An ICE agent scanned the wrong license plate, chased the wrong man, and ended up shooting Julio Sosa-Celis through his own front door. DHS’s first story: Sosa-Celis attacked agents with a broom and snow shovel. City surveillance video proved that was false — the whole struggle lasted about 12 seconds. DHS admitted its agents gave “untruthful” sworn testimony. Charges against Sosa-Celis were dropped with prejudice.
The agent, Christian Castro, is now charged with 4 counts of assault + falsely reporting a crime. He fled to Texas.
Greg Abbott is refusing to extradite him. Minnesota’s AG just sued Abbott to force it.
A Republican governor is actively shielding a federal agent from facing trial for shooting an innocent man and lying about it under oath.
Texas, you have a job to do in November. And then justice can finally be delivered.

God damn, this is a good tweet Ryan.
@TroyAikman always says sacks are a Quarterback stat. I think the O-line obviously plays a huge role in these numbers as well, but the QB plays a bigger role in Sacks than what is often presented by the media. This illustrates it so well.
It was obvious watching Drew Brees, sacks were going to be hard. That ball is getting out
Anyone arguing that sack rate is not heavily tied to the quarterback is fighting a losing proposition.
Among quarterbacks with at least 4,500 combined regular season and postseason pass attempts, the five lowest combined sack rates in NFL history belong to:
Dan Marino: 3.13%
Peyton Manning: 3.19%
Drew Brees: 3.83%
Tom Brady: 4.42%
Patrick Mahomes: 4.64%
Now look at what happened to their franchises before, during and after their tenures.
DAN MARINO
Same team and same season:
1983 David Woodley: 10.1%
1983 Dan Marino: 3.3%
Marino in 1984: 2.3%
Marino's final season: 2.4%
2000 Dolphins after he retired: 6.2%
PEYTON MANNING
Indianapolis:
1997 Colts: 10.6%
1998 rookie Peyton: 3.7%
2010 Peyton: 2.3%
2011 Colts without Peyton: 6.2%
2012 Andrew Luck: 6.1%
Denver:
2011 Broncos: 8.9%
2012 Peyton arrives: 3.5%
2015 Peyton: 4.6%
2016, first season after retirement: 6.6%
DREW BREES
New Orleans:
2005 Saints: 6.9%
2006 Brees arrives: 3.1%
2020 Brees: 3.2%
2021 Saints after he retired: 6.8%
PATRICK MAHOMES
Kansas City:
2017 Alex Smith: 6.5%
2018 Mahomes: 4.3%
Same 2019 Chiefs team:
Patrick Mahomes: 3.4%
Matt Moore: 8.1%
Mahomes' sack rate has climbed in each of the last two seasons:
2023: 4.3%
2024: 5.8%
2025: 6.3%
That trend is worth watching as he returns from the major knee injury.
TOM BRADY
New England's injury test:
2007 Brady: 3.5%
2008 Matt Cassel: 8.3%
2009 Brady: 2.8%
New England when Brady left:
2019 Brady: 4.2%
2020 Patriots: 7.8%
Tampa Bay:
2019 Jameis Winston: 7.0%
2020-22 Brady: 3.1%
2023-25 Baker Mayfield: 6.5%
Joe Burrow is a notable quarterback who has not been associated with a decreased sack rate.
2019 Bengals before Burrow: 7.2%
2020 rookie Joe Burrow: 7.3%
Same 2025 Bengals team:
Joe Burrow: 17 sacks on 276 pass plays, 6.2%
Joe Flacco: 9 sacks on 265 pass plays, 3.4%
Sack rate does not belong solely to the offensive line. Quarterback play is often the biggest variable.

My friend was going through his uncle's stuff and found the most mind blowing conversation captured on an answering machine from the 80's

Whitney Houston’s iconic bow is one of the most graceful and elegant signs of gratitude I ever seen.
I could watch her do this a million times.

Dear music venues,
Please consider hiring staff (hosts, waiters, & bartenders) that actually appreciate and respect the artists and their artform. It will make all the difference in the performance your customers are paying to hear as well as the overall energy in the room.

Under the cover of darkness, at 4:30am, far-right members of the Louisiana state legislature just advanced a new gerrymandered map out of committee that 𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗲’𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗮𝗷𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝘆-𝗕𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝘁𝘀.
40,000 votes had been cast in the district's election but it didn't matter, they suspended the election via a 'State of Emergency' and told voters their votes were null. We have returned our state 125 years to the era of Jim Crow. With every generation I’m reminded how vile America has been to my people. This has nothing to do with political parties. This is a white racist attack to destroy the Black community’s political power.

It takes more than 800,000 streams per month to make the equivalent of a $15/hour job, and the vast majority of music artists on platforms like Spotify never get to that number. I introduced the Living Wage for Musicians Act to fight for the fair pay that musicians deserve.
