Apple has done some truly shitty things of late. But whatever programmer developed the rotating background pictures for iPhones needs a promotions. It genuinely makes me smile every hour when I see the new picture.

This was a worse loss than the one to Minnesota. They just got out hustled and out worked.
MSU coach Tom Izzo calls it "a good, ol' fashioned ass kicking."

. @blazersedge.bsky.social night is one of the coolest things anyone at SBN has ever done. If you have the means and can donate a ticket to help a kid see their first NBA game, you can do so here. Even just $20 can give a kid a lifelong memory:

Seeing Kenneth Walker III winning the Super Bowl MVP is so cool

I hate that this is where my brain went too
Your Ring camera can scam passing dogs and compare them to databases of missing dogs and that’s heartwarming and there are absolutely no sinister implications that’s why the guy in the button-down and Dockers is soothing

This Super Bowl would be way more exciting with more Caleb Williams.

I have a really annoying head cold right now. Tons of sinus pressure. My 7-month pregnant wife just said “I’m so uncomfortable!” And I almost replied with “me too.”

Not today Satan.

Would love to see Antwaan Randle El get promoted to OC after this.
NEWS: The Ravens are hiring Bears offensive coordinator Declan Doyle to be their offensive coordinator, per source.

Doyle will call plays in Baltimore on Jesse Minter’s staff.

I get the joke, but I’ll take every part of the Bears past/present over the Falcons.

This is especially true for younger players. Team PR reps will cast a player out if they don't hold the company line. Which means for a lot of guys their access to endorsements is gone.
I keep thinking about Wemby saying that team PR told him to shut up and not decry the ICE murders in Minneapolis. I don’t think he did it consciously, but he was breaking some serious omertà. Jocks have told me for years about political pressure from team PR but they never talk about it publicly.
