    Sometimes I feel that they’re too smart to be as gullible as they around Bari Weiss. I can’t think of anything she’s done that they’d give her the benefit of the doubt headed into CBS. Also did they see the Erika Kirk interview? She was tossed softball after softball. Can’t believe they said she was “grilled.”

  • Notre Dame discussion

    Love the powers that be but I fear Hamby needs a bigger social circle. He says he doesn’t know anyone who doesn’t think Alabama would “gut” ND head to head. But before the final rankings, oddsmakers had ND favored over Bama (and Oklahoma and Miami too) on a neutral field. Also, ND had better odds than Bama to win the whole thing. Unfortunately, the committee left the hottest team in the country (except perhaps Indiana) out of the playoff. It’s a shame.
