If you're at the airport and Kristi Noem is doing the ominous little message from the TSA screens, you no longer have to do anything she says. Leave your laptop in the case, whatever.

Remember when Spurs had a manager that won them a European trophy?

So was there any celebrating of the team that was actually present?

Her arms look pretty buff. Must be from pulling ladders up behind her.

I'm going to go with "Dunkin has served iced coffee for over 30 years with zero deaths."

Read farther into Law 12.
"... by committing an offense which was an attempt to play the ball or a challenge for the ball and the referee awards a penalty kick."

Sounds like a Russian surname. I wonder if that helped matters?

Kansas Sends Letters To Trans People Demanding The Immediate Surrender Of Drivers Licenses "The legislature did not include a grace period."

"I'm fully accepting of trans people, but I'm really concerned about 'fairness' in women's sports."

If that was you, congratulations on getting the ball rolling toward modern day Nuremberg Laws, because it was never about sports.

Should we be pissed off that Kash Patel is never doing his actual f*cking job, or relieved that he's never around to make things worse?

Zero leads on where Savannah Guthrie's mother is right now, but glad to see Kash Patel has so much free time in his schedule.

I've always wondered how you get into such a sport as a beginner. I mean, even at novice levels, you're going to be airborne every time.

Could sports media stop referring to the Miracle on Ice as a "semifinal game?" It was a round robin matchup between the teams that finished in the top two in group play.

"Briefly" is true in a geologic sense.

The Seahawks have to say "12s" because Texas A&M would haul them into court tomorrow if they say "12th Man."

The NFL statisticians heard my sternly worded complaint and changed Seattle's defensive TD from a fumble to an interception.

Remember, everyone "not watching" this halftime show will somehow have all the opinions about it tomorrow.
