In eight career games against Tampa, Pitts now has 44 catches for 629 yards and 6 TDs!

Add in the Jags and Dolphins and the former #Gators star has played 12 games against Florida teams and gone for 64 rec, 898 yards, and 6 TDs.

Seems like Florida brings out the best in him.

Kyle Pitts, have a freaking day. He came into tonight with more catches, yards, and TDs against Tampa than against any team. Back in Florida, he's doing it again to the Bucs.

This week's #Gators in the NFL dives into Anthony Richardson's no good, very bad, lost season. I may be one of the only ones left who still believes he can be a good quarterback in the NFL, but the odds are stacking up against him.

If the #Gators were merely a mediocre shooting team, they would have three wins over Final Four caliber teams. But they're 0-3 in those games because outside of Haugh, every perimeter shot is a brick and lots near the rim are too. They battle and fight and can play with anyone. Just can't shoot.

A really rough situation to be thrown in on a couple different levels. Only the best of the best shine in that situation. Laura crushed it.
(Laura's a goddamn pro and handled that, like she does everything, like a champ ofc)

Virginia had Manny Diaz right where they wanted him. And he delivered some epic late game management right on cue.

I'm not sure it's in the self interest of America's tech bro billionaires to suggest that we bring back public executions to punish the most destructive people in our society.
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

“It's time to bring back masculine leadership to protect our most vulnerable,” writes Joe Lonsdale.

This is where Silicon Valley authoritarianism is heading:

Bongino saying the quiet--and cynical--part out loud.

In other words: I was making money shoveling conspiracy bullshit without having any facts and conning my audience to make a buck. After I leave the FBI, I will get back to that.

What a confession.

Dike leads the league in all purpose yards by a pretty hefty margin. Second punt return TD in a few weeks. He’ll be first-team All Pro. Incredible season for #Gators rookie.

Made from 67 earlier this season but it was negated by a timeout. Money Mac settles for 63 today. Pineiro is about for a couple weeks but he hasn’t missed a FG all season. Trey Smack will join them in the NFL next year. #Gators kickers have been the only football bright spot for about a decade.

This has the makings of one of the worst beat downs ever at the Swamp and certainly the worst loss ever to the Vols.

The best podcast going nails another evil fraud’s pelt to the wall
PTFO collaborated with @msjpauly.bsky.social and @motherjones.com on an investigation into Riley Gaines.

Riley’s messaging about trans athletes involves “predatory men” and “sexual assault.”

But there’s an important story multiple ex-teammates at Kentucky want you to know: youtu.be/iKUl8lkuGOc?...

Bingo.

And imagine the Democratic politician who said this did so as he sat next to the podcaster's assassin whom he reminded everyone was his close personal friend
Imagine if a Democratic politician said “a lot of people didn’t like him” with respect to that assassinated podcaster. Seriously.

This week’s #Gators in the NFL ponders if Ceedy Duce learned anything from his tumultuous past few weeks. And you might have missed it but a Bulldog threw a punch at a Gator the day after the refs stole the Cocktail party for Uga.
