punting on 2nd and 3 at the opponent’s 20 is something we will never ever see in football, because if a coach was trying to throw a game there are many more subtle ways of doing so. this is probably the closest thing to that we’re likely to see

Sick to my stomach
The #Cavs lose 120-119 on a Tyrese Haliburton game-winning three. Unreal.

As it stands Trump’s blanket 10% tariffs are still estimated to cost the average U.S. household roughly $1,500 per year, according to the Center for American Progress. And that doesn’t include the 125% tariffs on China and other additional levies.

This is driving me crazy too. Not long ago 10% universal tariffs were considered the worst-case scenario, something even Trump wasn’t crazy enough to impose. Now have those PLUS 125% tariffs on China. Together, these raise raise inflation by about as much as original “Liberation Day” tariffs did!
why is *every* newspaper/programme running with the headline "tariffs are paused" when they haven't been.

What's happened is that every country (except China) gets a flat rate of 10% for 90 days.

The easier you make it to watch your games, the more people will watch.

NCAA Tournament viewership continues to boom. This is the fourth straight year with some kind of viewership record.

Which is why you can't say a lack of upsets and more big schools helped viewership. That applies in the later rounds, but not early on.

This guy has "Democratic Strategist" in his bio and now it's making sense how Harris lost.

A Cavaliers vs. Thunder Finals matchup would feed families. Give the nation what it wants.
