Ward previously criticized Biden for his debate performance in JuneFormer NFL star defensive back T.J. Ward appeared happy with election results after Fox News projected Donald Trump had defeated Vice President Kamala Harris for the presidency. Ward, a Super Bowl champion and three-time Pro Bowler, wrote his take on X. "I’m so glad we done with this Kamala foolery lmao," he wrote. "Sometimes you have to protect the fools from themselves. "At the end of the day America voted for America and the people put her in the hands of the most qualified candidate. Be mad if you want to....

Bill Belichick didn’t sugarcoat anything when he discussed the Massachusetts’ state income tax and the challenge it imposes on the Patriots signing free agents. The 72-year-old Belichick — who parted ways with the Patriots after 24 seasons and six Super Bowl titles in January — recalled negotiations being difficult in Foxboro due to state’s four percent surtax on taxable income more than $1 million, which was implemented in 2022. “That’s Taxachusetts,” Belichick said during an appearance on “The Pat McAfee Show” on Monday, which drew laughs from Pat McAfee and his co-host AJ Hawk. “Virtually every player, even the practice...

Many Super Bowls ago, we developed a theory about "credit.''.... Said Valdes-Scantling: "I helped Aaron (Rodgers) win a couple MVPs. I helped Pat win MVP, a couple Super Bowls. My resume speaks for itself, too. Ain’t a one-way thing, man.'' Did MVS help the Packers and the Chiefs? Of course he did. He was, however, a Chiefs role player, with - for instance, in 2023, 21 catches for 315 yards and one TD... So when he said, "I put up some big numbers with these guys,'' that's a Kansas City inflation of the facts. (And we won't even get into...

Brown claims his assets are worth just $50,000 or less, according to court documents Former NFL star wide receiver Antonio Brown has filed for bankruptcy. According to the Times Union, Brown owes nearly $3 million to eight different creditors as stated by paperwork filed on May 15 in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court of the Southern District of Florida. He reportedly filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which involves the court-supervised reorganization of a debtor's assets and liabilities. That amount includes a $1.2 million court judgment to Anton Tumanov -- a moving-truck driver who sued Brown for assault and battery during an...

An Israeli-funded Super Bowl ad calling for the return of fathers captured by Hamas in their October 7 attack on Israel drew more complaints than any other ad that ran during the championship game, Federal Communications Commission (FCC) documents claim. As TMZ Sports reports, the ad, titled Bring All Dads Back Home, conveyed the message, “All the dads held in captivity by Hamas for over 120 days, we vow to bring you home.” Fans on s ocial media and activists claim the ad lacked FCC-mandated disclaimers, making it clear that the Israeli government funded the content. Interestingly, as TMZ Sports...

Well done alternative to what ran during the Super Bowl

BOSTON (AP) — With back-to-back Super Bowl victories for the hometown Chiefs, Kansas City football fans gathered for another championship parade and a second celebratory pep rally in a row. Don’t expect there to be a third. Not because the Chiefs, with star quarterback Patrick Mahomes still just 28 years old, can’t win another NFL title. But even if they do, officials are unlikely to allow so many fans in one place to cheer them on, security experts said in the wake of Wednesday’s shooting just after the rally had ended. “They have to think twice about having these parades,”...

There wasn’t much to report regarding the latest updates on the Kansas City Super Bowl parade shooting other than it was a “dispute” among several people that led to gunfire. Three people were arrested—all juveniles. One has since been released after it was determined this individual was not part of the shooting, but two have been booked on firearm-related charges. One person was killed, with at least 20 injured—11 of them were children. Nine kids had gunshot wounds, but all survived. That’s the good news. We’re still waiting on the suspects' names and the real motive. What we do know...

Last year, The Dissenter reported on a proposed partnership between the Southern Baptist Convention’s North American Mission Board (NAMB) and a heretical “evangelism” ministry called He Gets Us. He Gets Us, as we demonstrated, is not only a gay-affirming ministry that will help you find a pro-LGBTQ church, but it also preaches a false gospel of inclusivism. He Gets Us is essentially a PR campaign for Jesus that attempts to make Jesus more palatable to the world. NAMB, which is led by Kevin Ezell, has a historical pattern of partnering with organizations without doing his due diligence. For example, NAMB...

This week, you’re probably going to see a lot of clips on social media and the blogosphere about churches who traded sound biblical preaching for stupid Super Bowl performances during worship service. Obviously, this demonstrates where their heart is, as their treasure is here on earth. But perhaps one of the lamest sermons I ran across, at least so far, is from Lifepoint Church in Rock Hill, SC, which is pastored by Nate Siemon and his wife. During the sermon, which they titled “Super Bowl of Preaching,” four “pastors,” including his wife, got up to preach one “quarter” of the...

Source: Joe Biden’s Official X/Twitter account (outpainted by The Gateway Pundit) On Sunday night, Joe Biden posted a creepy photo on X/Twitter that has left social media users puzzled. The image, featuring a sinister-looking depiction of dictator Joe Biden with glowing red eyes, was accompanied by a cryptic caption, “Just like we drew it up,” and an image description referring to it as “dark Brandon,” a play on the “Let’s Go Brandon” meme. The caption “Just like we drew it up” typically implies that a plan or idea has been executed exactly as it was conceived or strategized. The eerie...

White Tennessee Democrat Congressman Steve Cohen was incensed that Super Bowl fans did not stand in respect for what he called the “Negro National Anthem” during Sunday night’s big game. As it has for the last several championship games, the NFL opened the Super Bowl with the song “Life Every Voice and Sing,” which many agitators have proclaimed to be “the black national anthem.” Of course, it isn’t a “national anthem” at all, but regardless, Congressman Cohen was not happy that the video of fans in the stands showed that not many were standing as R&B singer Andra Day performed...

LAS VEGAS (KLAS) — Two people were arrested after police say they ran on the field during the Super Bowl at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on Sunday. With approximately five minutes remaining in the third quarter of the Super Bowl, the two individuals took the field at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. “Oh, we’ve got people on the field,” said announcer Tony Romo.

Joe Biden has shared a 'Dark Brandon' meme implying he and Taylor Swift plotted to have the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl. The image shows the president with red lasers as eyes, with the name coming from a meme that originally started out as a right-wing slogan, 'Let's Go Brandon' - coded to stand in for 'F*** Joe Biden.' It has now become an inside joke for Biden's supporters. Biden tweeted the image with the caption 'just like we drew it up' soon after the Chiefs won on Sunday night. The president was seemingly leaning in on claims...
