Inside ICE’s Only Contract with a Blue State - Bolts As part of a 287(g) contract between state officials and ICE, Massachusetts continues to release prisoners into deportation—even as state lawmakers look to ban other forms of ICE collaboration.

Why should you care that Massachusetts transfers so many people with felony convictions to ICE?

I tried to answer that question here: boltsmag.org/massachusett...

Between Tarik Skubal and Las Vegas, what a night for Aces

My friends and I like to make fun of mlb a lot but having 3 do-or-die games in one afternoon/evening is awesome

Good quarterback play in prime time >>>

Bowing to the pressure of the government is totally normal right now

Loved @jarrettbell.bsky.social with the walk and talk alongside Baker Mayfield. Really great insight.

Opinion: NFL's suspension of kicker Justin Tucker is essentially a guilty verdict The NFL handed down a 10-week suspension to Justin Tucker following an investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by the ex-Ravens kicker.

The NFL suspended Justin Tucker for 10 games. Given the league’s disregard for women, that speaks volumes. Good one from @boombaca.bsky.social

They type of headline my haters hate to see when they think I'm down

Remembering being at Roland Garros w @danwolken.bsky.social to watch Nadal-Alcaraz on a Saturday night during the Olympics.

The NFL will announce select games ahead of Wednesday's 2025 regular-season schedule release during these programs/on these platforms.

Next week are the various advertising upfronts in New York that often feature substantive announces to excite investment.

In 'The Art of Winning,' Bill Belichick focuses on his true loves Bill Belichick's memoir "The Art of Winning" doesn't delve into any controversy or romance but instead focuses on his love of coaching football.

I already read and reviewed Bill Belichick’s book

Man, if I'm Shedeur, I'm on the phone with the UFL. There's gotta be enough cash in the coffers to make it palatable. You've controlled the narrative the entire time until now. Take it back. The league looks silly, lean all the way into clowning them back.

Big if true

shough going before shedeur: not that crazy

shedeur not being drafted in round 2: a little crazy but not completely indefensible

shedeur not being drafted day 2???? wild as a muthafucka man

Mel Kiper Jr. loves Shedeur Sanders. Like really, really loves him.

i'm not saying i'm smarter than nfl gms i just don't know why they do dumb things

Give our NFL crew a follow!

Kelce: "So I don’t think that you’re going to see that many injuries on it." (3/3)

Kelce cont'd: "I think the Giants, unfortunately, had a couple guys go down. I think if you look, I'd be interested to see what stats say about injuries on the play. It’s a very grueling play, but it’s so tight-quartered that it doesn’t allow for high impacts." (2/3)

The argument for banning the tush push in the name of player safety is not done in good faith, IMO. Here's what Jason Kelce told me about it in October 2023 as the Eagles were really starting to roll with it: "If you look across the league, it’s really not a high-injury play." (1/3)

Stephen A. Smith, LeBron James refuse to let it go. Why are we watching this train wreck? LeBron James and ESPN's Stephen A. Smith have been engaged in a bitter feud that's gotten out of hand. The big question is: Why do we care?
