Weekend Edition Saturday is a "news" program, but anchorman Scott Simon can uncork an occasional liberal commentary called "Simon Says." On the Saturday before the Super Bowl, Simon ripped pro football as a violent game, chiding the NFL for basically abusing its labor force after Damar Hamlin's cardiac arrest on the field.

While freezing their tootsies atop lofty mountain peaks, America’s best alpine skiers will be sweating out the dubious threat of climate change during next week's competition. Team USA “Climate Change Kool-Aid" drinkers will be decked out in blue and white suits bearing replicas of satellite photos portraying melting icebergs floating in the (boiling) ocean.

"Fuzzy Chimp" at Twitchy pointed out that leftists mangled an accurate Associated Press fact check correcting the false notion that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is mandating all female high-school athletes in the state to provide detailed information about their menstrual cycles.

Petty and unpatriotic.

free speech in Arizona’s capital city. They thought wrong. A judge on Friday smacked down their attempts to allow only Super Bowl-related messaging for businesses in the weeks leading up to the league’s championship game. 

The football made me do it!

An offending lineman will not share in the Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl limelight a week from Sunday. Josh Sills will, however, get his day in court after Ohio’s attorney general filed rape and kidnapping charges against him. 

Today is National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and University of Kentucky All-American swimmer Riley Gaines is campaigning against the annihilation of female athletics. In a Fox News op-ed, she renewed calls to protect the integrity of women’s sports. Gaines and other female collegiate swimmers last year raced against a stacked deck created by trans male fraud William “Lia” Thomas. 

Damar Hamlin spoke publicly for the first time Saturday, in a video explaining his belief that God is using him as a vessel to spread passion and love to the world. The Buffalo Bills defensive back nearly died January 2 when he went into cardiac arrest after tackling a Cincinnati Bengals receiver. 

Shut up, Skip.

Sports-section columnists can be the most aggressive liberal jerks in the opinion business. In Tuesday’s Washington Post, columnist (and University of Maryland journalism professor) Kevin Blackistone aggressively played guilt by association when Hall of Fame NFL coach and NBC football analyst Tony Dungy attended the March for Life last week.

Make him go away.

Standing up to the Gaystapo.

The ravenous LGBTQABCD mouthpiece Outsports says that, after posting six anti-Tony Dungy rants this month alone, there is “no agenda” against the Christian NFL football commentator. Talk about blathering out of both sides of your mouth!
