A personal news update: Next Tuesday will be my last day at WFAA. It’s the end of my time in a profession that has provided me with amazing opportunities, but I’m incredibly excited about the future. I’ll still be watching, reading and cheering from the sidelines.

We're all paying the price after Republicans increased the cost of living - look no further than an order at Waffle House.

Just a reminder Mizzou is without its starting pass rushers today and its best offensive player
Sources: Missouri will be without starting edges Darris Smith (lower body) and Langden Kitchen (lower body) against Florida on Saturday. Smith had 2.0 TFLs in three games and 5.5 TFLs last year. Kitchen started four games and had 3.0 TFLs and 8 pressures this year.

Already out of date: 21 carries for 203 yards and 3 for Roberts. Left no doubt
Jadan Baugh - 12 carries for 13 yards Jamal Roberts - 20 carries for 123 and 2 TDs Mizzou’s backup is better than Florida’s Heisman candidate

The thing is you know even with Hardy the 3rd and 3 is still a pass. Drink always out thinks himself. This game could not have been more poorly mismanaged in the 4th quarter. Truly on autopilot in the worst way
This is when I really really wish we had Ahmad Hardy. With that said, finish this drive.

The decision to throw twice when you had a 3rd and 3 and have been running well in the second half absolutely needs to be questioned aggressively. Just insane play calling

So, just the line play, in general. I think 3 guys could've blocked that field goal.
The run blocking so far is... concerning.

This will be sick for Mizzou‘s only two night home games against…Arkansas Pine Bluff and Kentucky
Ready to rock? There’s a new spotlight on Memorial Stadium this season. 🎟️: tinyurl.com/kickoffincomo

The average American now spends 48 minutes a day trying to log into things. OK I just made that up but it does feel like a lot! My story on why we're in password hell: theatlantic.com/technology/2…

Don’t need AI to tell me my worldview is “long suffering Mizzou sports fan”
Building a thing where people can upload their tweet archive. Then an AI describes the person’s core worldview sans labels. Then the descriptions are embedded and plotted. Then we can have a political compass, where you see who is near you, but your neighborhood goes unlabeled.

With only a couple exceptions, this list is pretty much “what percent of your city’s residents grew up there”. Probably even more impactful than “do you have any other pro sports”
Nielsen just released its first-ever NFL Fandom Index, which ranks how avid NFL fans are in each team market based on 8 key metrics: -- Apparel purchases -- Event attendance -- Linear TV viewership -- Streaming -- Radio listening -- Betting intent -- Social media following -- General interest Unsurprising: Small markets generally outperform larger ones (Boston at 21 is a bit of a head-scratcher though)

Baker Botts advised Saronic Technologies on its newly announced development, Port Alpha, a more than $3 billion next-generation shipyard planned at the Port of Brownsville. The project represents one of the largest industrial investments in Texas. More: bakerbotts.com/news/2026/07/…

You’re telling me a team in Kansas City got an overly favorable call in a critical part of the game?!
Switzerland's Breel Embolo was given a second yellow card, which turned into a red card, after VAR review determined a mistaken identity infraction. Argentina's Leandro Paredes was initially booked for a foul in the play.

Has a team ever had an easier path to the World Cup semifinal than Argentina? Will get there (potentially) without facing a single top 15 team. Norway had two top 15 matchups before it left the group stage. Argentina played: 28 24 63 67 29 Next: 19 - Switzerland

The #USMNT can be proud of making the nation care about soccer but not much more. This team lost to the best two countries they played and beat one team ranked in the top 30. Tough to prove this is progress. Belgium exposed the gulf in class between them in every way

Hate all you want but the US came into tonight with a clear plan: Complete as many passes as possible while staying under 0.5xG and they are executing that plan flawlessly

The narrative that the card was overturned due to the Trump phone call seems to have done more harm than good in terms of international backlash. And it turns out the phone call was to just understand the card while it was already being reviewed
FWIW, 2 sources who told me the same thing: Trump called Infantino to understand the rules, didn’t make a specific ask & was told it was being independently reviewed "If Trump had put his thumb on the scale and achieved this result, he would have a field day bragging about it”
