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! 

Minnesota Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will receive Athletes In Action’s Bart Starr Award Feb. 11, the day before the 2023 Super Bowl. Presented at the Cru (formerly known as Campus Crusade For Christ) Super Bowl Breakfast in Phoenix, the Bart Starr Award annually honors the NFL player who best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, field, and in the community.  

Former President Donald Trump won a senior golf tournament over the weekend and used the occasion to take a driver to President Joe Biden’s physical ability to lead the nation. 

So the COVID vaccines aren’t really fool-proof? Go figure.

Shut up and dribble.

A war on vax skeptics.
