'I'm done': MAGA actor James Woods says he's no longer a Republican

Far-right actor James Woods announced on X Friday that he is leaving the Republican Party — because Republicans in Congress aren't willing to be aggressive enough in support of President Donald Trump and his conspiracy theories.

The catalyst for Woods' anger appears to be a far-right account that posted a video from Lindell TV of Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) complaining that the House GOP refused to sign on to her subpoena to pursue racist conspiracy theories against Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN).

Tony Dungy Confirms the Worst, Drops Explosive Truth Bomb on NBC’s ‘Sunday Night Football’

All good things must come to an end, and that is what happened to Tony Dungy. He was a staple analyst on NBC’s Football Night in America for 17 seasons, joining the network in 2009. It all ended last month, when reports indicated he had been removed from his regular role as part of a major revamp of the pregame show.

The Athletic’s Andrew Marchan reported that the network was planning to “revamp” its signature pregame show before Sunday Night Football. Marchand added that Dungy was “likely out” as a regular on the show.

NASCAR suspends Ram truck series driver over 'gay voice' remarks

NASCAR suspended Daniel Dye, a 22-year-old NASCAR driver on Ram's truck series lineup, after he made comments deemed insensitive on a livestream about an IndyCar driver.

Dye, who drives the No. 10 Ram 1500 in the NASCAR Truck Series, appeared on a social media livestream to open motorsport trading cards and talk with fans. During the stream, he discussed an interaction he had with IndyCar driver David Malukas.

NASCAR was put on Earth by a divine power to be the direct opposite of F1.

Both F1 and NASCAR used to actually live up to their images. F1 really was by and for European aristocrats, and NASCAR really was by and for southern rural moonshiners who had started out by racing the hot rod delivery cars they'd modified to evade cops and ATF agents. They're both more like other sports now, but the roots are still there.

Bark River Knives, of Michigan, makes and sells American-made knives. Now, it's closing its business because they've used Chinese steel in some of their knives and labeled them as being American-made.

Bark River Knives, a well-known knifemaker based in Escanaba, Michigan, has shuttered its business in the wake of revelations regarding the steel used in some of its blades. The fixed-blade knife manufacturer has now admitted to using Chinese steel in several of its models, even though the knives were labeled and marketed as CPM 154 steel and made in the USA.
https://www.yahoo.com/finance/markets/s ... 12137.html

Here's the problem he had. If he had been honest and said which knives were made with Chinese steel he would probably still be in business. Most Americans wouldn't care where the steel came from but would be more concerned about the quality of the knives instead. More than likely, the quality of the knives wouldn't have change.

Jimmy Fallon’s Tonight Show MC apologises to BTS for ‘racist’ joke at recording

Comedian Seth Herzog has reportedly apologised after making a joke during a pre-recording of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.

TMZ reports that the warm-up host, 55, asked the audience during Wednesday's (25 March) taping: “Anybody here from the North? No? Nobody?" during a segment asking people where they came from.

i read thru that and still dont know what racist shit they said or did.

[ZoWie]

The problem seems to be that BTS is a Korean hip-hop band made up of teenage and/or pre-teen Koreans. Fallon asked the audience, "Anyone here from the North?" Apparently that has a hidden meaning when you're dealing with Koreans.

Since I lost all interest in current pop music when hip-hop swept everything before it and then lasted longer than hard rock did, I had to look it up online to find out what all the fuss was about.

CBS cancels show starring 2 Saturday Night Live alumni

CBS is just not a good place for late-night TV stars right now. The network has finalized its scripted lineup for the 2026–2027 season, and one comedy series starring two Saturday Night Live alumni didn’t make the cut.

CBS announced it axed DMV, the single-camera workplace comedy centered on the everyday chaos of a Department of Motor Vehicles office. The show featured an ensemble cast that included former Saturday Night Live cast members Tim Meadows and Molly Kearney. The series also featured a guest appearance from former SNL standout Leslie Jones in one episode.

We don't need the CBS/NBC/ABC triumvirate any more. There are two possible alternatives, both of which involve the increased use of Internet for content delivery. This is a brave new world.

Golden Knights Fire Bruce Cassidy, Name John Tortorella Head Coach

A massive storyline has emerged this afternoon as the Vegas Golden Knights have fired Bruce Cassidy and named John Tortorella their new head coach in an announcement from the team.

Currently third in the Pacific Division with more than an 80% chance to make the playoffs per Moneypuck, Vegas’ decision to part ways with the franchise’s most accomplished coach, in late March no less, comes as a shock. With just eight games remaining in the regular season, the group will now be led by Tortorella, who last coached with the Flyers until being fired 367 days ago.
