In 56 years of sports journalism, I saw something tonight that I had never seen before — a clock official shutting off the scoreboard and walking out of the press box in the middle of a high school football game because the home PA announcer was too loud. Rabbit ears much?

The so-called “media corps” that Trump allows into his press conferences are a bunch of sickening sycophants that let him babble on about how great he thinks he is.

You know, guys my age are supposed to shrink a little … height-wise, nothing else intended for measurement. But even at 72, I’m still 15 inches taller than Stephen Miller. Everywhere.

I guarantee you, the next step is Trump declaring martial law and suspending the 2026 midterm elections so we cannot begin the process of removing the MAGA taint from this land.

Reports are that the Sinclair-owned group of TV stations also threatened to yank Jimmy Kimmel off their ABC affiliates.
WJAR-TV in Providence is owned by Sinclair. It’s an NBC affiliate and the only way I can see NBC in my home town, but they’re off my clicker now.

This will be another Woodrow Wilson thing. His stroke was severe, and his wife covered for him for several months. Given that Melania would rather cover Donald (with dirt), that will leave Stephen Miller as the conspirator-in-charge. Vance won’t have the stones to challenge him.

I have determined that the Indiana Fever do not need Caitlin Clark to win. Therefore, they should trade Clark to the Connecticut Sun to facilitate the move to Boston and give her a major-market team in a city that will embrace her. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
