That’s the definition of white privilege.
Benefit of the doubt
Person of color gets vilified on every show streamed or broadcasted?

NFL teams will have to separate the player's talent from the gambling controversy and decide whether the risk is worth taking.

He still has a court date in Feb. right?
Or is that absolute now?
Smartest move for Sorsby to go this route instead of fighting the NCAA stuff. Still tough for any NFL team to roll the dice though..... not with the sports betting admission and all the protect the integrity of the game talk. UFL could be the better first step 🤷♂️

To be honest, what @nfl team can trust him to not bet on his #NFL team. His attorney’s have already established that he could have mental issues if not able to do what he wants to do.

OMG why would they do that? White privilege abounds.
According to the board chair, Texas Tech will not seek the return of Brendan Sorsby's NIL money 💰

Statistics are all over the industry and we talking semantics… the data shows they led in a lot of categories in all 5 games. Dominated in all but two.
1. Double Brunson w the yg legs make someone else beat you.
2. Call a TO when the lead drops 8pts.
22-14

up 5 down 3
A horse with a great opening kick, that always wears down and gets caught at the wire didn’t dominate a race.
That’s what the Spurs were. A GREAT 1st quarter team that simply couldn’t finish. The idea that they “dominated” big stretches of the series is delusional.

They already agreed to not have a nuclear weapon in the deal you tore up. Having nuclear power fuels a lot of things other than weapons.
Unprovoked war is just craziness.
They were being watched…
"Iran has agreed to never have a Nuclear Weapon! Also, the story that the U.S. is paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!" - President Donald J. Trump

The U.S. government just made a land deal with the world's first trillionaire. Not a sale. A trade.
Because apparently that's how we do things now.
715 acres of the Lower Rio Grande Valley National Wildlife Refuge - built by Congress in 1979 to protect one of the most biodiverse wildlife corridors left in North America - handed to SpaceX.
Endangered ocelots. Aplomado falcons. Piping plovers. Land the Carrizo/Comecrudo Nation of Texas has called sacred since long before there was a United States.
SpaceX built a rocket launch site next door. Then came the explosions. Concrete and metal hurled six miles across refuge land. A 2024 study found that after one launch, every single monitored shorebird nest near the site suffered egg damage or loss. The Fish and Wildlife Service's response was not enforcement. It was a land swap.
FOIA documents show internal planning for this transfer started as early as April 2025 - while Musk was running DOGE and threatening to fire federal workers who didn't justify their jobs to him. The agency developed what they called "the most expedited schedule possible" to get it done.
Part of what's being handed over includes the Palmito Ranch Battlefield - the site of the last battle of the Civil War. A National Historic Landmark. Once transferred, SpaceX can restrict public access whenever they want.
25,000 people submitted public comments. Most opposed the deal. The government moved forward anyway.
A coalition of tribal and conservation groups filed a federal lawsuit this week to stop it. Because someone has to.
Why are we cutting real estate deals with a trillionaire when we could have just made him pay for it?

→ The full breakdown of what's in this land swap - the acreage, the wildlife, the 25,000 public comments that got ignored, and who's suing to stop it. Outdoor Life did the math and it doesn't add up:

If you study w a master go down low & use your footwork. You should have lived in the Hakeem zone! Lived!
Floating around the perimeter w 25 fters & bypassing rebounds & and 1… tragic!
Posting & calling for the ball until a teammate or coach notices…priceless.

Barack and I were so honored to have @AkunyiliCrosby create our portrait for the Obama Presidential Center. Her artistic brilliance shines through — and the way she infused such life and joy into the piece is truly extraordinary. We love it, and we think everyone who visits the Center will too!

FTP: LAPD killed her dog. He was wearing his Knicks jersey.
His name was Jameson. A golden doodle. One of the sweetest, most gentle breeds alive.
A neighbor called a noise complaint. That's it.
20 officers showed up. Then a helicopter. For a noise complaint in an apartment complex.
And they shot Jameson dead. In front of his owner. In front of her child.
No warning. No de-escalation. Nothing.
The media is barely covering this. No headlines. No outrage.
Like it never happened.
If this was your dog... your child watching... how would you feel?
Jameson deserved better. That little boy deserved better. His mama deserved better.
