Sean Duffy: "The No Kings protest, Maria, really frustrating. This is part of antifa, paid protesters. It begs the question who's funding it."

A recurring problem inside the Dolphins building — Tua said some players have been late to player-led meetings this season, and some have missed meetings

“There’s a lot that goes into that — do we have to make this mandatory?”

Notes (cont.)
- We hate to see Dabo win

- Notre Dame does what they do best; climb the rankings on the backs of inferior opponents

- Texas is still somehow pulling in enough points to unofficially be AP's no.27 team but outside of Ohio St. their opponents are 3-17.

Sicko Spartan @cmmatthes.bsky.social · 4d

Notes:
- Penn St exists solely to give other B1G teams signature wins. What an embarrassment.

- Speaking of embarrassments: UNC ladies and gentlemen. That buyout is going to be fun for them

- The U is back this time for real! (probably, maybe, possibly)

- Michigan stacking mid-tier Ws shocker

This was such a loser mentality playcall. They need to pack it up

Dolphins punt with 1:03 left and three timeouts remaining. Mike McDaniel betting on his defense to get a stop -- tough ask when they're allowing 8.5 yards per carry

Has anyone checked to see Ross' patience has run out or is he going to keep serving Dolphins' fans slop?

Will ICE get paid during the shutdown? Will they get the ridiculous perks ($50k sign on bonuses and student loan forgiveness)? Asking out of pure ignorance and potentially excitement.

Spent the last decade reading conservative blogs use the word "Orwellian" more than they used the word "the" and now they're literally just saying "War is Peace" out loud in front of everybody.

Hegseth: "As history teaches us, the only people who actually deserve peace and those who are willing to wage war to defend it. That's why pacifism is so naive and dangerous."
