For years I’ve been warning football fans that soon the sport will be unrecognizable to what it was in the 1900s & effectively become some sort of flag/soft tackle hybrid. The most underrated facilitator of this is the total loss of institutional memory at the lower levels… 😱🤮

In honor of Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza winning the Heisman Trophy, here he is less than 13 months ago emotionally celebrating having beaten his then arch rival Stanford… While he was at Cal… Before immediately transferring to Indiana… 🤦‍♂️

Why I’m not very impressed with the ability of AI to “think”… On the 40th anniversary of Jack Nicklaus winning the 1986 Masters, I asked Grok Imagine to take the iconic image of Jack making the putt on the 17th hole, and turn it into a video. It was very clearly clueless… 🤷‍♂️

Like a vulture picking apart a carcass, ESPN (all while Kirk Herbstreit pretends to love the traditions of this game) continues to systematically dismantle everything special about the Rose Bowl. Yesterday’s earlier start time not only killed the iconic 4th-quarter sunset, but had the team’s floats emptied before the parade was close to over.🥲🤮

I don’t care about the last three national champions, as long as scenes like this are not unusual in the Deep South, the SEC will always be the best football conference… 🇺🇸

Casual golf fan… “Aaron Rai is leading the PGA Championship?? He can’t possibly win.” Avid golf fan… “Don’t be so sure. He’s a closer.” Casual golf fan… “How do you know that?” Avid golf fan… “Here’s his wife…” 😱

I’m not defending Tiger Woods, his accident was clearly his fault & he deserves to be held accountable, but based on this version of the body cam footage of his arrest, it sure seems like a non celebrity might’ve not been charged with a DUI. He seems not as out of it as expected.

Tiger Woods, Vanessa Trump, & Kai Trump, yesterday at Riviera CC… It sure seems like Tiger & Vanessa (who has the most remarkable dating history of any current celebrity) are in love. As a “member” of the Trump family, Tiger has a great shot at being on the GOP ticket in 2036.

I know this will be wrongly perceived by some as racist and/or sexist, but, given who Dawn Staley is, I need no further information to determine that I’m on “Team Geno” here…

High school baseball season on the line… Bases loaded, up by two, with two outs… The pitcher is put into an impossible situation… Most might concede the run… This guy says, “Not on MY watch!” (And the cameraman nailed it as well!) 😱💪🇺🇸

That sound you just heard was Bobby Jones rolling over in his grave… On live ESPN telecast of the Masters Par 3 contest, Hoatong Li just dropped an F-bomb while taking a photo with Kevin Hart. I love the Par 3 contest, but things are getting a bit out of hand for The Masters

So, apparently during the 2024 campaign, Kamala Harris did an interview with the liberal podcast SubwayTakes with Kareem Rahma that was SO bad that they decided not to even release it because the host didn’t want to get blamed for her losing… 🤔😱

This is a big day in the Ziegler house… My daughter Grace, on the verge of her 14th birthday, finally got her braces off. 🥲 In other words, this teenage girl shit is about to get REAL! 😱 Your prayers are welcome. 🙏

It should be noted that, in a remarkably short amount of time, college football has gone from the epic Tim Tebow “promise” speech (which could never happen today with NIL & instant transfer), to a QB quitting on their team while they’re still bowl eligible. Nice job, everyone!🥲

This thread attacking Michael Jackson, over 2 decades after he was unanimously acquitted, has rightly been “community noted,” but this amazing short clip from his trial attorney Thomas Mesereau should end any rational debate over whether Jackson was really guilty of any crime…🔥

In 1992, NBA legends Julius Erving & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar played a one-on-one exhibition that had more intensity than most NBA regular season games & probably even some playoff games, in 2026. Erving was 42. Jabbar was 45. Pride used to be what fueled most of sports. Now, we have to legislate around the lack of it.🤦‍♂️
