Worth the full watch.

I LOVE the ark discussion because it brings around a great history lesson.
I always start with the basics. The story of Noah and the Ark comes from the middle east. That is accepted fact.

I think this is proof of how history is rarely properly taught. I did not know this about Rosa Parks.
Thank you Marcelius Braxton over on the bird app.
A lot of people keep referencing Rosa Parks, so can we please tell the Rosa Parks bus story properly?

I need to get this out.
We all realize now that Texas is making these abortion laws through the court because of what is happening. In the larger cities and with the likelihood that Texas will be turning purple.

Mark Cuban is a very smart man:
I wish Biden would come out and say he wants Trump on the ballot. The 14th doesn't apply. Then thanks him for the playbook describing how to never leave office and the appreciation of knowing he can't be charged, no matter what he does.

Could see this coming as the deal between PGA and LIV to merge expires at the end of the month.
Jon Rahm is leaving the PGA Tour to join LIV Golf, per The Wall Street Journal.
Expected to be announced this week, LIV’s multi-year deal for Rahm is reportedly among the richest it has offered.

If Ohtani's beliefs are to be believed, this might eliminate the Blue Jays.
Reports were that if a team interested had meetings and it leaked, that team would be removed from the list.
(It's why things have been so quiet)
We'll see how things go but it will be interesting to watch this play out.

What a crazy Saturday. Bama knocked off the #1 team Georgia, FSU completed their undefeated season with their 3rd string QB, and Michigan trounced Iowa.
The college football playoff bracket will be set later today.
My guess on who's in ⤵️
1. Michigan
2. Washington
3. FSU
4. Texas
Sorry SEC fans

This is big. Gymnastics has a huge problem with this and I hope this is the start of it being dealt with.
Coaches will not be able to weigh gymnasts under new British Gymnastics rules designed to stop practices "on the fringes of abuse"

Hey folks, hope everyone's doing good tonight.
It felt strange stepping away from social media for a little while but it was nice.
I'll be back posting things. Maybe a little less sports. More funny or fun things.
Thanks for sticking around with me
