While Ron DeSantis and other Republican presidential hopefuls are in Iowa, Illinois has to settle for Governor J.B. Pritzker who was nice enough to stop and sign a baseball for Dick Bigger Jr., of Biggsville, Illinois. Gov. J. B.

data-mm-id=”_7l4l4g9cp”>Josh McDaniels' second disastrous head coaching stint has come to a blissful end. The world watched as the wheels came completely off the Las Vegas Raiders on Monday Night Football against the Detroit Lions; apparently the 26-14 loss was the last straw for owner Mark Davis. Not that any of us should be all that surprised. McDaniels did exactly the same thing as when he was the head coach for the Denver Broncos over a decade ago– he came in, made all the team's best players mad, got rid fo them for his "own guys," and lost a ton of games in the process. Still, it was a bit of a shock to see Davis fire McDaniels in the middle of the season after being forced to do the same thing with Jon Gruden in 2021. Antonio Pierce, linebackers coach, has b…

data-mm-id=”_rw0vkydbd”>The Golden State Warriors blew a considerable lead to the Sacramento Kings last night in a contest with significant In-Season Tournament implications, which probably doesn't make the players feel that much worse but it definitely doesn't make them better. The Dubs got off to a hot start at Golden 1 Center in Sacramento but the home side clawed their way back into the game and sealed the comeback win with a wild Malik Monk bank shot leaning runner sort of thing. pic.twitter.com/3oHZx7Rj1e— Gonzalo Vázquez (@GVazquezNY) November 29, 2023It's an unfamiliar sight. Even in the twilight of their dynasty the Warriors are not in the habit of blowing big leads, especially to "little brother" teams like the Kings. Perhaps it is a sign that the …

data-mm-id=”_yhstfz6uk”>Alabama senator Katie Britt made national headlines with her weird, off-putting response to Joe Biden's State of the Union address. She was even parodied by Scarlett Johansson on Saturday Night Live. Her odd, overly-dramatic swings of mood, cadence and intensity were panned nationally. Some called the performance a career killer. Apparently, she didn't learn from that experience. On Wednesday night, Britt was a guest on Fox News' Hannity and discussed some of the same topics she did in her State of the Union response. Once again, she had odd changes between being intense and smiling, and her voice got breathy, then forceful at inappropriate times.

"This one was a no-brainer for us," CBS Sports' Cody Benjamin wrote. "And why not? Rodgers lasted all of four snaps before going down with an Achilles tear in his infamous 2023 Jets debut.

You feel an incredible amount of pressure when you re at Manchester United. There are eyes on you all the time, on and off the pitch, because the club is so huge. It takes some time to get used to it, but I feel like I ve found my rhythm.

I remember one of the first days when I was walking around the city with my girlfriend, and there were paparazzi photographers on the street. I thought, Wow, do people really care to see pictures of me just walking around? Apparently, you can make a lot of show and both good and bad stories out of that.

I ve always wanted to get here, and it s not that it isn t great, but there is definitely also a downside. You don t have the same freedom in your vocabulary and generally in everyday life. You can t always say what s on your mind, be…
