Sadly, I will not be rooting for the Yankees anymore. I wasn’t before either but I believe Yankees players should have to shave off their beards as a ritual of shame, like samurai who lose their top knots.

Jalen Hurts is such a weird quarterback because during the regular season he's a pretty good, bit above average guy and then in the Super Bowl specifically he turns into the platonic ideal of the dual threat qb and obliterates people and everyone goes wait what Moreover, ICE must be destroyed

folks are mad that no SEC team reached the championship, but the south can't have it all. better food/music? yes. better at driving in winter conditions? yes. more intellectuals? obviously, because a northern state still hasn't launched a successful lunar mission. the south can't have football too

🧵 After a year in the public spotlight, Alabama’s 3-member parole board started letting more people out in 2024, even if it was most often on a split vote. Chair Leigh Gwathney remains a reliable "no" vote, but the other two members have been voting yes more often. www.al.com/news/2024/12...
