Also tonight: An “exclusive” interview with Kristi Noem in which she’s seen “confronting” some guy being arrested and a tribute to Rubio that turns the Trump giving him a dozen jobs into a good thing, shows off “funny” AI-generated Rubio memes and ends with TD saying, “Marco Rubio we salute you.”
Tonight on the CBS Evening News, the 5-year anniversary of January 6 got 15 seconds of coverage 25 minutes into the show. The only pictures shown: Pardoned “defendants” marching through DC as Dokoupil said Trump accused Dems of “failing to prevent” J6 while “Jeffries accused Trump of “whitewashing.”

Chapel Hill will finish in the top ten wettest years on record despite an abnormally dry fall. The 8.66 inches departure from normal is almost entirely from 3 hours of rainfall in July from tropical depression Chantal.

The delivery and then explaining the joke is why he’ll never be president
JD Vance: "They are not sending their best. Omar Fateh was Ilehan [sic] Omar's candidate for mayor of Mogadishu-- I mean Minneapolis. Little Freudian slip there."

Forget the stupidity of the idea and actual messaging, I can’t get over how ugly and uneven the alignment of the plaques and framing looks.
President Donald Trump has added partisan and subjective plaques to a refashioned West Wing walkway he calls the Presidential Walk of Fame. The plaques include bombastic language, from “Sleepy Joe” Biden references to painting Republican icon Ronald Reagan as a fan of a young Trump.

Los Angeles Rams lose cybersquatting case against Rams.com domain
NFL team failed to convince panel that domain investor registered and used the domain in bad faith. The NFL's L.A. Rams team has lost a cybersquatting case it filed with World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) against the domain name rams.com. Domain name investor Frank Mardian, also known as "Maple Dots," acquired the domain for CAN 50,000 in November 2022. According to the response, a Turkish agency that represented a large company called Rams offered to acquire the domain early this year for $2 million.

You’re correct. The closest Bennett ever came was an 87-79 win at Minnesota on November 29, 2010.
You can probably count the number of times UVA scored 88 regulation points against P6 opponents in the Bennett era on one hand and have fingers left over.
Virginia went to Texas and won big 88-69

Hegseth: I watch that first strike live. At the Department of War, we got a lot of things to do so I did not stick around. Couple of hours later, I learned that commander had made -- which he had the complete authority to do, he made the correct decision to sink the boat and eliminated the threat.

I’m still thinking about the odds of missing a FG in the NFL by straight missing the ball. It might not be 1 in a million but given that no one seems to remember ever seeing it happen before, the odds are probably at least 1:300,000 over 30 seasons given average FG attempts per year

My kind of topic.
Wrote about arguably my favorite topic in all of sports: Jerry Jones spending $1.2 billion on a stadium built at the exact orientation so the sun shines directly into players eyes during the months when the Cowboys play football:
