41 years ago, this incredibly wise young man went to go see “Back to the Future” with his date and tried to warn us about what was coming… I really hope life treated him well. I also wish we had listened to him! 😱🤦‍♂️🤮🥲

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… 🤦‍♂️

The TOTAL failure of Spencer Pratt’s campaign should FOREVER discredit X opinion as a local politics barometer in blue USA. It should also humiliate lots of MAGA influencers who were exposed as morons. Even semicredible accounts like California Post &amp; Hot Mics with Billy Bush shit the bed!

It feels like Taylor Swift decided to go to the Knicks game tonight just so she could see if her “dick” was big enough to somehow score four impossible court-side seats for her and her friends from a team/city she has no real connection to… And it was.

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… 🤷‍♂️

There’s been a lot of joy over the Norway fans &amp; their “row” cheer, but not nearly enough talk about how that’s possible. When you have a homogeneous population not yet destroyed by immigration you can maintain your national pride/culture. Most USA schools would not allow this…

For years I’ve been warning football fans that soon the sport will be unrecognizable to what it was in the 1900s &amp; 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… 😱🤮

If you are longing for a simpler time that is now gone forever, this video will likely hit HARD… 🥲

I showed my 14 year old daughter this amazing chart illustrating the progression of best-selling musical artists during the 1970s and 80s, so that she would get some sense of how insane Michael Jackson’s run during the 1980s was. And now in 2026 he’s back near the top again…😱

Here, the brilliant Katharine Birbalsingh from London explains Zoran Mamdani Mania better than anyone in America has so far done so… This is a great, but terrifying speech… 😱🤦‍♂️🤮🥲

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 &amp; 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.

How has this crazy video of Bill Belichick’s girlfriend at UNC spring practice not yet gone viral?! In this history of famous men who were P-whipped, no one has ever been more whipped than Bill Belichick! 👀😱😂🤦‍♂️🤷‍♂️

Tiger Woods, Vanessa Trump, &amp; Kai Trump, yesterday at Riviera CC… It sure seems like Tiger &amp; 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.

👀 In leaked audio, Jamie Dimon takes his employees, especially the younger ones, to the woodshed over their desire to keep “working” remotely. 🔥

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… 🤔😱

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…

I generally hate AI, but this “Star Wars” takedown of Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper is tremendous… 😂

Lip-reading the Geno Auriemma and Dawn Staley confrontation… 🤔🤷‍♂️

This video provides a really good explanation for why rank &amp; file MAGA are stronger believers than the media/influencer class of MAGA, as well as why Penn Staters are, counter intuitively, the very worst subjects when it comes to learning that the “Penn State Scandal” is a fraud.

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

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 &amp; instant transfer), to a QB quitting on their team while they’re still bowl eligible. Nice job, everyone!🥲

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!) 😱💪🇺🇸

The most famous club pro in the world, Michael Block, on his 50th birthday, just birdied the 18th hole of his final U.S. Senior Open qualifier to make a playoff for the final 2 spots into the tournament…

This is Jim Nantz strolling Pebble Beach (where he lives) in the morning and providing what appears to be a random stranger with the golf experience of a lifetime… 🔥♥️

Has any all-time great athlete ever been more delusional (or even close) than LeBron James is???! He seems to be under the impression that 30 years ago in Ohio (when Tiger Woods was an emerging star) that young black kids were “banned” from country clubs, even to caddie! WTF?!
