Hmm. Guess which governor is no longer invited to a bipartisan governors dinner thanks to Mango Mussolini?

Brian Allen
@allenanalysis

Trump disinvited Maryland Gov. Wes Moore from a bipartisan governors’ dinner.

Moore is the only Black governor in America — and the vice chair of the National Governors Association.

Everyone else was welcome.

He wasn’t.

Patterns don’t lie.

Also, the fact that Wes Moore is the only Black governor in America is atrocious in itself!

Dolphins, Cardinals seeking trade options for Tua, Kyler

Not an easy thing to pull off, as anyone in a dynasty fantasy league can attest!

As the Miami Dolphins and Arizona Cardinals navigate the future with new head coaches, both teams would like to find trade partners for their starting quarterbacks.

The Dolphins would like to explore trading Tua Tagovailoa; ditto for the Cardinals and Kyler Murray. But it remains unclear whether a deal for either quarterback is feasible given the financial hurdles for an acquiring team.

There certainly are expected to be a handful of teams in the market for new quarterbacks. In addition to the Dolphins and Cardinals, the list could include the New York Jets, Atlanta Falcons, Cleveland Browns, Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings.

Miami is expected to be willing to pay down a portion of Tagovailoa's contract to help facilitate a trade, sources told ESPN, though the money still makes it challenging.

Your 2025 NFL MVP is...

Matt Stafford!

At age 37 -- and in his 17th NFL season -- Stafford led the NFL in passing yards (4,707), touchdowns (46) and touchdown-interception radio (5.8). He threw for 313 more passing yards and 15 more touchdowns than New England Patriots quarterback Drake Maye, who was the runner-up. Stafford's 2025 season was the eighth time in NFL history that a quarterback threw for at least 4,500 yards and 45 touchdowns in a season, according to ESPN Research. Six of the previous seven quarterbacks to do so won MVP. The only one who didn't was Drew Brees in 2011 as Aaron Rodgers also reached those thresholds that season. Stafford's touchdown-interception ratio was so low in part because he went eight games without throwing an interception in the middle of the season. During that stretch, Stafford threw 28 straight touchdowns without an interception. According to Elias, that is the longest streak by any player since play-by-play was first tracked in 1978.-- Sarah Barshop

Other than land, what's the oldest physical object that you own?

I have an 1893 Indian Head penny. It's apparently worth around $2. That's quite the appreciation, but it's not setting me up for retirement!

Chicago White Sox hail dawn of a new bidet!

@JomboyMedia

White Sox are adding bidets in their clubhouse as requested by Japanese slugger Munetaka Murakami

"One thing he did notice is we didn’t have a bidet in our locker room. That’s new to him. It was like, ‘Ok, that’s new. We can do that.’” -GM Chris Getz
