"We didn't get a chance to do it last year — this is what it was supposed to look like before.”

The Rockets are racing, spacing and most importantly, healthy. It’s October so no one knows what it means, but it’s provocative.

Useful video from Justin Kwan. You can press trousers in a similar manner (use pressing cloth; only press down, don't iron). Jackets are trickier bc of amount of shaping, esp in shoulders and chest. But this can help with most issues. Much better than steaming.

New column: Trying to make sense of the Marvin Harrison trade for the Texans and whatever the Commanders did at the end of yesterday's game against the Giants, which was about 70% coaches, 30% Jayden Daniels https://t.co/u0EtHW0GxM

[Brian McTaggart @brianmctaggart]

We are there, coach.

Scoop: In 2014, Ken Paxton sat for a deposition where federal lawyers quizzed him about his growing wealth and investment tactics.

The depo has never been made public. We got a copy. https://t.co/gOfMkjQ5OK @nytimes

@chrisdeville @Steven_Hyden Haha couldn’t resist especially since he just wrote such a glowing concert review in his Substack. He didn’t come by Houston on this or the last tour but would love to see him live

Please please PLEASE do not let a day go by in the next 12 days where this game is not marketed and talked about heavily. Dish out deals, post multiple times a day, try and get even more outreach please whatever we can do to fill seats @UHCougarFB @UHCougars @EddieNunezAD

[#14 Barstool Coogs @BarstoolCoogs]

I wish this video would spread all over the world so people could learn how to talk to these sick bastards.

I recommend people read Time's interview with Trump to get a sense of the president's grave cognitive impairment. Trump is either unwilling or unable (or maybe both) to answer the questions he's actually asked, so he just rants and raves while the interviewers do their best to provide structure to his random brain firings. https://t.co/wUBAQYBGjd

@trufelman could have been an anecdote in your series on Gear

US law requires the Pentagon to buy only American-made boots for US soldiers.

When the Marines went to Norway for 2026 NATO Cold Response exercises, their patriotic boots fell apart.

So, the shoeless soldiers went & bought Norwegian boots. They worked fine.

Lessons abound.

This is the interview Trump’s FCC doesn’t want you to see.

We’re not just going up against the most corrupt politician in Texas.

We’re going up against this entire corrupt system.

[Cody Alexander @The_Coach_A]

While the NFL chases disguise, DeMeco Ryans built a top-two defense on clear structure.

Houston ranked third in static shells (80%) and rarely blitzed on early downs in 2025.

Instead of relying on disguises, Ryans and DC Matt Burke use an opponent's field-zone tendencies to control the game.

They base out of single-high in the "Open Field" (-31 to +41), shift to split-field at a 55% clip in the "Fringe" (+40 to +21), and clamp down with man coverage in the Low Red.

In a league obsessed with disguise, the Texans have built a system around pure execution.

Meet the league's "Anti-Defense."

The full breakdown of Houston’s zone-first architecture is only on MatchQuarters:

This isn't getting nearly enough publicity.

This is the tobacco companies admitting their product causes cancer and making a plea deal to avoid the death penalty.

Social media is toxic for kids & teens and senior executives *at these companies* don't let their own kids near it.

[Rebecca Ballhaus @rebeccaballhaus]

The Justice Department was preparing to wage a legal battle more than a decade in the making against the world’s largest concert promoter. Then Trump called.

Inside the leadup to the Live Nation settlement, where many DOJ officials regarded the political interference as extreme even for an administration in which the White House regularly inserts itself into law-enforcement matters.
