…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

Monday’s press conference certainly was not the first time Blake Butera had been asked about his age. It certainly will not be the last.

No one seemed to be more aware of that than Butera, who didn’t seem to mind as he spoke about being himself:
The Nats’ 33-year-old manager knows the questions are coming
“When you talk with players and work with players, I think the last thing they look at is how old or young somebody might be,” Nationals Manager Blake Butera said Monday.

I was in Hartford yesterday for UConn's rout of Ohio State. The defending champions aren't just deeper but are more versatile than they've been in years.

For @nbc-sports.bsky.social, I explain why the Huskies are playing a style much more reliant on pace, space and length post Paige Bueckers.
UConn’s Reinvention: How depth and modern basketball are fueling a repeat push
UConn’s 100–68 win over Ohio State on Sunday showcased the Huskies’ evolution without Paige Bueckers, and their potential to make another deep run.
