Was that Caitlin Clark calling out Nick Saban for never picking against Alabama on #CollegeGameday? Finally, someone.

There's zero redemption in Watson's comments to date. To look at him is to 🤮. “He is not an inspiration by any stretch, and he’ll never be an inspiration to anybody. And he shouldn’t be an inspiration to Cleveland fans,” Stugotz said.

Rooks did her job responsibly. Watson still doesn't take responsibility for his actions, which is gross, clueless and deserves the fan disgust he gets.

Al Michaels and Kirk Herbstreit treating Deshaun Watson like any other QB, and nary a mention of two dozen sexual assault allegations as part of an already disgusting “redemption” arc they’ve spent all night trying to weave is really gross.

I spent about a month researching how to unseal an NIL deal that's been filed in federal court. When I presented it to a lawyer who works with a major outlet, he loved it. But then they decided to cut me out. So I figured I'd just share my work with everyone :) www.foiaball.com/p/cincinnati...

Yes, yes we are pushing back.
Publishers Push Back: The NYT, Chicago Tribune, and other publishers are asking a federal judge to disregard the Trump Justice Department’s defense of OpenAI in a landmark copyright case, suggesting the administration may have been influenced by “political and financial interests.” The move came after the DOJ filed a brief earlier this month backing OpenAI’s use of copyrighted news articles to train A.I. models qualifies as “fair use,” arguing that restricting A.I. development could hurt U.S. competitiveness. The publishers countered that the government’s position is separate from the copyright questions before the court. “By all measures, this Statement of Interest appears to be an effort to further enrich the world’s largest companies—and the Administration’s largest donors—while undermining this country’s free press,” a spokesperson for The NYT said in a statement.

Today's science lesson ⚾️: "He’s 6 feet 7. His 7 1/2-foot extension, when he delivers a pitch, is unmatched in the sport. His fastball spin rate (2,635 rpm) is in the 99th percentile. And he throws a baseball harder than any starting pitcher has since they began measuring velocity scientifically."
