Translation: We’re aware he beats women but he scores touchdowns so he’s not getting cut
#Packers HC Matt LaFleur opening statement on RB Josh Jacobs:
"We're aware of the prior allegations on Josh. We're going to allow the NFL to do its process. But I would anticipate him being a member of us moving forward."

The #MNTwins have scored the 2nd-most runs in the AL and will still miss the playoffs.
The difference? 21 blown saves and a 67% save conversion rate.
And it was completely avoidable.
A year ago, the Twins traded Jhoan Duran and Louis Varland - two elite, controllable relievers - without adequately replacing either. They also let Brent Headrick go to another team for nothing.
Duran became an All-Star for #RingTheBell. Varland did the same for the #BlueJays50, where Toronto reportedly viewed him as an “untouchable” bullpen cornerstone with control through 2030 - the only Jays reliever off-limits at the deadline. Meanwhile, Headrick has been a dominant setup reliever for the #Yankees.
The Twins had the blueprint for a dominant bullpen.
They dismantled it for no reason and never replaced it.
2026 was another wasted season. Ownership and the front office deserve all of the blame.
A year later, nothing has changed.
