The Ninth Circuit struck down an obviously unconstitutional California law trying to restrict federal immigration officers.

College football (and all of sports) is changing—for the worse. John looks at the purported plan to adopt a 24-team college football playoff.

John also discusses sports gambling and the "despair economy" of Gen Z.
