if you watched the NFL and thought something didn't feel right, you're not alone:
#1 most flags in over a decade
thru 4 weeks, refs are impacting the most CRITICAL moments of games most:
#1 most red zone penalties per game by offenses in history
#1 most penalties on 3rd/4th downs in the second half of games in history
and 17 touchdowns nullified by penalty! (vs only 5 in 2025 & 4 in 2024)
Refs are impacting the most important moments of games unlike we've ever seen before in the NFL, and even some of the coaches are speaking up

Carlos Correa
One thing to note, this new injury was actually his healthier of his two ankles (left) as the ankle that gave him trouble and loss of $ all these years was to his right ankle.
Unclear as to the specifics, but this could range from a significant ligament injury to a potential ankle fracture.
Depending on specific timelines could range from 4-6 weeks to season-ending.
Astros SS Carlos Correa has a significant injury to his left ankle that will keep him out of action for weeks, or maybe even months, dealing Houston another massive injury blow, sources told MLB. com late Tuesday.

Catherine O’Hara died today, at 71. In an interview from 2019, the actor talked about her early days in comedy, why a romantic relationship wasn't in the cards for her and Eugene Levy, and her approach to improv (“when in doubt, play insane”).

Not only does intelligence not confer sound judgment, but intelligence properly understood (as intellectus) is bound up with, and shaped by, actual virtue. The virtuous person can literally know things that an unvirtous person cannot. The IQ bros have never really let that sink in; or rather they've never even stopped to consider it. By living well, one can know well.
