There are FOUR living Republican former governors in Kansas & NONE have endorsed Marshall (the *sitting* Rep. Senator) for a seat Republicans *desperately* need to win? This is bizarre, right? Is there something that hasn't dropped about Marshall? www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/u...

I reread the ESPN story and what's fascinating is the part about the Clippers is wrong but the part about Kawhi was right. It makes me think that ESPN's sources weren't just the Clippers but also the NBAPA & ESPN knew a deal was being negotiated with Kawhi, which made ESPN believe the Clippers also.
