I don’t understand declining to play in a bowl game. I knew precisely when the last time I would put shoulder pads on and line up against men, and I can say I’ve never cherished anything in the moment more than I did those final 3 hours. What about the guys who will never suit up again? #ND #KAU

Notre Dame should just annually schedule all the service academies. You don’t need to play tough competition. If the Irish go 12-0, no matter the schedule, they’ll be in. So, just go full cupcake city

I know we don't have the bracket yet ... but I'm pretty comfortable saying I expect this year's national champion to be Ohio State, Indiana or Georgia.

Here’s your friendly reminder that 9 out of 10 times the BCS was perfect. This would be one of those times where it wasn’t. How exciting would the following be:
1. Indiana v 4. Texas A&M
2. Georgia v 3. Texas Tech

I’ve had Indiana as the best team in the country since they went to Eugene and won. Not surprised. Clear favorite heading into the playoff.

Alabama has to be in no matter what. Doesn’t matter if they get boat raced. You can’t leave a power conference team out that definitively would have been in the playoff had they not made their conference title game. That precedent would be perilous and impossible to walk back.

This is exactly what churches should be doing, calling out injustice.
📌 Lake Street Church Nativity: a bold social justice statement with ICE-like Roman soldiers, the Virgin Mary in a gas mask, baby Jesus zip-tied, Joseph on the ground, pushing viewers to think about immigration.

BERMAN: Would it be legal for police in Arkansas to kill suspected drug dealers on a boat in a lake?
TOM COTTON: The premise of your question is not well-founded
BERMAN: The answer is no. It would not be legal to kill them.

Love this and her, but Fox’s coverage is cartoonish. Unless they’re pivoting away from the Alexi Lalas approach, it’s hard for me to see how she fits in. Maybe an additional show (daily evening recap) with actual tactical analysis, interviews, and setting the stage for next day’s action?
Acclaimed host Rebecca Lowe will be a part of Fox's World Cup coverage.

Lane Kiffin’s career peaked this past Friday. Watching this thing disintegrate in Baton Rouge in the next few years is doing to be entertaining to say the least. Terrible fit.

The thing I don’t understand is Lane leaving his current school early to presumably have a chance to do at his new school what he would have a chance to do next month at his current schools. Math ain’t mathin
Kirk Herbstreit implores Ole Miss administrators to allow Lane Kiffin to coach the Rebels — if he leaves for LSU — and let him finish what he and his players started.

The answers in these replies are a complete 180 from these same questions regarding women’s sports. I just find that interesting.
I’m getting 4-6 yards, btw.

Rape is the distillation of the far-right worldview that Trump embodies: a gleefully sadistic act of domination carried out as fulfillment of a supposedly natural hierarchy. It would be weird if Trump wasn’t a rapist, given his ideological commitments—which is before you get to all the accusations.
i mean c’mon. the president’s best friend was the most notorious pedo in the country’s history who ran a massive child trafficking ring. every bit of circumstantial evidence we have says that trump was a participant. if this were a criminal trial we’d have enough evidence to compel a plea deal.
