Americans Are Leaving the U.S. in Record Numbers More citizens are replanting overseas, drawn by a quality of life made easily affordable by the U.S.’s enviable salaries.

The new American dream, for some of its citizens, is to no longer live here. Put aside Trump's deportations, America’s own citizens are leaving in record numbers, replanting themselves in lands they find more affordable and safe.Β @drewhinshaw.bsky.social Joe Parkinson www.wsj.com/us-news/amer...

ESPN reported the results of the NFLPA report cards, which aren't released publicly anymore. Here's how the Bills look over time.

The Bills saw a drastic upgrade in Team Travel (F- to B-) this year. They got an F in Home Game Field, a new category, but are moving to a new stadium. #billsmafia

UFL to introduce 4-point field goals as part of rule changes The UFL will pan the tush push and make field goals beyond 60 yards worth four points, along with other rules changes announced for this season.

The tush push is banned ... in the UFL.

The spring football league that often experiments with rule changes before NFL adoption is also adding 4-point field goals from 60+, banning punts in plus territory & going to the college one-foot-in-bounds rule.

When you put it like this, a $75 million bribe to Melania and gutting the Washington Post seems like a small price to pay.

"The government didn't take any action against CBS; the network intervened on its own to avoid government action."

Right. Brian Stelter explains it pretty well. view.newsletters.cnn.com/messages/177...

"But don't be fooled: The FCC's 'equal-time' push is almost all bark, no bite."

First day in three weeks above freezing. It's snowed on 18 of the last 20 days and has been below 0 three days in a row.

Damn near ready to break out the shorts.

If we get real crazy later, we might even see the sun.
