the WNBA nearly as much as the WNBA needed Caitlin Clark.
At some point, her family, her agent, and her team need to ask a hard question:
How much longer do you let a league profit from her while allowing the culture around her to beat the spirit out of her?
Because from the outside looking in, this does not look like normal adversity anymore. It looks like abuse.
It looks like a league trying to break the very player who made millions of people care.

This is awesome: Matthew Schaefer’s dad and brother not only surprise him on GMA, but bring him the Calder too, with Matt Martin behind him.
And his dad choking up as he says “You are the Calder Trophy winner.”
Gotta love it. 🏒 ❤️
I asked the president why focus on these projects now amid the backdrop of the war in Iran and as gas prices soar.
He said the question was “stupid” and a “disgrace to the country” saying he’s “fixing” the reflecting pool.
