I liked it when the Republican Party knew how to be capitalists. If you’re scoring at home, this is fascism
CNBC: Colbert is a comedian. You keep talking about journalism and fairness in news, but we all remember Carson and Jay Leno giving Reagan the business. Where does that fit in?

Brian Kelly vs Tarkanian…
Kelly: let’s all be ethical, let’s follow the rules, yadda yadda
Tark: “9 out of 10 schools cheat. The other one is in last place.”
Which quote more accurately represents reality? 🤔

Brian Kelly said he got asked recently about how to skirt NIL rules/find a way around them, etc. But he thinks coaches have to be the "stewards" of the new collegiate model. "We've got to take the stand that transparency, consistency, ethics and morality are at the core of this."

That is year 30 covering the NBA in the books for me.
As I always say, I’m incredibly lucky to have the exact job I do and so much of that is due to the fans.
So, if you’ve watched our highlights at all, THANK YOU!
None of this is ever guaranteed, but I hope to see you all back here next season

Trump is staking our economy on Peter Navarro (or is it Ron Vera?) and saying GOP god Milton Friedman was wrong about free markets. Appreciate @justinwolfers.bsky.social anger level 😬🤬
The President said of the U.S. economy: "We are a department store, and we set the price. I meet with the companies, and then I set a fair price, what I consider to be a fair price, and they can pay it, or they don't have to pay it."
And then... I lost it.
And then... I lost it.
