Right. About. Everything.
Ten years ago today.
In just the last few days: Trump made a deal for the U.S. to buy Russian diesel, an economic lifeline for Putin; he and Elon Musk blamed each other for an order that slowed down Starlink satellite connectivity over Ukraine, hampering the country's defenses during a devastating Russian attack; and Trump waived sanctions on Russia that Congress, led by his late friend Lindsey Graham, had pushed for.
Now, Putin has proposed a summit with Trump and Xi to decide Ukraine’s fate for them, bulldoze a century of international cooperation, and frame Russia as an equal to the U.S. and China.
We’ll see if Putin’s puppet continues to dance on his strings.

Admiral McRaven: "Our current leaders are shameless and ignoble. They have no sense of dignity or honor. They seem to believe that the performance of curel power is what makes a nation great: the spectacle, the show, the crude theatrics of a tough guy. Nothing could be further from the truth."

Between bashing flying furries and professing his love for data centers, Tommy Tuberville just dumped on people moving into Alabama’s fastest-growing, largest city, many of whom are military and government contractors. He also says he’s going to DOGE Alabama. Watch this race folks.

Ballin In Boutwell is such a cool event. @KnightEady does an incredible job with it. It’s great that @SECNetwork decided to showcase it while The University is playing.

Few college football games have provided as many heroic moments, pivotal turn of events and sheer drama as what happened 27 years ago today when @AlabamaFTBL went into Gainesville and shocked the No. 3-ranked Florida Gators, 40-39, in overtime on Oct. 2, 1999.
For the heroic performances look no further than Alabama’s Shaun Alexander who led the Crimson Tide with four touchdowns, three rushing and one receiving, and Florida’s Darrell Jackson who caught three touchdowns.
For the pivotal turn of events a fumble on a punt return late in the game by Jackson allowed Alabama to tie the game and force overtime.
For the sheer drama Florida place-kicker Jeff Chandler missed an extra-point attempt in overtime opening the door for the Crimson Tide. After Alabama scored a touchdown on a run by Alexander, Chris Kemp also missed his extra-point attempt.
But then the penalty flag dropped.
Florida’s Bennie Alexander had jumped offsides and allowed Kemp a second chance to amend for his errant kick. This time Kemp delivered as Alabama snapped Florida’s 30-game home winning streak in The Swamp.
Alexander rushed for 106 yards and scored on runs of 1, 13 and 25 yards. He also caught four passes for 94 yards which included a 47-yard touchdown reception from Andrew Zow in the third quarter.
