Maxx Crosby, Geno Smith Get Honest About Raiders Tanking
Whoever comes up short in the matchup between the Las Vegas Raiders and the New York Giants will be positioned to control the race for the No. 1 overall pick entering the final week of the 2025 NFL season. From an organizational standpoint, landing that spot would benefit the Silver and Black. Las Vegas need a quarterback who can energize their fanbase, and Indiana Hoosiers’ Fernando Mendoza fits that role. With Geno Smith failing to provide a long-term solution, Mendoza could give the Raider…

Content warning: photograph in linked article shows blood on a steering wheel

The first paragraphs of this article are big news (I think?? IANAL): the FBI tried to shut MN out of the investigation of ICE’s murder of Renee Good, which almost certainly is the start of a cover-up. Minnesota initially threw up its hands and said “well that sucks.”
Today we learn that Minnesota and Hennepin County are still gathering evidence themselves, apparently independently of the FBI. My hope is that this is in pursuit of state charges, in defiance of the Trump-controlled FBI.

Good Morning #Canada
Happy #Festivus everyone. I'm looking forward to the airing of grievances and performing feats of strength later today. But we also have to celebrate National Christmas Movie Marathon Day on December 23rd. Our pickings are slim if you want to limit yourself to Canadian classics of this holiday season. Sure, virtually every #Hallmak movie is filmed in Canada, apparently with variations of a single plot, but they don't count. Here's a list of 5 Canadian films provided by CBC to get you started and you can provide a community service by suggesting other titles for your fellow Canucks. For example, Uncle Buck feels like a Christmas movie solely because of John Candy. When your list is ready, you can wrap yourself in a Hudson's Bay blanket, munch on some Nanaimo Bars, and binge watch your favourites.
