The Eagles might be flying dead stick, but that will not stop me from enjoying this Cowboys meltdown as nearly double-digit favorites one bit

This afternoon in Marble Hill, a New Yorker was shot by an ICE agent in a residential neighborhood. Early reports indicate agents surrounded him and a 5-year-old child in his car before firing multiple rounds. We believe the child was physically unharmed.

This is an unconscionable and incredibly serious situation. I have called the President; when we speak I will demand that he ends all ICE enforcement actions in our city. I will not stand by while ICE agents terrorize our communities.

Our thoughts are with the injured New Yorker and his family tonight. We are praying for his recovery.

Get ICE out of our neighborhoods. Get ICE out of our hospitals. Get ICE off our streets. Get ICE away from our children.

Abolish ICE.

I do this in a longstanding fantasy football league — simliar stakes, I know — and it is HILARIOUS when it backfires on the person who handpicked their opponent. The slander potential is truly endless here.

I'm sure the rest of what MLB is proposing in its next CBA is hot garbage, but... I'm very here for the "higher seed picks its opponent in the playoffs" idea. www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/...

MLB proposes shorter regular season, best-of-7 Division Series
Major League Baseball proposed to shorten the regular season to 154 games from 162 games starting in 2029 and to expand the Division Series to best-of-seven in bargaining with players.

Whenever someone without small kids finds out how much child care costs these days, they look like you just murdered a puppy right in front of them (aka pulled a Noem)

the reason “AI will create so much abundance we will have a utopian society” rhetoric falls so flat is that the people building it will never, ever share their bounty unless it is taken from them and we all know it

Someone this stupid should not be one step away from the presidency. (I fully recognize who the president is right now, thank you.)

This is the thing. If AI is supposed to save you time for the things that Really Matter, and reading a book to your baby is not something that Really Matters, then what are you doing? These guys really just want AI to live their lives while they grind Kalshi and Polymarket all day every day.

Can't imagine they'd cut him outright, would have to think they'd explore a trade, especially since he doesn't have a ton of guaranteed money left on his deal?

And oh, by the way, they have a potential out in Jalen Hurts' contract in 2028, which I'm sure is a total coincidence

The Eagles are eating big dead cap hits for A.J. Brown and Cam Jurgens in 2026 + 2027. They now have two 1st-round picks and two 2nd-round picks in 2028. That seems like a pretty clear signal about where they're headed in the short term + when they're planning to ramp back up.

That split is still WAY too close given *gestures wildly at everything over the past 20 months*

idk about the cap implications of trading him now, but could this seen be a way to clear salary for some of their upcoming extensions (Quinyon, Coop, etc.?)

The responses to this make me genuinely curious: How many of First Take's ~500K viewers are individual homes vs. "out-of-home viewers" (bars, restaurants, etc)? Is that data broken out anywhere? I have a feeling it would expose something that ESPN wouldn't want anyone to see...
