Letting Kobe keep a record out of sentimentality would be ultimately disrespect for the thing Kobe Bryant most stood for, being an unrepentant competition monster.

This is the funniest shit Trump has done to his own staff. The fact that the guys go along with it explains why they are on Trump's staff.

I was in Paris in 2022 when UEFA held the Champions League final there after moving it out of St. Petersburg. Russia is still banned from competitions. Keeping the World Cup here is a choice.

Sportswriters would tell us not to take anything a team says too seriously close to the trade deadline.

This appeared a couple hours before stock futures opened.

There's a Streisand Effect element to this. The issue of the hat would not have fully crystallized for me except that Fox decided to help.

Some people might be mad at anchors for asking qs like this but I’m glad they are: see what lawmakers say in response. It’s not like Jake tapper is gonna ask: do you think it’s dumb that people would accuse you of that

In fact that would be a worse question

Before the start of a middle school bowling meet here in Wisconsin, everyone in the alley takes their hat off for whatever version of the national anthem the person running the thing can find on YouTube.

I have built my media law syllabus the past few Spring semsters to cover campaign finance in the week before the Supreme Court election, framed around all the stuff the students have been seeing.

It has been so quiet that I'm not convinced many of them will know there's an election this time.
