@AdamSchefter this fair, Jermaine Johnson gotta be dumb happy to be back with Salah

Trade: the New York Jets are sending DE Jermaine Johnson to the Tennessee Titans in exchange for DT T'Vondre Sweat, per ESPN sources. The trade cannot be processed until the start of the new league year in March.

KD cleaning house cause no one wanna speak up on who leaked them convos 🤣

@GovMikeHuckabee ain’t reading all that brother

When I sat down with Tucker Carlson on Wednesday, I was expecting a thoughtful conversation and that he would ask questions and give me the opportunity to actually respond--just like he did with the little Nazi sympathizer Nick Fuentes or the guy who thought Hitler was the good guy and Churchill the bad guy. What I wasn't anticipating was a lengthy series of questions where he seemed to be insinuating that the Jews of today aren't really same people as the Jews of the Bible. I'll first just say something I didn't think to say to Tucker, which is that Ashkenazi Jews, meaning those who families had spent centuries in Europe, are a minority of Israel's Jewish population, only maybe 35-40%. There are far more Sephardic and Mizrahi Jews inside Israel. But there's a good reason, as it turns out, that I had never encountered this theory that Tucker kept pushing on. That’s because it comes from some of the darkest realms of the Internet and social media. I think it's important to take a moment now and educate Tucker and anyone else who might get sucked in by this dangerous conspiracy theory, just as I have been educated this week. I'm sharing this information because it has been weaponized by very bad people to delegitimize Jews and strip them of their history. It's an idea that gained traction in the 80's and 90's with David Duke and other Klansmen and neo-Nazis. It has really caught fire in recent years on the Internet and social media, mostly from some of the most overt anti-Semites and Jew haters you can find. I don’t know why Tucker was so fixated on this, and I'm certainly not saying he knew the origins of this conspiracy theory. I don't know what's in his heart or what he was thinking. But I do know that the discredited idea that most Ashkenazi or European Jews descended from the ancient Turkic kingdom of Khazaria is bunk. It's also been weaponized by people trying to deligitimize Jews, to strip them of their history, and to call them "imposters" or "fake Jews." This odious conspiracy theory is peddled by the likes of Candace Owens and Nick Fuentes and by people who love David Duke, as well as Islamist accounts that make up false smears about Israel non-stop and are run out of countries like Pakistan and Turkey. But we know from genetics and rich volumes of written literature that the Jews of today can trace their lineage back thousands of years to the Israel and the Jewish people of the Bible. They are as connected together as genetics tell us that the ancient Khazar kingdom is to people living today in Turkey. And if Tucker wants to tour more than Ben-Gurion Airport on his next trip to Israel, I'm happy to show him places where Jews have lived going back to the time of Jesus Christ and even earlier. I sincerely hope Tucker will let me know when he actually wants to learn facts about the land and people. Asking me about conspiracy theories should remain on the fringes and not be the heart of the conversation.

Kirk Cousins breaks down how complex NFL defenses have gotten, via @TheFFWPodcast: "The first time I've ever seen a coverage disguised as well as I saw this year is Seattle."

Reflecting on a great day in Seattle. Lots of great memories, but this might be my favorite. Thanks to JSN for being so kind to Jack and Katie.

@WhiteHouse never fails another day & another distraction we’re an embarrassment

@hawkmania4 Barner and Arroyo development is the most intriguing. I’m hoping we get them more redzone targets.

#Seahawks OC Brian Fleury on what works and true to his philosophy: "Starting to dive into what Klint [Kubiak] that he did this year and see what we can keep, implement and grow." Then says: "The people who can run in the end zone have success." Fleury says he hopes to keep what Klint Kibiak philosophy was here in Seattle. That's GOOD. [📷: Seahawks Press Pass]

@hawkmania4 worth every penny

#Seahawk Jaxon Smith-Njigba projected market value, per Spotrac:

@_Tariqwoolen it’s too early for this shit Riq

One week ago today, we became Super Bowl champs. 💍

Kyrie don’t back track like y’all’s favorite player “Stephen A Smith ain’t deserve them $100M’s”

Can you imagine if this happens and you have a player like Wemby coming out the draft… Most small market teams gonna be the Oakland A’s in free agency

Y’all look amazing when it’s working, but the team can’t have any true leaders if this finger pointing continues.

Massad > Black SUV’s Gotta make sure them checks stay clearing

I 1000% trust Mike fact that Fleury impressed him that quick is reassuring Barner and Arroyo 📈

it’s happening

@FeelLikePeno Diggs chef w/ the bbl was in Jobe’s ear the night before #justiceforcardib
