An enterprising reporter like @marisakabas.bsky.social or someone should find the list of every WH press pool reporter who was on the plane and ask them why they did not stick up for the Bloomberg reporter Trump called “piggy”
Not a single reporter in the press pool defends their colleague from this disgusting sexism—which says a lot about the press pool

I'm not sure exactly what I expected an asteroid impact would look like, but "giant psychedelic space spiderweb" definitely was not it.
All those science fiction movies, and none of them managed to capture the real strangeness of a collision with an asteroid.

They're also valuable because the players you use those picks on, including busts and guys who end up on IR, are cost-controlled. Your first round pick being injured is probably something you can work around. A player with Sauce Gardner's contract getting injured can be catastrophic.

If titans wind up with number 1 pick again hmmm
THREE future first round picks for the Jets! The future will be a paradise! There is no way a team with THREE FIRST ROUND PICKS can fail! Not even the Jets! I don't remember 2021 or 2022. I am a talking hummingbird!
Expected trade summary, per Jay Glazer:
Cowboys get - DT Quinnen Williams
Jets get - 2026 2nd-round pick, 2027 1st-round pick
