The world of college football is rarely dull. Even with the regular season a few months away from starting, this week has been full of drama.And most of the most recent drama has been created by LSU Tigers head coach Lane Kiffin.Kiffin, who’s no stranger to making headlines, made several comments that garnered attention in new interviews. The most contentious and controversial being some very pointed criticisms of Ole Miss, his former school.Specifically Kiffin claimed Ole Miss would lose out on recruits because of supposed concerns over racial diversity on campus and in Oxford.”‘Hey, coach, we really like you.

And you can add one of the SEC’s biggest supporters to the list of those roasting him…

Members of Congress on Thursday encouraged U.S. Navy and Marine Corps leaders to prioritize America’s maritime industrial base amid recent discussions about potentially building ships abroad.Lawmakers from both sides of the aisle spoke about the fiscal 2027 Defense Department budget request at a House Armed Services Committee hearing attended by Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Daryl Caudle, acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao and Marine Corps Commandant Gen. Eric Smith. The hearing comes several days after the Navy released a shipbuilding plan that codified the possibility of the service looking to foreign partners for help.“I will echo some of my Democrat colleagues: As many ships as we can build in the United States, we want to build them,” said retired U.S. Navy SEAL Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wis. “I understand that we have to go outside of our lines of communications right now because we just have lost the capacity, but I firmly believe that our American men and women, our tradesmen and women, are the best in the world.”Van Orden added that filling current Navy production gaps through overseas means was acceptable, so long as the onus was equally placed on reviving the maritime industrial base in the U.S.Cao told…

Sometimes I think we forget how wild it was that in the 1999 NHL Draft, the Vancouver Canucks were able to draft identical twins Henrik and Daniel Sedin with the second and third picks. They both went on to play 17 seasons, all of them in Vancouver.Now, they’re officially co-presidents of the Canucks……And I’m kind of starting to wonder if they’re capable of doing anything independently. The Swedish brothers hung up their skates in 2018, and the two Hall of Famers started working in the Canucks front office in the year that followed.Now, the team is getting a fresh front office after the firing of GM Patrik Allvin and former president of hockey operations Jim Rutherford stepping down after the upcoming draft.”For the past 26 years, Daniel and Henrik have dedicated their entire professional hockey careers to Vancouver,” team owner Francesco Aquilini said, per NHL.com. “Whether it’s as players or in various management positions, they’ve always committed themselves to excellence.”Meanwhile, the team has also promoted Assistant General Manager Ryan Johnson to general manager.TORONTO MAPLE LEAFS DEFY SLIM ODDS TO WIN THE NO. 1 OVERALL PICK IN THE 2026 NHL DRAFT LOTTERYThis new Canucks brain trust has its work cut out…
