Deshaun Watson Might Go To NFL Jail
A key takeaway from the Sixth Street shooting this weekend is that police presence is not preventing any violence. So what's the solution? Is there a solution? Though Deshaun Watson has avoided criminal prosecution for the time being, he still faces the possibility of NFL jail (which is suspension). If the commissioner thinks he needs to be suspended, he'll be suspended.

Another Bad Ukrainian Poem?
Unless you're Ukrainian, please stop writing poems about Ukraine. People like AnnaLynne McCord and Bono don't need to be writing poems. And they definitely don't need to be read by Nancy Pelosi.
