The NFL likely spends a lot on PR

Can we stop talking about "former" intelligence agents and the podcast drama between them and maybe focus on real issues that matter?
How about "independent" media covers the many disturbing developments courtesy of the government (and the broader global governance structure) is currently doing, which in many areas is drastically under-reported, and try and hold actual power to account instead of reality TV-style mudslinging. Isn't it supposed to be different than mainstream media?
In the event these people don't still work for intelligence, they are doing their work of divide and conquer and distract for them. I for one am tired of having this dramaslop algorithmically thrown at me.

Every accusation they made was “projection or confession.”
“Jared Kushner was allegedly paid $50 million by a foreign government to get former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson fired,” the New Republic reports.
“In the new book Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East, author Matthew Cole reported that the United Arab Emirates paid Kushner millions to oust Tillerson, who had allegedly become extremely cozy with the Qataris.”

October 26, 2008: “Cannot play with them, cannot win with them, cannot coach them. Can’t do it. I want winners. I want people that want to win.”
After Mike Singletary’s 1st game as HC of the 49ers, a 34-13 home loss to Seattle, he explains, among other things, why he sent TE Vernon Davis to the locker room mid-game.

Look at where UCLA is located.
Pacific Ocean. Beverly Hills. Bel Air. Brentwood. Westwood. Santa Monica. All in your backyard.
UCLA is a global brand. It’s the No. 1 public university in the country and the most applied to school in America. 127 national championships. Everyone wants to be here.
There’s no reason this can’t be a football juggernaut. It’s Los Angeles. Prove it and the fans will come.
Nobody is poaching Chesney from this. The only thing anywhere else has on us is less tax on his paycheck.
It might not be this year, but the USC game will give him a glimpse of what’s coming. He could build something in Westwood the country hasn’t seen.

Caesars' Las Vegas net income fell 40% this summer, to $79 million from $132 million a year ago.
The company pays $6 million a day in interest — more than all 8 of its Vegas resorts earn.
In possibly related news, they're bringing back 24-hour free parking for Nevada residents.

Americans are drinking less than at any point since Gallup started tracking it in 1939.
Just 54% of U.S. adults say they drink alcohol, an all time low.
That’s down from 62% in 2023.
