Four brothers went to war against Hitler. Three were killed. The fourth survived, and his grandson, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, is the president of Ukraine. Zelensky comes from a family that fought tyrants: Trump negotiates with them while demanding concessions from their victims.

*DEEP INHALE* This is ahistorical and deeply racist. As MLK approached the end of his life, he came to regret his "I Have a Dream" speech. In 1966 he said "a riot is the voice of the unheard." This isn't conjecture. This is what he said, Sandy.

This isn't unique or personal to Tom, but we HAVE to stop lionizing any and every sacrifice at the altar of the NFL. The question was never, "how committed is Jalen Hurts to football?" He's a Super Bowl MVP. The question is: how committed were the Eagles to Hurts when his health was in real danger?
