@TheRayFlowers We've had our fantasy league since before the advent of the world wide web.

Dude, there is no one *under* 58 in our 12-team league! 😅🤣😂

Rams just traded for McDuffie and we out here doing this 5 minutes later. Unreal.

@keysersoze64 @D____Ford @49ersSportsTalk Trey Lance was the worst decision in franchise history, and it isn't close.
English

@D____Ford @49ersSportsTalk But I’m still gonna say that the “worst decision in franchise history” was letting Ronnie go way too soon. I firmly believe that with Lott still there, Alvin Harper doesn’t break free down the middle in ‘92.

If you see the headline:
“The #49ers have signed WR Alec Pierce to a 4Yr, $100M Deal”
What’s your reaction? 👀

@btymarketer @SaveAmericaNew Really? You think a midterm victory for Democrats means "permanent" Democratic rule? Seems a little panicky.
English

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 THUNE is saying we don’t have time to save our country from fraud and permanent Democratic rule. We don’t have time for anything else ‼️😱
How about cutting all those recesses short and making the time to represent the people. I think that’s your job. If America was a business model, THUNE would be fired already.

🚨BREAKING: Leader John Thune says he might NOT be able to allow a standing filibuster to pass voter ID and citizenship for elections because they don't have enough time
"We'll TALK about that IDEA and determine how they want to proceed."
"We will vote on the SAVE Act — but a talking filibuster has ramifications everybody needs to be aware of."
"We will have those discussions. That would tie the floor up, with unlimited debate and amendments."
"We have a lot we have to do."
80% SUPPORT THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
It’s time to send a LOUD message to the @SenateGOP .
If you believe Senate Republicans MUST bring the SAVE Act to a vote, drop a 👍 below.
Do you firmly support this?
A. Huge Yes
B. No
IF Yes, Give me a THUMBS-UP👍!!
MAKE THIS GO VIRAL ON 𝕏. LET’S GO 👏

When Lou Holtz became the coach at Notre Dame I was one of the biggest non-alum ND fans alive. While he provided some great moments and the last national title, when he left I was no longer a big fan.
The magic was gone for me, partly because, after making a deal with me (brokered through a mutual close friend) he reneged at the last moment on writing the foreword for a book I wrote about a high school football team where he grew up.
When that mutual close friend died of a heart attack, everyone presumed Lou Holtz would give the eulogy. I told them that Holtz wouldn’t even show up. Unfortunately, I was correct (his predecessor at Notre Dame, Gerry Faust, did show up and stayed until the very end).
Like most humans, Holtz was a complicated and imperfect person. He was very smart and talented. A master salesman and entertainer, who did a lot of good, bringing joy to millions of Americans, all while standing up for the country he loved.

There is never a good look for Trump

Not a good look for the President.

@MickMike76 @grantcohn Yes, with MONTANA (and Walsh's team).

And the Trump administration is genuinely surprised that their authoritarian, fascist and un-democratic governing is unpopular outside of the MAGA bubble.

DOJ redacted information necessary to identify who sent Epstein the “torture video email.”

@ModerateWill @chambleebrandel But yet you vote for a party that is allowing the same beliefs grow here in America. “Hate LIV, but free Palestine.”

A lot has been made about Brooks Koepka’s possible return to the PGA Tour, some even suggesting it should be made as convenient as possible for him given his popularity and success.
I certainly disagree with this.
Allowing Brooks Koepka to return to the PGA Tour with no consequence, would undermine the very meritocratic foundations that make the PGA Tour legitimate - not because of who he is, but because of what his return with signal.
This is not about retribution, it is about precedent.
If Koepka can leave, helping to destabilize the ecosystem by joining LIV golf, and then return instantly because of talent or popularity— the message is clear: rules are for the replaceable, not the exceptional.
This is corrosive.
LIV did not merely offer an alternative league, it fractured fields, diluted competitive meaning, triggered legal warfare, undermined sponsorship stability, and forced structural change across all of professional golf.
Koepka was not a passive bystander, he was a marquee legitimizer.
You don’t punish him for being influential, but you cannot pretend his influence didn’t matter. His credibility made LIV viable, his stature normalized defection and his success ( especially after joining LIV ) validated the disruption.
If success becomes a retroactive absolution, then the lesson is perverse: if you’re good enough consequences don’t apply.
This is the opposite of meritocracy.
A penalty would not so much be a punishment as it would be an acknowledgment of choice and the consequence does not need to be punitive to be meaningful.
He could be made to re-qualify for the PGA Tour ( his 5 year exemption for winning the PGA Championship for majors may stand but not for the PGA Tour)
He could have limited season eligibility and/or a suspension tied to prior contracted breach.
The players who stayed on the PGA Tour paid a price. They had to absorb the uncertainty, play in weaker fields, shoulder reputational risk and take on a greater responsibility of protecting the tour’s continuity.
Allowing a frictionless return privileges those who left over those who stayed, which reverses the moral order.
Forgiveness without cost is not reconciliation, it’s erasure.
Reintegration is appropriate.
Amnesia is not.
This isn’t about punishing Brooks Kopeka. It is about whether the PGA Tour believe commitments mean something. If elite players can destabilize the system, take guaranteed money and then return instantly because they are popular or successful, the message is that rules apply only to the expendable.
If excellence alone erases consequences then the PGA Tour ceases to be a meritocracy and becomes a marketplace of convenience.
Great players most certainly deserve respect, but institutions deserve protection.

@Danielle_Parker @ThePoniExpress Mike Webster didn't play defense. He was a center.
English

@ThePoniExpress And the defense needs to kick their own asses and remember what their predecessors did that made our team great.Use Harrison, Polamalu, Keisel, Greene, Lambert and Webster as a guide for how they should play. Get their passion back and stop worrying/listening to betting websites.

@darth_b2 @doug_clawson @Steelersdepot The organization refuses to draft or sign a long term decent quarterback.
English

@doug_clawson @Steelersdepot The ultimate embarrassment & shame Tomlin has brought to our once great franchise. This is exactly why I will never believe in him period! Look! At the damage this man has done to Steeler Nation. His regular season record & SB win can never erase this abomination
English

@Bibcilly @doug_clawson That's what happens when the organization refuses to get a quarterback.
English

@doug_clawson That's what happens when you consistently get a roster that doesn't belong in the playoofs to the playoffs...

@jalmeida12 @chambleebrandel How could you have been a Brandel fan? There’s no such thing.
English

@jalmeida12 @jrlaco11 @chambleebrandel The only thing wrong is the Saudi influence? You say that as if it's a side issue. The Saudi influence is why LIV is a worldwide gangster organization, and Koepka and the other LIV guys knew it.
English

@jrlaco11 @chambleebrandel His argument is completely invalid. The only thing “wrong” with LIV is the Saudi influence. Everything else, I stand with the players 1000%!
The PGA Tour was clearly screwing the players over, and if you don’t believe they were, please explain where all of this purse $ is from?
