Cheers to Gov. Pritzker for being the best Governor in America. Illinois is #1!

#1 in Highest Property Taxes
#1 in Property Tax Task Forces
#1 in Highest Combined State and Local Taxes
#1 in Highest Cell Phone Tax
#1 in Highest Proposed Corporate Income Tax Rate
#1 in Units of Local Government
#1 in Fiscal Instability
#1 in Lowest Bond Rating for 13 Consecutive Years
#1 in Lowest State Pension Funding Percentage
#1 in Most Public Corruption in a Federal District (Northern Illinois)
#1 in the Biggest Gas Tax Increase Since 2019
#1 in Eliminating School Choice Programs for Families

@GovPritzker is proudly presiding over the most taxed, least solvent, and most dysfunctional state government in American history - he's #1 where it hurts the citizens of Illinois the most.

An obtained letter from Larry Ferazani, General Counsel of the NFL Management Council.

Dear Mr. Sorsby:

We are in receipt of your Petition for Special Eligibility, dated June 16, 2026 (“Petition”).  As announced earlier today, the League has elected not to conduct a Supplemental Draft this year.

Under our Collective Bargaining Agreement, the League retains sole discretion to determine whether it is appropriate to conduct a Supplemental Draft in any given year. The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry. Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions—does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.

The sole reasons identified in your Petition for seeking entry into the Supplemental Draft are that you have been “declared ineligible” by the NCAA, have “exhausted all of [your] avenues to continue in the NCAA,” and “want to now play in the NFL.” The Petition provides no information regarding the basis for, or timing of, the NCAA’s decision. Public sources, however, indicate that in May 2026 the NCAA issued a determination declaring you permanently ineligible from participation in college athletics, based on a sustained pattern of improper gambling activity during your collegiate career at three different universities.

The League does not have the complete record of the NCAA’s investigation, and you did not provide any such materials with your Petition. Available information nonetheless indicates that, over the course of your collegiate career, you knowingly engaged in repeated and significant violations of NCAA rules designed to preserve the integrity of athletic competition. Reported conduct includes placing wagers on your own team and teammates and, to avoid detection, establishing or funding accounts in the names of intermediaries who placed bets on your behalf. There are also reports that you may have violated state criminal law.

Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.

As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.

Sincerely,
Lawrence P. Ferazani, Jr.

Spencer Pratt got 0 out of 24,000 votes in a late night LA ballot drop.

0/24,000

A guy getting around 30% support got 0 out of 24,000.

Astronomically small probability of happening.

Impossible.

California no longer even hides it.

Doors need to be kicked in.

Game 7

NBA Player: *sniffles* my knee has a bruise on it, I can’t play.

NHL Player: My knee is literally falling off the bone and my labrum already detached itself from my shoulder. I’m playing.

I’m not the biggest Ken Griffin fan from the GameStop saga days. But I’d love for him to give Zohran a big fuck you and pull his construction plans and pull the hundreds of millions he pays in taxes and charity. NYC officials are hilarious. All they do is say they hate rich peole and then beg them to stay and pay for all their useless shit. There was zero reason for Zohran to antagonize Griffin except to appease his yellow and purple haired communist base. He could have still initiated the tax without trying to be Mr Cool Guy Communist and rubbing people’s faces in it. Why would any rich person stay there? NYC wanted a communist mayor. They got a communist mayor.

McGowan: “My president just stood at the State of the Union and said, the Democrats are evil monsters who should be killed.”

Parrish: “Oh, no. The president did not say that... The president did not call anyone be killed.”

Mike Eruzione rips all the idiots criticizing the USA hockey team:

"Shame on you. We live in the greatest country in the world... But they don't want to talk about that. They've got to find something to bitch and complain about. Shut up and just enjoy what they did."

[Eric Adams @ericadamsfornyc]

Watching officers get pelted with snow while they are out in brutal weather protecting this city should make every New Yorker furious. It is disgusting behavior.

And the politicians who constantly bash the police and refuse to have their backs are setting a terrible example. Leadership matters. Tone matters.

ALL ELECTED OFFICIALS must speak out and make it clear that attacks on our officers, in any form, will not stand.

Back the police. Full stop.

The US hockey team rolled into E11ven night club in Miami and led the club in singing the national anthem. This is phenomenal:

This should be a bigger story. China offered Liu millions of dollars to flip to skating for them because her dad is Chinese. She & her dad said hell no because they believe in democracy in China. Meanwhile Eileen Gu, born & raised here, took millions to flip to compete for China.

[JJ Watt @JJWatt]

I can’t be reading this right.

This has to be some knock-off Hall of Fame or something, it can’t be the actual NFL Hall of Fame.

There is not a single world whatsoever in which Bill Belichick should not be a First-Ballot Hall of Famer.

[Dave Portnoy @stoolpresidente]

The ND clause is arguably the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard of. Let them play their own tournament vs themselves. They aren’t even the best team in their own state.
