I’ve started getting a kick out of all these new sports things popping up like “This is going to change the game! This is going to be competition like you’ve never seen it! And it’s coming from Riyadh!” And nobody has really given a shit about one yet.
Tom Brady says the March 21 flag football tournament in Saudi Arabia will be "real football" and "real competition."

On Monday, state police arrested another woman and her husband for "reckless homicide" related to a November 2024 miscarriage. The state hasn't released the estimated gestational age of the fetus and it won't give us the autopsy report. This detail could matter for the homicide charge:

President Trump's lawyers have told a court he shouldn't have to respond to lawsuits because it would distract him from running the government.
But he's found time to bring lawsuits of his own, against the New York Times and even against his own administration.
