The whole “women steal hoodies from men” thing is absolutely hilarious to me. Why? Because guess who has never, and will ever, have a hoodie stolen from them? Me. I’ll point you to the website where you can choose your size — every time.

It ain’t gonna be a next year….

His only wins are over Delaware and Wyoming.

From the jump I said this “Coach Prime” experiment at Colorado would only last 3 years and end with him quitting or the school realizing he’s not good. They just played in their second consecutive game where they blew a 14-0 lead. This will end soon. He’s 15-16 at Colorado.

Pro football has been one thing Trump cannot conquer. The league believes that “football is for everyone.” In a weird way, this move by the NFL — of all organizations — represents defiance and exemplifies the enduring relevance of democracy. carronjphillips.substack.com/p/conservati...

Seeing the reaction from supporters, truth tellers, and detractors from Shedeur Sanders’ pantomime interview compared to what Mac Jones said last night about Brock Purdy’s starting position should be the end of this discussion. Watch both clips. It’s right there for you.

so looking forward to this spectacular spectacle👇🚀👇💙💙

"Bad Bunny rebels against what this administration tries to define as “American.” Carron J. Phillips on the NFL’s smart choice to platform Bad Bunny in the face of violent racism. @carronjphillips.bsky.social

I want Bad Bunny to do to ICE what Kendrick Lamar did to Drake... 🤣 🔥 🎼 🏈 🎵 🔥 🎶 🤣

“Some conservatives are pissed about the halftime show, especially because most of them don’t know that Puerto Rico is a U.S. territory and its residents are U.S. citizens. Bad Bunny rebels against what this administration tries to define as “American.” contrarian.substack.com/p/conservati...

And just like that… Michigan beats ohio…AGAIN. G’nite Cleveland.

The world’s biggest annual sporting event will feature one of music’s biggest artists, which is how these things work. I wrote about how conservatives are going to hate Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl Halftime Show — and why that’s a good thing. @contrariannews.org contrarian.substack.com/p/conservati...

What if the only Heisman Trophy finalist in the Cleveland Browns’ QB Room balls out?

Saw some stuff from the Clippers media day. It felt like they weren’t prepared for this. Can’t help but to think that this morning’s new report shook them. All I know is: this story isn’t going away, and members of that organization used some interesting language today.

Dillon Gabriel could be about to take over in Cleveland. We’re waiting to see what’s going to happen with Lamar Jackson. And Shedeur and his daddy had the audacity to say no to Baltimore. It just writes itself, man.

Who had a worse night: James Franklin or “Coach Prime?” One blew a 14-0 lead at home, and has now lost 8 consecutive games to ranked teams. The other had a White Out (at night) and lost another big game in which his veteran QB couldn’t get it done on a big stage.

Colorado is 0-2 against BYU since December. “Coach Prime” has only beaten Delaware & Wyoming this season. Where did all the “fans” go? Y’all told me he was good enough to take over at FSU and for the Cowboys. What happened? He’s 15-15 in Boulder.

Kirby Smart can’t beat Bama. James Franklin can’t win big games. Everything changes, yet the same things stay the same.

For now, America is still a place where you can say whatever you want. But, for many of us, that was always a huge risk. Jimmy Kimmel’s situation proves the stakes have risen for everyone since they’re going after rich white men. @contrariannews.org contrarian.substack.com/p/the-war-ag...

His name was Peter. Shalise Manza Young shares his story.

📖 👨🏾‍🏫 Yup!

If you study the photo of Peter long enough, you see a man, one who somehow survived, who sat straight even after being whipped down. You see what this regime doesn’t want you to see: his humanity. contrarian.substack.com/p/what-you-s...

Alien: Earth started slow. But the second half of the first season was 🔥

And y’all said I was mean…

That one WNBA team is winning/is a whole lot better without ole girl, and the reigning champs just fired their coach after losing in the playoffs after a season that was filled with injuries. The drama.

Appointment viewing no longer exists—shoutout to fellow 80s babies who were always in front of the TV on Thursday night for “The Cosby Show”—but a growing number of people have Tuesdays at 9pm set as a reminder to watch @joshjohnsoncomedy.bsky.social’s newest set open.substack.com/pub/contrari...

Tylenol’s General Counsel today…

Those dudes @dvsn really took an adlib from a classic that came out in 2003, and turned it into a banger in 2025.

If Nick Bosa kneeled during the anthem due to recent events, would POTUS take issue with like he has in the past? Would he be called an “SOB?” Would be told to “shut up and tackle?” I wrote about. carronjphillips.substack.com/p/the-sports...

Against Jesse Minter's Chargers 😬

The Right has made their feelings clear about which athletes can speak out about political and social issues. The “separation between church and state” in this context is a case-by-case scenario determined by race, gender, and political affiliation. carronjphillips.substack.com/p/the-sports...

Michigan doesn’t play until we host terrible Wisc on 10/4. Our head coach is back after watching 2 games of an open-up offense. We can get healthy. We can TIGHEN UP (penalties, schemes, tackles, details). We could be 10-1 when we host ohio. HAIL! #GoBlue 〽️

Set your clocks to other schools getting mad that they didn’t get picked.

The Trump administration has attacked diversity programs, historical discussions of slavery, civil rights and more as he pressures civic institutions to de-emphasize race. Nikole Hannah-Jones, the creator of The 1619 Project, discusses what led to this movement. nyti.ms/4msq3x8
