Today we celebrate Alysa Liu, Olympic gold medalist and daughter of a political refugee who came to the U.S. seeking safety and opportunity. Refugees strengthen our communities — as neighbors, leaders, and even champions. When we invest in belonging, we all rise.

Second straight Super Bowl in which a dude named Drake has been mercilessly bullied

legit said to my dad “I wonder if they really got married” and got so hype when I saw this tweet. So damn cool.

Drake Maye looks like Patrick Mahomes out there* *from the Super Bowl where he played against the Bucs

Man, the end of that got me in my feelings. Well done, Benito.

Shirley Povich writing in 1962, with the most immaculate burn conceivable of the Redskins awful, vile owner George Preston Marshall, the last NFL owner to insist on an all white roster: "Jim Brown, born ineligible to play for the Redskins, integrated their end zone three times yesterday." RIP WaPo.

Aussie Open men’s final: This has absolutely felt like the tournament of destiny for Novak. He gets the free pass in R16, dodges a massive bullet vs. Musetti, takes down Sinner because he’s not worn down by the tournament grind and is able to actually play his game, and faces likely a <100% Carlos.

That was a heck of a tiebreak. Not a single point went against the server till the very last one, and that razor thin margin means a two sets to love lead for Alcaraz.

The removal of Bovino doesn't mean anything has necessarily changed (yet) in the Twin Cities. I confirmed yesterday that lawfully present refugees are still getting arrested, some sent to Texas.

Wish I could stay up for the late match but alas. This one’s the real barometer for where Shelton’s game is at. Last year his only losses in Slams (not counting the injury in NY) were to Sinner and Alcaraz. Here’s his chance to find out if he’s any closer to closing that gap or not.

Ooh Novak may be getting the same injury bailout that Jannik got when he was on the ropes against Dimitrov at Wimbledon last year

Musetti taking it to Djokovic is a legit surprise to me. Now I figured Novak would get blitzed by Jannik in the next round, but I thought he’d at least get to that round.

this chart is sending me

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

so you should just know, if Indiana can win a national title, there's no reason for you to not have hope about...well, everything and anything

Now we know: the only way to make Curt Cignetti smile is to literally win a national championship! 🤣

HOLY CRAP I have never been more happy to be wrong!

Calling my shot: Miami is winning this game now.

There’s no scenario now where Indiana should try a field goal on this drive. Stay up by 3 and Miami might settle for a FG and overtime if they get in range. Go up 6 and they’ll know they need a TD and will play accordingly.

And that is why IU went for it on all those fourth downs. Their defense is cooked.

I thought Cignetti was nuts to go for it on both fourth downs. I thought Mendoza had no chance of getting the first down on that play, much less the touchdown. I was loud wrong.

Feels to me like Indiana’s defense is starting to get a little weary. If their offense can’t sustain a drive here, I think Miami finally finds a way to pull ahead.

Look at Cignetti and tell me whether his team just blocked a punt or gave up a blocked punt. I’d never play poker with that man.

Bieniemy is to KC as Josh McDaniels is to NE.

Stan Wawrinka’s retirement party in Melbourne has been officially postponed! Through to the second round in 4.

Little confused as to why LA wouldn’t go on and kick it now

This game has more plot twists than your grandma’s favorite soap opera

I’m not surprised at all that Chicago scored late. I am surprised by the way they did it, though. That was wild!

Tomlin’s winning season streak is like the DiMaggio hit streak: it’s hard for me to imagine anyone breaking that. Heck, look at the run the Chiefs had been on before this year and they fell seven seasons short of tying it.

So with the defending champs going out, the remaining teams in the NFC are three teams from the NFC West and the Chicago Bears.

Of course Mendoza has a LinkedIn

Boy, that escalated quickly
