Gutted by the news about the Washington Post. An American institution and home to a world class sports section. It was an embarrassment of riches to have Kornheiser, Wilbon, Boswell, Povich, Feinstein, etc. writing for our local paper when we were started to dive into sports as kids.

Extremely sorry to hear this. I appreciated your dedicated reporting and writing to help me keep up to date on the Caps. You will be missed but I know you have great things in store for you. Best of luck on your next adventure.

Itโ€™s important to realize that the subtext of Trump freaking out at Kaitlan Collins when she asks him what heโ€™d say to the Epstein survivors is that she may in practice be asking what heโ€™d say to the *Trump* survivors, and they both know that. A well worded question

Dunn having to play left back was often framed by fans as coaches being disrespectful to her, but I think it was the opposite. The team had 6 or 7 S-tier talents, and USWNT managers wanted to get all of them on the field at the same time. The other ones weren't good enough to play LB. Dunn was.

I was a part of @postsports.bsky.social for nearly five years. Iโ€™ve been a reader and an admirer for much longer than that.

My former colleagues there do work thatโ€™s important to DC, the country and the whole sports world. They deserve so much better than whatโ€™s being reported. #SaveThePost

Federal agent secured gun from Minn. man before fatal shooting, videos show A Washington Post analysis of videos sheds light on the encounter that left 37-year-old Alex Pretti dead.

My @washingtonpost.com colleagues worked round the clock this weekend to expose the truth of what's happening in Minneapolis and bring urgent weather news to millions facing dangerous cold and snow.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

โ€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the โ€˜heroโ€™ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trumpโ€™s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

Liamโ€™s mom dressed him in all those layers to keep her little boy warm and safe in this frigid weather, packed his book-bag w/ everything heโ€™d need for a good day at school, and then our govt stole him out of their driveway. Used her little boy as bait. These people are monsters.

Minneapolis residents are painting tunnels onto brick walls and ICE agents are running into them. This is not funny.

Here's the issue at the top for Kris Horn's team.

You can see where Hunter Powell slips, then overcompensates trying to pull himself in. He bumps Ryan Rager and they both fall out. I'm not 100% sure what happened to Caleb Furnell back there.

That said, incredible job by Horn to get that sled down

Dave Mathews took time on his birthday today to speak out on ICE and the murder of Renee Nicole Good ๐Ÿ”ฅโ€ฆ.HBD Dave!

"Renee Nicole Good, murdered in the streets. He shot her three times in the head. Murdered in cold blood. These people are trying to tell us not to believe what we see. F*ck ICE"

Enjoyed seeing this wholesome guy just noping all of Fox's leading questions. It was like

Q:Don't you thinks she was wrong?

A: No obviously ICE was wrong

Q: What about the people who shouldn't be here?

A: Obviously they should be here

Q: Anything el--

A: I have a bell!

Steve Kerr on the murder of Renee Good:

"It's shameful that the government can come out and lie about what happened when there's video and witnesses who have all come out and disputed what the government is saying."

my hot take is that I don't think it's this website specifically that's toxic. the Circumstances are toxic and nobody really knows what to do about it so they come online and scream. and if I may offer an alternative: actually going outside and screaming feels better.

INBOX: Washington Spirit will part ways with Ouleye Sarr, Kysha Sylla, Courtney Brown, and Brittany Ratcliffe this offseason.

Brown and Ratcliffe were under contract for 2026 but agreed to mutual termination. Ratcliffe and Sarr are now free agents, Brown has signed with Utah and Sylla's loan ended.

Points scored in 2025 playoff games:

JMU 34
Ohio State 14

Time for a serious conversation about handing out these participation-trophy bids like candy. Bad TV. Safety issue. I just feel so bad for Ohio State. They should have their own junior tournament
