Mike Alstott would be thrown in prison if he played in today’s NFL
#Giants RB Cam Skattebo just absolutely obliterated #Texans S M.J. Stewart—but was called for unnecessary roughness for lowering his helmet. This is not the NFL you grew up watching.

This is like if a European soccer team went to Pittsburgh and posted about cheesesteaks.

IRGC Spokesperson: "When we say 'Death to America,' we mean death to the policies of killing, plundering and bloodshed, death to those who hold such ideas." "The reason they consider the IRGC a terrorist organization is that the IRGC stands in the way of plundering in Iran and the region."

People need to understand that western Massachusetts is the the wokest place on Earth. Worse than Portland, NYC, SF, LA, etc. because those people are puritans and the believe in all of it with a total religious ferocity that would frighten even Jonathan Edwards.

It’s so strange as a Giant fan to win a game & not have to have a whole knock down / drag out Twitter fight on how it screwed up our draft pick.

And there you go. A lad has had a good look at what Everton are about and said ‘no thanks’. And can you honestly blame him? Some accountability is needed for this and quickly. This is about professional standards and competence as much as football at this point #EFC
🚨 Folarin Balogun transfer from Monaco to Everton off. Deal for 25yo #ASMonaco striker renegotiated after issues during medical & deal sheet submitted; but USA international decided not to proceed + left #EFC training ground without signing @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/7557457…

Everyone is overthinking the Trump "Greats." He stole the ratings and pics from Arthur Schlesinger Sr.'s famous 1948 Life article, and adjusted for later presidents. No philosophy of government implied by the "greats."
