A.J. Brown at the end of his youth camp in Allentown: "I love you all. I don't care what you hear out there. I love you all. You understand?"

@synthillating @lloydblankfein It’s a club and you’re not in it.

Was at the WH Correspondents dinner last night, a rare DC trip for me without a subpoena. On the positive side—was exciting, no one was killed, and ended early. I noted a new litmus for status among the gov’t elite—whether you were whisked away by secret service, or left to fend.

@Jerkstore2013 @lloydblankfein dude - when finance repeatedly privatizes gains and socializes losses, the people who supported and exploited that system should be treated like pariahs, not honored guests, imo God bless you

@synthillating @lloydblankfein Dude, besides being economically and financially illiterate, you’re nothing but an envy-saturated, useful idiot Marxist.

Ike is excited about the Eagles’ first-round pick, Makai Lemon. “I think he’ll be a great addition. He reminds me of Steve Smith Sr., one of the toughest receivers I ever went up against. I think Makai Lemon’s future is bright, and Eagles fans should be excited to have him.”

Cannot stop thinking about this from Makai Lemon last night… I have an overwhelming feeling that he is going to become a fan favorite in Philly. How could he not? “I ain’t do no playin” he said & I believe every word lol we’ve got ourselves a DOG

Jordan Mailata got emotional talking about how much Coach Stout means to him on and off the field 💚

@ianbremmer the country (military expenditure for 2023 roughly $10-$43.8B) which US (Pentagon is yet to pass an audit despite ~$1T annual budgets) officials designated as a top state sponsor of terrorism is the one that’s more committed to peace than the US and its blood thirsty “ally” 🇮🇱

iran said absolutely no talks unless the united states ends blockade. blockade still in place. iranian delegation en route to islamabad.

@ZBerm Howie’s a savage 😈

Lemon said he was on the phone with the Steelers when his phone came ringing, and he realized it was the Eagles. He said that signaled how badly the Eagles wanted him.

@shannonrwatts @RameshPonnuru "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable"

So anyone who works for a company or has a belief system or supports an ideology Hasan Piker disagrees with can be murdered with impunity? All based on based on association or assumption? No due process? No questions asked? This is disgusting, immoral and dangerous.

talks suspended, ceasefire now indefinite. trump edging closer to getting out of the war irrespective of outcomes in the region.

trump declaring victory in war with iran and deescalating is by far the smartest move he can make right now. would’ve been better weeks ago. but it’s welcome nonetheless.

@SportsCenter @AdamSchefter Norristown was about to find out how North Philly get down 🥶

Geno Auriemma exchanged words with Dawn Staley in the final seconds of South Carolina and UConn’s Final Four matchup.

@JasonKelce my @NFLPA president ✊🏽

This is interesting. It feels like it’s obvious that Frank retired because he was physically fighting through injuries and pain, and it got to a point that he no longer could play the game in an enjoyable, effective, or healthy way. The whole purpose of a signing bonus is to be a guarantee up front that insures a salary irregardless of performance metrics, or most importantly injuries that could compromise your career in the future. What makes this interesting is that Frank likely retired “voluntarily”, meaning, he wasn’t declared medically unfit to play by a doctor, which allows the team to ask for a prorated amount of his signing bonus back. Had he been medically deemed unfit to play football by a doctor before he retired, the team wouldn’t be able to recoup part of the signing bonus. Let me say this first, if a player truly just retires without reason, or because they’ve lost the desire to play, I completely get and acknowledge teams should be able to recoup compensation when players don’t fulfill there contractual obligations and agreements. However, Frank was known for being hurt and playing through injuries most players wouldn’t play through constantly. Broken foot, a torn pec, multiple knee injuries, back issues. There was always something, and I’m sure he was continuously dealing with multiple ailments to try and continue playing the game. His body clearly had deteriorated to a degree that made football no longer a viable option, physically, and probably mentally. In my opinion, the signing bonus is supposed to protect players from future physical ailments limiting their availability on the field, that’s one of the reasons you want more guaranteed money upfront. So while I get that the team has a right to ask for money back, in the spirit of the agreement, I think it’s bullshit Frank is being asked to return money. This was clearly a player that the game had physically taken its toll on, and his body was clearly no longer holding up to the rigors of the NFL. It wasn’t just some player deciding he didn’t want to play anymore, it wasn’t that simple, and these signing bonuses are there to protect players from the inevitable injuries they incur on the field.

@chamath @RoKhanna “Ultimately, the validity depends on whether one prioritizes tech elite concerns or broader working-class priorities; Palihapitiya’s view reflects the former but overlooks Khanna’s record on jobs, funding, and services that benefit the majority.”

@RoKhanna is an idiot. But when you arrogantly assume your seat is a lock, you think you can get away with being an idiot. He deserves to lose this upcoming election. He’s a terrible representative of Silicon Valley.

gavin newsom talking about israel as an apartheid state highlights just how dramatically american public opinion on israel has changed in the last couple years.

Also address Landon Dickerson’s plans, with recent indications that he will also be back for 2026. More here ⬇️

Lane Johnson just told me that he’s officially returning for a 14th season with the #Eagles. Having the future HOF right tackle will be key as HC Nick Sirianni alters the offense under new OC Sean Mannion in 2026. The Eagles will also have a new O-line coach after Jeff Stoutland resigned earlier this month. Johnson will lead a group that has had only one positional coach in the NFL. Chris Kuper will be taking over responsibilities as the scheme is likely to change. Johnson missed the final eight games of the season, including the playoff loss to the 49ers, with a Lisfranc foot injury. But he has continued his rehab as he works to regain full strength.
