I have begrudgingly accepted the performative nature of sports debate and needing to up the ante to draw eyes. But this clown downplaying Lane Johnson's mental health, just like Skip Bayless belittling Dak Prescott talking about depression, are two undisputed and horrific lows.
"Now he calls it quits, not before the season. Not in the offseason…four games into the 2026 season, a dude that has been in the league forever, sits back and says I need to focus on my mental health" – Stephen A. Smith on Lane Johnson retiring

He’s so calm and polite whilst others laugh at and mock him. And he was closer to the truth than any of them.
This might go down as the prediction of the year

O comentarista suíço David Lemos, encerrou a transmissão resumindo com precisão os problemas desta Copa do Mundo, ele foi perfeito. 🗣️"Não há dúvidas de que esta foi a Copa do Mundo mais comercial da história e também uma das mais politizadas." "Não esqueceremos os preços que pessoas sem grande poder aquisitivo tiveram de pagar para viver sua paixão pelo futebol." "Em alguns casos, sequer puderam entrar no país por causa de sua nacionalidade, fossem torcedores, jornalistas ou até árbitros, como o somali Omar Artan." "Também lembramos do tratamento inaceitável dado à seleção do Irã, que não pôde defender suas chances de forma adequada durante o torneio." "E há ainda o caso de Folarin Balogun. Vimos um presidente se vangloriar de ter ligado para o presidente da FIFA para conseguir retirar a suspensão de um jogador." "A política se infiltrou no coração do futebol, embora a FIFA afirme querer mantê-la acima de tudo. Fica claro que isso só vale até certo ponto." "Foi uma Copa do Mundo em que todas as partidas foram disputadas em quatro tempos, e cuja final teve um intervalo de quase 30 minutos." "A crise tem dois nomes: dinheiro e poder. Hoje existe uma crise de confiança entre muitos dos envolvidos no futebol e a FIFA." "Nas próximas semanas, muito dinheiro será distribuído a diversas federações e a muitos agentes do futebol, que serão educadamente convidados a permanecer em silêncio." "Esperamos que tudo isso seja levado em consideração e que não volte a acontecer."

The first touch, the assist… imagine if Bryan Mbeumo had converted that.
I’m yet to get over Bruno first touch and his almost assist, Mbeumo could have scored that 😭…

Fans will probably be a bit miffed that VAR John Brooks intervened for a violent conduct red card for Lisandro Martinez for a bit of a hair pull. But decided Gabriel pushing his forehead into Erling Haaland's face was "not excessively aggressive or violent".

UNICEF is outraged by the killing of two drivers of trucks contracted by UNICEF to provide clean water to families in the Gaza Strip. The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza. UNICEF extends our condolences to the families of the men killed. Full statement: unicef.link/4cVCyP9

#C4News last night reported on the wholesale targeting of ambulances & paramedics in Lebanon by Israel, including the recent 'triple hit', when Israel attacked an ambulance, then attacked paramedics who went to help, and then attacked further paramedics also trying to help.

Match Officials Mic’d Up is finally available & it fully demonstrates the hypocrisy in play between the Amad non-penalty & the Harry Maguire red card. Same action, polar opposite decisions - both are upper-body/arm contact in the penalty area. Truffert’s is minimised as “just a hand on the shoulder.. not sufficient.. nothing significant.. goes down very easy.” Maguire’s identical incident is maximised as “not challenging for the ball at all.. clearly reaches out.. holding offence.” This isn’t a “judgment call” grey area. The same officials applying laws like a roulette wheel. Maguire’s called it a fucking joke.. & with this audio finally available, turns out he was bang on. Who’d have thought they would proved him right?

Jewish troops will be looking for Muslims hidden in the attics of Christians. Let that sink in.
Israel is explicitly warning Christian and Druze residents in southern Lebanon not to hide Muslim residents among them as their forces advance. Not a peep from Sheryl Sandberg.

The accurate word is occupy — not “keep control.” You don’t “keep control” over sovereign territory that isn’t yours. Words matter.
