Joe Posnanski: "I obviously loathe the Pittsburgh Steelers — being a lifelong Browns fan, and all — but I’ve also always had a grudging admiration for them. They are, in so many ways, exactly what I’ve wanted the Browns to be. Stable. Consistent. Confident in their path."

You’ve made eight Super Bowls and won six. You’ve made the playoffs 18 times in the last 30 years. Ask a Browns fan what hell is.

It just feels like Hegseth just wants to go all Colonel Jessep on the prosecutor at his 2029 trial. "You want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!"

It just feels like at his 2029 trial he is going to go all Colonel Jessep “YOU CAN’T HANDLE THE TRUTH” on the prosecutor.

A man in a suit speaks into a handheld microphone against a gold striped backdrop. Next to him, several stacked USAID relief sacks sit outdoors on a dirt ground, marked with the USAID logo and the words From the American People. A red News Now banner appears below the images, followed by a headline about USAID’s moral credibility.

USAID used to keep the country safer by tackling crises before they spread. Its health and relief work cost less than one percent of the budget yet gave the United States real moral credibility. Once it was shut down, the vacuum let adversaries like Russia and China step in.

Opinion | ‘We Are Going to Have to Fight Three Wars’

“A free and independent Ukraine will be no more tolerable to President Vladimir Putin after a cease-fire than it was before, and any peace agreement now has to be evaluated on the basis of a single key question—can Ukraine remain free after the shooting stops?” #NAFO www.nytimes.com/2025/11/27/o...

What Is Steve Witkoff Trying to Do? Trump’s envoy isn’t promoting peace. His interventions are helping Vladimir Putin and prolonging the war.

Opinion | Trump’s Neville Chamberlain Prize

"If Ukraine is, indeed, forced to surrender...[Thanksgiving] will become a Russian holiday. It will become a day of thanks that victory...was delivered to Russia not by the superiority of its arms or the virtue of its claims, but by an American administration." #NAFO www.nytimes.com/2025/11/22/o...

And Cal’s offense was playing checkers.

USA Hockey says multi-sport athletes make better hockey players.

Vance is the most anti-Ukraine official in this administration, so Driscoll leading this delegation is not a good sign.

Cal handing over the Axe to Stanford is one of the oldest traditions in the Atlantic Coast Conference. #BeatCal

Definitely more anti-Ukraine than Trump. Trump once in a while will turn on Russia when he realizes Putin is playing him.

Does Stanford still correct the score of the 1982 Big Game when the Axe resides in Tresidder Union? Stanford 20, Cal 19. #BeatCal

Old-school intellectual brutality tonight in Palo Alto. Ripping off the rushing yards in the fourth quarter. #BeatCal

Here is the best academic analysis so far of what’s happening tonight with the 28-point peace plan.

Stanford defense making me believe. #BeatCal

Accountability’s a bitch.

You give them far too much credit. They are not that competent.

For a brief moment, it feels like 2015 on The Farm. #GoStanford #BeatCal

Jesus is just alright with me
Jesus is just alright, oh yeah
Jesus is just alright with me
Jesus is just alright

An offensive touchdown?! Can we begin to dream? Give ‘em the Axe! #GoStanford #BeatCal

Stanford offense finally scores after 40 minutes. Defense still has 14 points, offense now has 3.

Stanford defense is +4 in the first half. Just need them to be even the rest of the way and hope the offense doesn’t give up points.

GIF of Jim Carrey in “Dumb and Dumber” saying, “So, you’re telling me there’s a chance.”

It feels like the Stanford defense needs to outscore the offense if we’re going to win tonight. And right on cue … #GoStanford #BeatCal

Still getting used to Stanford and Cal being in the ACC. Instead of Pacific Life commercials with whales breaching, we now get 4Patriots hawking the Patriot Power Generator. “See that square in the corner? That’s a QR code.” Words generally not aimed at Silicon Valley viewers. #GoStanford #BeatCal
