When she was first elevated to this position, I searched for any references to Halligan being successful and therefore qualified for the job. I didn't find anything that showed that. Perhaps I'm wrong, but she seems wildly incompetent and just completely out of her league.

It's unethical pay-to-play corruption.

Zohran Mamdani. Will he be the host of @nbcsnl-mirror.bsky.social sometime this month or next month? Or will it just be a quick cameo this weekend? Inquiring minds want to know how the #SNL negotiations with @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social are going.

"Buffalo’s injury list is so long that when coach Sean McDermott sat down for his Wednesday news conference, he had to read it off a second time – and slowly – so reporters could log them all."

- Moving touchbacks to the 35-yard line has led to the return rate reaching 79%, the highest in 17 years - There have been 42 kick returns of at least 40 yards, the most through the first nine weeks of a season since 2012 - Scoring is up more than two points per game than at this point last season

The lack of empathy is astounding. He's ticked off about this. Someone will hear about it behind closed doors later on today. Being annoyed that someone else's personal health emergency is taking attention away from you is the essence of this man.

Fabulous playoff baseball. I am being entertained. I enjoy watching this. @mlb.com

I love Molly's headline. And I agree that this is one of the best Fall Classics to take place over the past quarter-century. @mlb.com officials must be thrilled with tonight's storylines.

The same pomos after each half inning for SCAM BUSTERS and for FEAR FACTOR and for WAKE UP BARSTOOL have convinced me all three programs sound like terrible television.
