Legalizing Cocaine Is the Only Way to End the Drug War
The war on drugs has failed, and Trump’s deadly boat strikes are only doubling down on decades of failed policy.

You know who else was indicted out of the Southern District of New York following an investigation that was primarily conducted during the first Trump administration (and then convicted by a federal jury and sentenced to 45 years in prison)?

This is the story of another guy indicted in the Southern District of New York, who Trump just pardoned. One of Trump's personal lawyers and appointee was even part of the prosecution! donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

The biggest hypocrite of the Lane Kiffin saga is not Lane himself. It's Jeff Landry, who pretended he was going to take on the buyout industrial complex and then did the opposite. Maybe, one day, an SEC or Big Ten governor will have the courage of their convictions on this slate.com/culture/2025...

Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry’s shamelessness really stands out.

Penn State’s AD managed to generate hundreds of thousands of dollars in annual tithing increases for the LDS church in like 24 hours. That’s more than most people can pull off on an entire 2 year mission

extremely funny that the Penn State turmoil is happening on the same day that James Franklin is flipping multiple blue chip former Penn State commits with spectacular names
okay maybe James Franklin hasn't lost it because he just signed a gigantic offensive lineman named Roseby "Purgatory" Lubintus

for going on ten years, every time the College Football Playoff chair tries to explain why they ranked the teams the way they did, their answers somehow make it less clear
CFP chair Hunter Yurachek: "We're not comparing Notre Dame and Miami side-by-side." Says the grouping has mostly been Alabama, Notre Dame, BYU and Miami, so that one H2H result is one of multiple factors at play.

They always were, and I talk about it at length in that article up there.

Stands to reason that the human polls (and now, the committee) would be more swayed by tradition and narrative. Computers don’t care about your reputation!
The computers being slightly more friendly to the non-power schools is an odd realization.

We were so mean to those sweet little computers.
They had no conflicts of interest. They had no takes. They weren’t athletic directors with a million other job responsibilities. They just wanted to give us football numbers and we hated them for it

Everyone: We need to fire our coach and hire The Next Cignetti

Also everyone: Cignetti's JMU replacement has the same track record, including quickly rebuilding JMU after Cignetti left, but let's leave him to UCLA while looking elsewhere. Elsewhere could be anything, maybe even The Next Cignetti

I like that the "woo yay chaos, Duke destroy the ACC and get JMU in while #10.1 Miami misses again" thing requires simply placing faith in that most stable of elements: Duke football

Tbh I didn't think the committee would paint itself into this corner by ranking JMU tonight. We're really doing this

If BYU wins, Notre Dame misses (unless Bama gets blown out badly or something). Mormons vs Catholics proxy war. Also if the committee finally swaps Miami and Notre Dame right at the end, when they're the first two teams out anyway, Sebastian the Ibis is allowed to commit one crime for free

If Virginia, JMU, and UNLV lose, perhaps the world would rather see a 10-3 Kennesaw State than an 8-5 Duke. We had to play Indiana you know. Did Duke have to play Indiana
Just had a conclave w/ @jasonkirk.fyi and I'm ready to release the following probability: The Playoff chances of the 9-3 Kennesaw State Owls are lower than 1% but considerably higher than 0.0%

Hey signing day is tomorrow. By the time Penn State ends its eight-week search and hires a coach, ~90% of this class will have signed elsewhere, maybe including four of these five commits. (These four could go to Virginia Tech, which could give VT its first top-25 class since 2018)

Duke can now reach levels of ACC previously thought impossible
JMU is ranked!!!! at No. 25.

That means two Group of 5 champions could make the field if 7-5 Duke wins the ACC title game!!!
