ESPN has a lock on SEC sports, and the last two football Sundays have been painful for the college football faithful.

If you have YouTube TV, all SEC sports are removed from your TV, unless you pay ESPN an additional $35 (I did this).

Governor-elect National Championship-winning Coach Tommy Tuberville (R-Auburn) has made it clear he does not like the current state of college football.

But, to Tuberville, the real issue is actually the transfer portal because it proves there is no concern about education at all.

The media and their Democrats have been seeking a Joe Rogan of their own for quite some time; their latest attempt is Internet commentator Jennifer Welch.

As Welch becomes more famous, her takes are becoming more deranged, and her latest attacks on women's sports activist Riley Gaines are particularly vile.

The sports media is obviously ignoring this, as is the news media, despite agreeing with Welch because they can't defend her framing.

Her 15 minutes are almost up.The media's latest "Joe Rogan of the Left" is attacking Riley Gaines for defending female sports

The Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani is quite possibly the best baseball player of all time.

He pitches and dominates, he hits and he dominates.
