Ohio State looks good, but how can you tell if they are any good when they insist on playing cupcakes like Michigan and Kent State?

Further Union Jack thoughts at halftime: 1) This game is seriously not good. Bad look in London. 2) Reed Harris for ASU is an absolute beast of a wide receiver. 3) The Kansas band has the lamest uniforms I've ever seen. Not even grade school level.
Union Jack Classic thoughts: 1) Wembley looks kick ass and great today. 2) 3 of the 6 pre-game people on Fox are favoring Kansas? Really? 3) Who was the woman Jimi Hendrixing the Star Spangled banner. She was not bad, but that should always be only a Jimi and Stevie Ray thing.

Oh my.....
A new sworn ethics complaint alleges Rep. Lauren Boebert had sex with three women on her staff, violating House rules. The complaint also alleges that Bobbert arranged a $200,000 payment to one of those women to stop her from filing an ethics complaint. coloradotimesrecorder.com/20…

This is a joke of an effort by Biggs. As @RobbieSherwood says, he has never done anything of note for AZ or the west. And, now suddenly, Biggs is proposing this at a time when the GOP led House is on permanent vacation. Just laughable. Biggs is pathetic.
Biggs fiddlefarted away 10 years in Congress and waits until his last few months to drop a bill. This is not a serious proposal. More like desperation.

Music icons Freddie Mercury and Madonna once rocked Wembley Stadium. On Saturday, @ASUFootball will have a chance to do the same on London’s grandest stage when it takes on Kansas in the Union Jack Classic. Our @adamkuninsports previews the Big 12 matchup. cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2026/…

RUMOR 🚨: Ferrari vai com tudo por Kimi Antonelli A Ferrari ofereceu à Mercedes US$ 90 milhões + Charles Leclerc. A Mercedes teria dito que aceitaria apenas os US$ 90 milhões.

While 7-year-old Yo-Yo Ma performs, JFK and Jackie look on from head table of a 1962 fundraising dinner for what became, after his assassination, the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts:

He’s literally sabotaging (and lying about) the Kennedy Center because a judge correctly ruled that the board didn’t have the authority to put Trump’s name on the building.
Trump: the Kennedy Center "was losing hundreds of millions" before I got involved. Reality: $40.7M surplus in FY2024. Since he took over: $23M projected deficit. He's not saving the Kennedy Center. He's the reason it needs saving. And he wants "recognition" for it.

Can @andybiggs4az tell us what kind of Character a person who begged the President for a Pardon after January 6th entails? Tell us the character of someone who knowingly supports a convicted felon and adjudicated r*pist? Remember when Andy Biggs sided with the 11 fraudulent Arizona electors that got pardons from the felon President? Can @RepAndyBiggsAZ tell us why a felon pardoning other felons is a good precedent for legislators to set? Answer those for me, then I may consider not voting for @GovernorHobbs again. Good luck! 👍🏼
Arizona deserves a real leader with character who will show up for them. Katie Hobbs has failed to be that governor. She won’t show up, she won’t debate, and she won’t defend her record. Just lies being funded by California money.

Is the Kennedy Center still there this morning?
Not to remove a tinfoil hat from under my seat, but let’s just say it’s not beyond Trump to try and damage the building in order to get permission to raze it, as he has wanted and been prevented from doing.

This is some of the dumbest shit I have ever seen. Pablo Torre did a fantastic original report on Balmer and the Clippers, but this has turned toward the insane and dangerous as to perversion of civil sports into criminal prosecution. Simply insane ands wrong.
One DOJ office went after FIFA, Terry Rozier and now the Clippers. @DavidPSamson says that should worry the ninth richest man alive: "Why? Because Ballmer is rich and famous. Because sports is... sexy."

Okay, we know the answer: @BuffaloBills fans are creating a tremendous home field environment in the new stadium, it is cacophonous - well done, Bills fans - also, I wonder if Brandon and @beane_mrs will again donate to animal rescue for every Bills TD scored at home, I hope so.
Buffalo was one of the two loudest road environments in which we played during my years with the @Raiders - will be interesting to see @BuffaloBills fans can create the same loud environment in the new stadium that they did in the old stadium.
