The past couple days have made it clear that arresting and prosecuting Johnathan Ross isn’t just the right thing to do, it is necessary to prevent future violence by ICE who have interpreted the situation as “we can do that to whoever we want”
A woman recording an ICE agent tells him "Shame on you."
The agent responds, "Have you all not learned from the past couple of days?"
"Learned what?" she asks
Then he knocks her phone out of her hand

I will say, if it’s Bears-Eagles next week, I think the Eagles D will be very fired up not to get destroyed on the ground again

Agreed all around. Doc has never been afraid to speak up on issues like this, which is commendable and I’d imagine earns him a lot of respect from his players too

Kudos to Doc and Kerr for speaking out this strongly.
It’s a shame they have more of a backbone than most politicians, but kudos nonetheless.

Barring injury, Kevin Durant is likely going to retire as the fourth-highest scorer in NBA history *at worst*.
Depending on how long he plays, he still has an outside shot of cracking the top three.

Tonight was the Wizards’ 37th game of the year.
Gotta ditch pick protections entirely if you want to stop teams from tanking to avoid conveying a pick.

Much like last year, if we have to sacrifice the Sixers in January for the Eagles… so be it
The Sixers shot 5.9% (1-for-17) from 3PT in the first half tonight vs. Orlando.
That's their worst 3PT% in a half since Feb. 4, 2021, when they shot 0% (0-for-10) in the first half against the Portland Trail Blazers.

This morning, Ms. Rachel and I visited District 2 Pre-K Center, where we sang and read with the wonderful students and educators. We also discussed universal childcare - and how we're making it happen for NYC!

AD's injury might be a blessing in disguise for the Mavericks. This is the last year they control their first-round pick until 2031. This might be their best shot at landing a co-star for Cooper Flagg who's on the same timeline.
They're only three games ahead of WAS for the 4th-worst record...

Dallas Mavericks star Anthony Davis has sustained ligament damage in his left hand, sources tell me and @BannedMacMahon. Depending on second opinion and if surgery is required, Davis could miss a number of months.
