I've had one person in my life suffer from ALS. It is an experience I hope I never have to relive and I wouldn't wish that disease on anyone. There is nothing I know of that quite compares to it.

oh man, that sucks for him. Average life expectancy isn't great from diagnosis.

ALS is a cruel disease. It takes most of you away, then let's they little it leaves behind to wither away.

When it arrives, just start in on it at the correct dosage. Feel free to eat up the other stuff as well; some folks take in as much as 20g per day when doing a fast load saturation. If you're over 200 lbs, you could be taking 5-10 grams per day just fine, but I'm currently 240 lbs and still only do 5g, for now.

Of the two, between Gabriel and Sanders, I think just because of the hype around his name, Sanders brings the more attractive trade package. If nothing else, a rebuilding team could trade for him to put butts in the seats.

Sanders took more chances last year, and so he had the higher YPA. They had the same number of TDs, though, and Sanders had 5x the INTs with a terrible passer rating.
Sanders only had 10 more completions for 27 more attempts. Basically, Gabe's YPA absolutely sucked and it was straight up the OLine and WR. The reason that Shedeur had the better YPA is two things: he simply reverted to what he did behind that bad CU OLine and he took chances (offer terrible, panicked ones).

In college, the YPA metric was reversed, and because of that, I think there is a real chance that Gabriel outshines Shedeur this year.

We financially cannot absorb the cap hit of cutting him this year. He's here. All of that cap hit pushed to the future accelerates onto this year and next if we cut him (because even if we do it in August, it is a post-June 1 cut).

They were great games. We were switching back and forth between games.

The game is on Wednesday at 8 eastern actually.

Former Titans RB Chris Johnson Reveals ALS Diagnosis

NASHVILLE – Former Titans running back Chris Johnson revealed on Monday morning he has been diagnosed with ALS.

Johnson made his diagnosis public during an interview with Michael Strahan on ABC's Good Morning America.

"I want people to know I am still me," Johnson said. "ALS has changed what my body can do, but it hasn't changed who I am."

Johnson, who is 40, was diagnosed with ALS last year and the disease has spread rapidly. He now uses his eyes to trigger a speech-generating device to speak.

"If sharing my story helps even one person get diagnosed sooner, inspires more research, or gives another family hope," Johnson said, "it is worth it."

Often referred to as Lou Gehrig's Disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.

According to the ALS Association, the progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to death. Patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.

Former Titans linebacker Tim Shaw, who played from 2010-12 with the Titans, was diagnosed with ALS in 2014, not long after his six-year playing career ended. He has been battling the disease since, now using a wheelchair to maintain his mobility.

A first-round pick of the Titans in the 2008 NFL Draft, Johnson played from 2008-2013 in Tennessee.

"Some people leave a mark on an organization that you just can't put into words," Titans controlling owner Amy Adams Strunk said in a statement. "Chris Johnson is one of those people for us. His leadership on the field, in addition to his impact in the locker room and Nashville community have written him permanently into the story of this franchise.

"Learning this news is extremely difficult, and we will support Chris every step of the way throughout his journey. We are holding him and his family close, and join our fans around the world in expressing our love for Chris."

In the interview, Johnson said he first noticed weakness in his right hand last year, when his grip didn't feel right. But his condition began to worsen, and doctors ultimately gave him the diagnosis. Johnson said he reached out to Good Morning America after seeing a doctor discuss ALS, and potential experimental treatments.

"We hoped it was something else," Johnson said. "But after thorough testing, they finally came down with a diagnosis of ALS. They told us about a medication that might extend life by a few months, then they told us to get our affairs in order. It was hard hearing that."

In 10 NFL seasons, Johnson rushed for 9,651 yards and 55 touchdowns, while adding another 2,255 yards and nine receiving touchdowns.

In 2024, Johnson was inducted into the Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame.

During an interview with TennesseeTitans.com in 2024, Johnson said he fell in love with the city, while Titans fans fell in love with him.

"I love Tennessee," said Johnson, who played six of his 10 NFL seasons with the Titans. "I come back all the time. The city embraced me, the fans loved me. Everyone around the city – and the whole state, for that matter – embraced me. Nashville, and Tennessee, will always be my second home. It will aways be a place I come to.

"I love the city of Nashville and the state of Tennessee. No matter where I am, I always seem to run into somebody from Tennessee and they are so nice to me."

Johnson had 1,742 carries for 7,965 yards and scored 58 touchdowns in 95 games for the Titans in his career.

In 2009, Johnson ran for 2,006 yards with the Titans while setting a single-season NFL record with 2,509 yards from scrimmage. He was named the NFL's Offensive Player of the Year, along with first-team All-Pro.

It was the time of his life, Johnson said.

"I was 21 years old when I first got there," said Johnson in 2024. "I grew up there, in Tennessee, learned a lot, learned how to be on my own. I went from not having money, to having money and learning what I wanted to do with it. There was some maturing going on. It was a whole lot of growing up.

"And I loved playing football. I had some great teammates, great coaches. I have so many great memories."

Johnson, who has four children, including twin sons, has remained involved in Titans events since his playing days ended. He's also hosted a podcast, "Smash & Dash," with his friend and former teammate, LenDale White.

In recent years, Johnson has also expressed an interest in a career in scouting. He was invited to NFL Scout School at the Senior Bowl to expand his knowledge and determine just what his overall interest might be, and he has worked mentoring running backs in Mobile.

During a mock draft roundup leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, Johnson was the only person among 160 TennesseeTitans.com pollsters to correctly tab Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate to the Titans.

"I told you," Johnson replied with a pair of laughing emojis on April 23, the night of the draft.

Today, Johnson is battling a serious disease, and he's asking for prayers. He said he wants more time with his wife, and his children.

"Honestly, I don't know if you ever fully process it," Johnson said. "At first, you are in shock, and then you realize you have two choices: You can give up, or you can fight. I chose to fight.

"(ALS) has continued to progress much faster than I imagined. I want people to understand just how quickly ALS can attack your body. … I still think the same, I still dream, I still love my family. My body just doesn't cooperate.

"Having doctors who are willing to collaborate and explore every reasonable option has meant a lot to my family," Johnson continued. "Right now there isn't a cure, but we are seeing more research, more clinical trials, and more promising ideas than ever before. Seeing how hard these doctors and researchers are working gives me hope. As long as they are fighting for people with ALS, I am going to keep fighting, too."

I too agree Gabriel is more likely the backup QB. Gabriel is head smart of the game. He is more of a benefit supporting the QB room with game prep and film analysis.

If you think about it, who would you rather have in the QB room helping a rookie QB Gabriel or Sanders?

The role of the backup QB is different than most people think. Well known backup QBs were Ryan Fitzpatrick, Charlie Batch, Chase Daniel, Gary Kubiak, and Frank Reich. I think Dillion Gabriel fits right in with this group.

Don't put too much money on it, you won't make anything! USA is heavily favored at -750.

The ends of the Egypt vs Iran and Austria vs Algeria matches were absolutely wild finishes.

Trump threatens U.S. military will "complete the job" if Iran doesn't comply with ceasefire

President Trump confirmed the U.S. airstrikes on Iran Saturday and said that the strikes were carried out for "violating" the ceasefire agreement.

"United States aircraft just struck Iranian missile and drone storage locations, and coastal radar sites, for violating the Cease Fire Agreement, AGAIN!" Mr. Trump said in a Truth Social post.

The president issued an aggressive threat in the post, saying it was possible Iran "may never learn."

"There may come a point when we are no longer able to be reasonable, and will be forced to militarily complete the job that we very successfully started," the president said. "If that happens, the Islamic Republic of Iran will no longer exist!"

Iran says it carried out strikes against U.S. military sites in Kuwait, Bahrain in retaliation for U.S. attack

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said on Sunday local time that it carried out strikes against Kuwait and Bahrain in retaliation for U.S. attacks on Iranian territory, warning any further aggression would be met with a "crushing response."

The Guards "destroyed eight important US military facilities at the Ali al-Salem base in Kuwait and at the Fifth Fleet naval base in Port Salman in Bahrain," they said in a statement.

"Any enemy aggression, whatever the pretext, even against insignificant targets... will have a crushing response," the Guards added.

There are no reported U.S. casualties, major impacts or damage to U.S. locations at this time.

Iran's Revolutionary Guard threatens "complete halt" to talks if ceasefire is violated

Iran's Revolutionary Guard claimed responsibility for the attacks in Bahrain and Kuwait, saying it targeted Al Asad Air Base in Kuwait.

"Let the enemy know that violating the ceasefire ... will lead to a complete halt of ongoing processes," the Guard added.

The Guard, which controls Iran's ballistic missile arsenal, answers only to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Mojtaba Khamenei and is thought to be wielding even greater influence now in the Islamic Republic.

The U.S. military said that "Iran had a chance to honor the ceasefire agreement" but "elected not to" when its forces attacked the Kiku.

According to ship-tracking websites, the Kiku appeared to be attempting to use a route established near the coast of Oman, serving as an alternative to the route sanctioned by Iran that runs through its own waters, when it was attacked.

Iran warns challenge to Hormuz routes will spike Middle East tensions

Iran's top diplomat warned Sunday that any attempt to bypass the Strait of Hormuz routes agreed with the United States would "increase tensions" in the Middle East, as the countries traded attacks and accusations of violating a fragile truce.

"Any attempt to adopt new or separate arrangements compared to what is underway by the Islamic Republic of Iran, will only lead to more complicated situations and delays in the reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, and will increase the tensions," Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said.

"I urge all parties... to adhere to the memorandum of understanding and not to allow this MoU to deviate from its course."

Iran's Revolutionary Guards said Sunday they were taking measures to control traffic in the strait – through which in peacetime around a fifth of the world's oil and liquefied natural gas exports travel – and that violating vessels would be dealt with more firmly than before.

Israel strikes south Lebanon despite framework agreement to end hostilities

Israel renewed its strikes on Lebanon on Sunday, Lebanese state media reported, two days after an agreement was signed by the two countries, which a Hezbollah lawmaker warned would lead to "internal conflict".

The strikes come a day after one person was killed in an Israeli strike on the south, according to Lebanon's health ministry, with the Israeli military saying it targeted Hezbollah members near its self-proclaimed "security zone", which reaches 10 kilometres (6 miles) into Lebanon.

Lebanon's state-run National News Agency reported several strikes on Sunday.

The Israeli army said a soldier "fell in combat" in southern Lebanon.

In a later statement, Israeli military chief Eyal Zamir approved plans for "continued operations in the security zone, in accordance with the ceasefire agreement".

No Iranian missiles hit U.S. assets in Bahrain and Kuwait, official says

A U.S. official told CBS News on Sunday morning that no drones or missiles launched by Iran at U.S. assets in Bahrain and Kuwait last night reached their targets, with some shot down or intercepted.

The official said there were no U.S. injuries or impacts on U.S. assets.

RO 32 all set. USA has an easier have against Bosnia and Herzegovina on Thursday. Anything can happen but I'd put money on them advancing.

Once the 2026 season ends.

There will be a reckoning. DW will be gone.

There is a possibility that Gabriel could be traded. He may be playing for the back-up role. Monken will make decisions about his future with the team.

Sanders and his future with the team for right now falls clearly in the to be determined camp.

His play will determine his future.

Green is a project. He must show consistent improvement or he will be cut.

The 2027 season could begin with all the current quarterbacks gone. They will draft a quarterback. They may also sign a veteran bridge or back-up.

Shedeur and Gabriel are playing for their future with the team.

Berry is at a crossroads. He is fully aware that the mission statement is - "find a quarterback."

Much has been made of DeShaun Watson and cap considerations, but there really is no benefit, financially, gained by keeping him on the roster this year. From what I have read, the Browns restructured his contract so that some $80 million is pushed to 2027 and 2028 as a bonus. (received whether on the roster, or not) If he doesn't truly earn the starting position in training camp, I can easily see the Browns cutting their loses and dropping him.

I don't disagree. It just looks to me like he won't even make the team. I think Gabe has the make-up to be a solid backup in the NFL if not a starter. No matter how it works out with the starter, we will still need a back-up next season. I don't see Sanders as being a good backup. Sanders is either going to take hold and be the long term starter or he won't. Again, I just don't see the guy as being a solid backup to a new drafted rookie if we go that route..

Don’t get me wrong, I’m rooting for the Sanders show. I’m secretly hoping Watson tears another ligament. I’d love to get more insurance from the cap from him.

Trump advisors warned him he is losing the war against algae. Immediately after being told this he requested 300 billion dollars from congress to fight the war in Algaeria.

If Charlie Kirk sees black angels in heaven will he claim they are DEI angels?

Governor Blasts Great American State Fair Over Confederate Flag in NC Booth

North Carolina Democratic Governor Josh Stein's office has condemned a display at the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., which included altered versions of the state flag featuring the Confederate's "Southern Cross."

The controversy erupted after journalist Reuben Jones posted footage from the North Carolina exhibit featuring two versions of the state flag with the Confederate battle emblem superimposed over the design.

A spokesperson for Stein said the video display of the flags misrepresented North Carolina and called on organizers to remove it.

"This display does not reflect the North Carolina that we love. America 250 is about unity and bringing our nation together. Glorifying this divisive Confederate symbol does the exact opposite. We demand the organizers stop dishonoring the flag of North Carolina," they said.

The exhibit is part of the Great American State Fair, an event celebrating the nation's upcoming 250th anniversary.

Newsweek has reached out to Freedom 250, the organizers of the fair, via email for comment.

A spokesperson for the North Carolina booth told Spectrum News that it had become aware of an "unapproved image in a video displayed inside the North Carolina Pavilion" on Friday. "As soon as we were made aware, we immediately removed the video and began reviewing how it occurred. Our focus remains on celebrating America’s 250th birthday and North Carolina’s role in our nation’s history.”

The video display, which showed the current North Carolina flag split with the Confederate flag, has since been removed.

The videos prompted criticism from historians, political figures and businesses participating in the North Carolina exhibit.

Stephen Jackson, a historian who specializes in North Carolina's past, wrote on X: "Unlike former flags from Georgia and Mississippi, the official flag of NC has NEVER incorporated the Confederate Battle Flag in its design. Shame on whoever is running this booth."

Democratic advocacy group Carolina Forward also criticized the display, posting: "So the privately-sponsored North Carolina booth at Trump's fair features not one, but two altered versions of the state flag with a big stars-and-bars on it. Disgusting."

Meanwhile, one of the exhibit's corporate sponsors, Mt. Olive Pickle Company, announced it was withdrawing after learning about the display.

In a statement shared by Jones, the company said: "Mt. Olive Pickle Company was invited to participate in the North Carolina exhibit for the Great American State Fair in Washington, D.C., as part of America's 250th celebration. We are proud of our North Carolina roots, and we agreed to be a part of an exhibit, as presented to us, that would represent the best of our great state.

"We were unaware that an image of the Confederate flag was included in a video as part of this exhibit, and we have withdrawn our participation. Our company stands on values of human dignity, opportunity, and freedom."

115 vessels, 2,500 sailors evacuated from Strait of Hormuz since Tuesday, says U.N. maritime agency

About 115 vessels and 2,500 sailors have been evacuated from the Persian Gulf via the Strait of Hormuz since Tuesday, the head of the United Nations' International Maritime Organization said Friday.

Secretary-General Arsenio Dominguez gave the update after the agency on Thursday suspended its efforts to evacuate some 600 ships and 11,000 sailors, following an attack on a vessel in the Gulf of Oman that U.S. Central Command said was carried out by Iran.

Dominguez said during an online news conference that "115 [vessels] have evacuated in the last three and a half days, representing around 2,500 seafarers that have now safely left the Strait of Hormuz."

It was unclear whether the operation had resumed.

Iran issues harsh condemnation of Gulf countries following Rubio meeting

Iran issued a strong condemnation of this week's Gulf Cooperation Council meeting on Friday, singling out the Gulf countries for agreeing with the U.S. position on the war with Iran.

The meeting, which involves the countries of Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, was attended this week by Secretary of State Marco Rubio. A lengthy statement issued after the meeting condemned Iran's attacks on neighboring countries and affirmed the need for free transit of the Strait of Hormuz.

Though the United States wasn't mentioned by name, the implication was clear.

"There is no doubt that Iran is more committed to the collective security of the region than any other party," Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baqaei said on X. "And if the Gulf Cooperation Council believes that resolving this concern lies in seeking protection from the greatest violator of security, then that in itself constitutes a deviation from the intended goal, a bitter paradox, and a disappointing indicator of failing to learn from the recent bitter experiences."

Iran has regularly fired missiles and drones at several of the members of the GCC during the war.

Like the U.S. and Israel, Iran repeatedly invoked the need for self-defense in its statement.

"Iran's national security and dignity are matters that brook no compromise or condition; just as the inherent right to legitimate self-defense is not open to discussion, the means of this defense cannot be subject to bargaining or concession with any party," Baqaei wrote.

2:19 PM / June 26, 2026
Israel, Lebanon agree to framework of deal for "lasting peace and security"

Israel and the government of Lebanon have agreed to the framework of a deal to bring "lasting peace and security" between the neighboring countries, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced Friday.

"Today is a good day in that we are happy to announce the framework agreement between the sovereign government of Lebanon and, of course, the government of Israel, with the mediation and support of the United States of America, that begins to put in place a framework for lasting peace and security," Rubio told reporters at the State Department after several days of negotiations between the two sides.

However, the negotiations did not include Hezbollah, the Iran-backed militia that has been involved in the fighting against Israel in southern Lebanon. A previous deal between Israel and Lebanon was quickly rejected by Hezbollah.

Rubio referred to the deal as "the first step" in the pursuit of a lasting peace.

"The people of Israel deserve to live in peace and security. The people of northern Israel in particular, who have been targeted repeatedly by terrorist attacks launched from the territory of Lebanon, but not by the Lebanese people, not by the Lebanese government, but by an outside actor who has sought to use that territory to target innocent civilians who have been unable to live in these places for a long time," he said, referring to Hezbollah.

It was not immediately clear how the trilateral framework agreement was any different than the ceasefire agreement already in place between Lebanon and Israel, which has been repeatedly defied by Hezbollah with daily attacks against an Israeli military it says is occupying sovereign territory.

Israel's prime minister's office released a statement saying it will "maintain its security zone along the Yellow Line in Lebanon until the day when Hezbollah and other terrorist organizations in Lebanon are disarmed and no longer pose a threat to the territory of the State of Israel from Lebanon."

That would seem to directly contradict Hezbollah and Iran's assertion that Israel withdraw from Lebanese territory in order to further negotiate a lasting peace deal with the U.S.

Trump says "nobody saw" drone that hit cargo ship in Strait of Hormuz

Describing the U.S. response to a drone strike that President Trump blamed on Iran, the president said one got through unnoticed and struck a ship on Thursday.

"We knocked down three of them. One of them, I guess - we didn't miss it. Nobody saw it coming," Mr. Trump said on Friday.

He made the comment while addressing the Faith and Freedom Coalition policy conference in Washington after remarking that Iran still has "some capability, not much."

"You can't do that stuff," he added. Earlier on Friday he called the strike a violation of the ceasefire agreement between Iran and the United States.

4:15 PM / June 26, 2026
Will Iran face consequences for strike on ship? "You'll find out," Trump says.

President Trump was asked by a reporter in the Oval Office whether Iran would face any consequences for carrying out a drone strike on a cargo ship in the Strait of Hormuz.

"You'll find out," Mr. Trump said.

Asked if the ceasefire between the U.S. and Iran was still in place, the president said, "I don't like the fact that they took a shot yesterday – actually four, we knocked down three – at a ship, not an allied ship, but a ship, a very expensive ship."

"They shouldn't be doing that," Mr. Trump said.

4:58 PM / June 26, 2026
U.S. strikes targets in Iran after drone attack on cargo ship

The U.S. military says it hit Iranian targets on Friday over Iran's drone attack on a commercial vessel in the Strait of Hormuz, marking the first American strikes on Iran since the two countries agreed to extend an already rickety ceasefire last week.

The strikes targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities and radar sites, U.S. Central Command said in a statement posted to social media, calling it a "powerful response" to Iran's "dangerous behavior."

Retaliatory strikes against Iran are ongoing, U.S. official says

House Dem says war isn't "anywhere near over" as U.S. conducts retaliatory strikes

A House Democrat said Friday's retaliatory strikes by the U.S. against Iran showed that the war isn't ending anytime soon.

"I don't think this war is anywhere near over," Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, a Democrat from Virginia, said on CBS News' "The Takeout" Friday.

He also doubted the memorandum of understanding between the U.S. and Iran would hold up.

"Iran is difficult to deal with in the first place, and then you have an administration that has showed itself to be incompetent when it comes to foreign affairs and diplomacy, and so that's why you have the breakdown of all these frameworks," Subramanyam said.

5:52 PM / June 26, 2026
U.S. hits multiple targets in retaliatory strikes against Iran, official says

U.S. aircraft hit multiple targets along the Strait of Hormuz and on Iran's Qeshm Island during Friday's retaliatory strikes against Iran, a U.S. official told CBS News after the strikes concluded.

6:33 PM / June 26, 2026
"Violence will be met with violence," Vance says after U.S. retaliatory strikes

Vice President JD Vance said "violence will be met with violence" after the U.S. carried out retaliatory strikes against Iran on Friday.

"Iran signed a ceasefire agreement. We have honored it. If they have disagreements about how the MOU is being applied, they can pick up the phone," Vance said on social media, referring to the memorandum of understanding between the two countries. "But violence will be met with violence."

8:57 PM
U.S. hit 4 targets in strikes against Iran, U.S. official says

The U.S. strikes on Iran hit four targets and were carried out by six land-based U.S. aircraft, a U.S. official told CBS News after the strikes concluded.

The strikes targeted Iranian missile and drone storage facilities and radar sites, U.S. Central Command had said in a statement posted to social media, calling it a "powerful response" to Iran's "dangerous behavior."

6:01 AM
Tanker reports strike by "unidentified projectile" in Strait of Hormuz

The U.K. Maritime Trade Operations, which receives reports of suspicious activity from all vessels in the Gulf region, said a tanker in the Strait of Hormuz reported being struck by an "unidentified projectile."

The ship sustained damage to its bridge, the UKMTO said, but no injuries were reported.

No details about the tanker or the projectile were immediately available. The incident was reported at around 11:30 a.m. local time.

6:07 AM
Iran targets Bahrain with drone attack: "A flagrant threat"

Iran launched a drone assault targeting Bahrain after overnight airstrikes by the United States.

The attacks across the Persian Gulf show the danger of the Iran war again spinning out of control, even after Iran and the U.S. reached an interim deal to try and agree on a final accord to end the conflict.

The U.S. had launched its airstrikes in response to an Iranian drone attack on a ship trying to get out of the strait on Thursday, continuing a string of attacks that have shaken the uneasy ceasefire in the war.

That Iran targeted Bahrain likely was not coincidental. The kingdom has been one of the strongest critics of Iran and is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet. It just hosted U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio for a meeting of the Gulf Cooperation Council's foreign ministers, which ended with a call for an end to Iran's attacks and the strait to be completely open.

A statement from Bahrain's Foreign Ministry said a "number of Iranian drones" targeted the country. It called the attack "a flagrant threat to the security of citizens and residents."

Iran's paramilitary Revolutionary Guard earlier on Saturday issued a statement carried by the state-run IRNA news agency saying it had targeted several locations "of the U.S. terrorist army in the region." It did not name what areas were targeted.

6:19 AM
U.S. Navy says sea route near Oman is expanding to allow more Strait of Hormuz traffic

A maritime body overseen by the U.S. Navy said Saturday that a route through the Strait of Hormuz near Oman's shores is expanding to allow for both inbound and outbound traffic.

The announcement by the Joint Maritime Information Center serves as another warning to Iran that the U.S. is pushing to reopen the strait.

Iran has insisted ships must obey its orders and is warning it will start charging fees for transit through the strait, through which a fifth of all oil and natural gas once passed.

The U.S. and Gulf Arab states have rejected Iran's demands. The strait is considered around the world as an international waterway, despite being the territorial waters of Iran and Oman.

7:46 AM
Gulf allies condemn Iranian strikes on Bahrain

Several countries in the Gulf — all allies of the United States or members of the Gulf Cooperation Council, which condemned Iran's actions earlier this week — have voiced support for Bahrain following Iranian drone strikes.

The United Arab Emirates said it "condemned in the strongest terms the hostile drone attacks by Iran that targeted the Kingdom of Bahrain."

Kuwait's foreign ministry said in a statement: "The Ministry affirms that the continuation of these attacks, at a time when regional and international efforts are aimed at de-escalation and reducing tensions, constitutes a serious undermining of peace and stability efforts and a threat to the security and stability of the region."

Egypt wrote that it "stands alongside the Kingdom of Bahrain in confronting anything that threatens its security and territorial integrity."

9:22 AM
Hezbollah rejects latest Lebanon-Israel agreement, calls it "a disgrace"

Hezbollah has rejected the trilateral agreement between the U.S., Israel and Lebanon, calling it a "humiliation" and a "disgrace."

Secretary of State Marco Rubio announced the deal on Friday after several days of negotiations, though there were no substantial differences from the ceasefire that Israel and Lebanon were already operating under, which also did not involve negotiations with the Iranian-backed, Lebanon-based Hezbollah militant group.

"The Framework Agreement in Washington is a humiliation, a disgrace, and a surrender of sovereignty," Hezbollah Secretary-General Sheikh Naim Qassem said in a lengthy statement picking apart the deal. "This agreement is null and void, and the provisions of the Iranian-American Memorandum of Understanding must be implemented.

"We will continue, through all necessary means and international and Arab pressure, to ensure that the Israeli enemy complies with the first article of the Memorandum of Understanding and withdraws from Lebanon."

The first part of the 14-point memorandum of understanding signed between the U.S. and Israel 10 days ago calls for the "immediate and permanent end to military operations on all fronts, including in Lebanon" and, according to a senior U.S. official, ensures "the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Lebanon."

Israel has indicated it has no plans to withdraw from southern Lebanon and the trilateral agreement signed Friday seems to contradict the MOU. The trilateral agreement states Israel will exit Lebanese territory only "pending the verified disarmament of non-state armed groups and dismantlement of associated infrastructure," a reference to Hezbollah.

Qassem stated in their rejection of Friday's deal: "We will continue as a Resistance in the field until the occupation is defeated. We did not abandon the battlefield in its most difficult moments, and we will not abandon it now, for this is the path to goodness and salvation."

I cannot speculate on DW's motivation.

He has generational wealth.

IMO he is not very good at football. I saw nothing from him as a quarterback to make me feel like he could ever be what he once was.

Health is a big factor. I can understand him looking good in OTA's. However, once he faces live ammo. I think what we saw in his recent past is what we will see again.

He does not handle pressure well. His mobility is diminished. A twice repaired Achilles is far from sound and more likely to be damaged again.

The future is more likely in the draft.

However, I would like to see Shedeur play. I want to see him with a full amount of practice and a OL that is at least average.

If he plays and shows no real improvement. So be it.

What a petty little man. But at least you are willing to admit it.


No, it was someone searching for anything and everything negative they could come up with to go after Myles. Pay attention next time.


Allow me to point out just what you have taken issue with. First something I never said. I didn't say it was okay to speed. What I simply said is that in the grand scheme of things it isn't a huge issue.

Domestic violence is something that runs rampant in the NFL. Lions CB Terrion Arnold was arrested just this past week on eight felony counts that carry possible life sentence. There is a very long list of NFL players that have committed felonies including many violent felonies.

And then of course there's that NFL policy on speeding tickets. No, wait....

In comparison speeding is pretty trivial. Anyone can see that and only someone like you would take the opposite position and claim it's the fault of someone else for comprehending that.

Look at the laws themselves. Look at what level of crimes they are. Felonies verses misdemeanors verses traffic violations. Even the penalties and severity of the laws as they are categorized shows plainly you are doing nothing but being ridiculous. But hey, if that's your game let's play some more. I'm ready and so far you have shown you have no comprehension of even by legal standards speeding pales in comparison to conduct of many players.
