Thank you, @kim.senate.gov @andykimnj.bsky.social for putting yourself on the line. Please join the call to ABOLISH ICE and work to defund and abolish the agency entirely.

OK, in the lede to my feature tomorrow, I compare the modern Internet culture to the Tower of Babel, and i just want to know that I wrote that lede on Friday and therefore did not STEAL IT FROM THE POPE.

Reminder on our Memorial Day sale! Get all our fantasy projections AND all the DVOA stats with charting splits throughout the NFL season.

Pope Leo XIV dropped his first encyclical, a celebration of humanity in the face of AI. It must be ‘disarmed, freed from logics that turn it into an instrument of domination, exclusion and death,” he wrote.

Movie was very good, very funny, and also REALLY sad.

Philadelphia Eagles OL Tyler Steen’s grandfather, Sgt. Rodney M. Davis, was posthumously awarded a Medal of Honor in 1969. Steen’s association with his grandfather’s valor is one he won’t outrun — or even try outrunning. Free to read from @zberm.bsky.social: www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

Thinking of, and remembering all those who fought and died protecting our country and our Democracy. May we carry their strength, their sacrifices, and their memory with us as we fight for those same freedoms that are under attack from within and beyond our borders today. 🇺🇸

It fills me with no small joy each time I am reminded that Batman is canonically from South Jersey

Good morning! 🌞 Column is up! I spoke to a handful of scouts and executives on the moves this offseason they believe will define the 2026 NFL season, and offered up my own favorites:

Sharing a real time request sent by a friend. MASS CALL FOR BODIES AT DELANEY HALL. ICE IS ATTEMPTING TO TRANSFER THE HUNGER STRIKE ORGANIZERS OUT OF THE FACILITY.

The Giants "locker room" or whatever people think that means is fine. Living and working with people who either love or fail to understand the implications of this administration is *the* Black american experience.

It's been over 29 years since Bob Dylan recorded a song in which he sang "It's not dark yet but it's getting there." Today is his 85h birthday and he has 35 tour dates on the books between now and August 1.

I am finally getting Bluesky'd!!! About time!

Would love to stay and chat with you all, but Civ VII just crashed on my PC for the 3rd time during a RAINY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, and if it crashes after I reboot everything I will spend the next 3 days sobbing under my bed.

Skattebo is more of an RFK guy. But running backs are expected to be dumb as a box of wrenches.

Well, fortunately there are no MAGA quarterbacks except Dart! (Rolls eyes so hard it bursts a blood vessel).

Ah yes, the Giants are the only NFL team with a mix of avid Trump supporters in leadership positions and folks who hate him. They're doomed!

The Jaxson Dart rhetoric got WAY ahead of the reality last year.

It's gonna be fascinating to follow this slow-motion trainwreck in real time.

Settle in with your morning coffee, and what I’m hearing from sources around the NFL. ☕️

My worlds have collided. One of the bad guys in The Mandalorian and Grogu is played by Panthers legend Matt Willig, who once threw a penalty flag back at a ref the same day Julius Peppers returned an interception 97 yards without scoring in Denver in 2004. Dan Morgan and Mando both got him.

We are gathering information and have no further comment at this time

Texans LB E.J. Speed partially tore a quadriceps while lifting weights.

It is so effing boring to be hit with BS doomer posturing so regularly. Again: 1) Midterm elections matter 2) Presidential approval matters a lot in midterms 3) Public opinion matters b/c it tells us something about who we are 4) It's good that Trumpist populism is failing as a long term project!

Take back, knee and shoulder pain parlay at +220. But do it tomorrow because I just had a beer and cracked upon my first THC seltzer of the night.

NEW: You've all seen the multitude of way-too-early 2027 mock drafts that have the Dolphins picking first or second, but we're here to tell you why that won't happen. www.si.com/nfl/dolphins...

Hey everyone! This is my first article with @optimusfantasy.com, and it would mean a lot if you read and shared it. I welcome any feedback you may have as well. Thank you so much!

Becoming a sports "insider" means swallowing all conscience and dignity for the tiniest morsels of access. You end up saying the dumbest stuff about the grossest people for the right to break contract details 10 minutes ahead of your competitors.

Will Levis vs. Hendon Hooker: America's Backup QB Battle.

The Lions and star LB Jack Campbell have agreed to terms on a 4-year deal, source said. No fifth-year option, just a big money contract instead.

Players rarely face real consequences for excessive speeding. They're just fines. And, well, they have a lot of $. But in Nolan Smith's case, he & Jalyx Hunt are both under contract for 2 more years. Possible that one is extended next offseason, and one traded. This doesn't help.
