I have serious questions as well after the Eric Schmitt gaffe. Like, who the hell cut his staffer's hair?

1. Pulling a hamstring SUCKS and it's very painful 2. Rolling around on the field screaming when you're an NFL player is objectively hilarious

NFL: "We need rules so gamblers don't harass players" Fox: "Enhance your Sunday with Gronk's three-way parlay of Bryce Young over 200 passing yards, Tucker Kraft over 50 yards receiving, and Aaron Jones over 75 yards rushing"

Taps the sign from four years ago when I got TREMENDOUS shit for writing this, even from hockey media at the time. Not naming names. Happy to be on the right side of history.

There’s a 100% Venn diagram overlap between the people who think Royce White and Enes Kanter are “hilarious” for their whole grift, and the people who said “the Washington Redskins should change their logo to a potato” a decade ago

Cooking pro tip: Grits in the rice cooker. Old fashioned, not quick. Same ratio as the package but 50/50 water and milk. Quick setting on the rice cooker. Come out perfect, the container is perfectly non stick, and they finish warm enough to melt cheese and butter in.

Will Ospreay never dreamed of Wembley. Because it felt impossible even to the imagination. Ahead of AEW Forbidden Door, I spoke with Will about the journey, and how it feels to be this close to the top of a mountain few thought he’d ever climb.

LaMelo trade rumors don’t surprise me at all. As individually brilliant as Melo can be, he and Miles Bridges run so counter to the system Charles Lee is building.

Two things can be true: 1. The Hurricanes are Stanley Cup Champions 2. The Florida Panthers can't draft or develop a prospect, and their entire roster is bought using the power of being a tax-free state, then their fans pretending they are roster-building geniuses
