The NFL is really dumb about its flex scheduling.
All of America is going to have to watch the 2-5 Eagles vs the 1-4-1 Commanders on Sunday Night Football.
Meanwhile only about 25% of America will get the 5-2 Steelers vs the 5-2 Browns.
What is Roger Goodell thinking?

LGBTQ activist has a deer-in-headlights moment when Piers Morgan asks her to explain what “non-binary” actually means.
When she can’t, she calls it “uncomfortably personal.” Then Riley Gaines finishes her off.
PIERS MORGAN: “I just want to ask, what do you mean by non-binary?”
ACTIVIST: “Um when I say I’m non-binary, I’m expressing my identity in a way that I have the right to do.”
PIERS MORGAN: “What does that mean? There’s only one of you.”
ACTIVIST: “Actually, they/them has been the collective they has been used to refer to individual people for centuries and still is. So, um, I mean, if you don’t understand basic grammar, that’s on you.”
PIERS MORGAN: “I’ve got to be honest with you, I don’t understand the concept of what non-binary means… There’s one of you sitting here, and you look to me female. You’re a female?”
ACTIVIST: “If you don’t understand what non-binary means…”
PIERS MORGAN: “Are you a female?”
ACTIVIST: “…then I’m not sure you’re in a position to lead a debate…”
PIERS MORGAN: “But if you can’t explain it in simple language, then what’s the point?”
ACTIVIST: “I don’t think that I’m here to discuss the contents of my identity.”
PIERS MORGAN: “You raised this whole thing. I didn’t mention anything about what you were. You did.”
ACTIVIST: “This has really become uncomfortably personal.”
PIERS MORGAN: “Has it? You said it, not me…”
That’s when Riley Gaines dropped the hammer.
RILEY GAINES: “If you think this is uncomfortably personal, try undressing in a locker room with a 6’4 naked man.”

Aaron Rodgers sat at that podium in Paris and said out loud what the corporate league office spends millions trying to sanitize.
The NFL talks endlessly about “player safety” and “expanding the global game.” But behind closed doors, owners scrapped player-friendly bye weeks, forced a brutal 17th regular-season game, and shipped franchises across oceans simply because there was another dollar to squeeze out of foreign TV markets.
While families and players navigate locked-down streets, civil tension, and grueling travel schedules, ownership sits in five-star suites counting international expansion checks.
Rodgers doesn't care about league fines anymore. He’s telling you the truth: in the modern NFL, the brand and the balance sheet come first. The humans on the field come second.

JPMorgan CEO Jamie Dimon blasts Washington’s spending culture: “I don’t know anyone, Democrat or Republican, who thinks sending another trillion dollars to Washington, D.C., will actually improve anything.” 🇺🇸
“Give the money to people who will actually use it to further their lives, spend in their communities, and take care of their kids—instead of the government dictating how they spend every little thing.
I don’t think you have to raise taxes. I think it would drive a lot of growth. And if you have to raise taxes a little bit, that’s fine. If you said, ‘Raise taxes and directly give it to the people,’ I’d do it.
But I don’t know anyone, Democrat or Republican, who thinks sending another trillion dollars to Washington, D.C., will actually improve anything.
There are 17,000 lobbying groups. They’re fighting for their own self-interest instead of what’s good for the country.
Look at the CHIPS Act. It was a good idea until it had to include union pay, childcare, diapers. What the hell are we doing?
Then it fails, and we spend more money because supposedly the problem was we didn’t spend enough money.”

Palmer Luckey says America’s greatest advantage over China is that a broke 19-year-old with no college degree can still raise $1 MILLION to build a company: “That’s not happening in China.” 🇺🇸🇨🇳
“I was a 19-year-old kid working a minimum-wage job, with no college degree, living in a 19-foot camper trailer. And Peter Thiel gave me $1 million when nobody else would to start Oculus.
I know other people who were in maybe not quite such extreme situations. That’s not happening in China, I’ll tell you that.
Marc Andreessen has a really good point. He says, ‘If you can’t get any of the 10,000 people with my phone number to say a nice word about you, why would I talk to you? That’s part of the test.
If you can’t get connected to me, you’re never going to be successful convincing people to work for you, convincing the next round of investors, or convincing factories to work with you.’”

“Taiwan is not the end state for China. And all the people who think this fight over Taiwan is the real fight are missing the point.
They believe that Korea is their territory.
They also believe North Korea is their territory, but they like it as a buffer state with South Korea.
That would change the moment they could actually capture South Korea.
Is this the real world? Is this a movie?
Palmer Luckey warns China’s territorial ambitions go far beyond Taiwan: “They believe the Philippines, Korea, and even parts of Japan belong to them.” 🇺🇸🇨🇳🇹🇼🇯🇵
“Taiwan is not the end state for China. And all the people who think this fight over Taiwan is the real fight are missing the point.
They believe that the Philippines is their territory. They believe that Korea is their territory. They also believe North Korea is their territory, but they like it as a buffer state with South Korea. That would change the moment they could actually capture South Korea.
They even think that most of Japan belongs to them. Publicly, they won’t say they own all of Japan, but they do maintain that they own part of Japan.
It’s really dangerous to let people with millennia-long ambitions of ruling those areas go unchecked.”
My take away from Palmer here is how critical defense in the Pacific will eventually become. The United States recent directional change in supplying our military with amphibious landing equipment, demonstrates how imminent they believe a threat is.
