So too was much of the political universe, which has become bleary-eyed obsessive about Twitter these past four years as Trump used the medium to fire advisers, sink legislative initiatives, encourage social duress and, lastly, praise the scores of MAGA faithful, just days after hundreds of them violently ransacked the Capitol. In a statement issued by the White House, Trump said he’d been “negotiating with various other sites” while “we also look at the possibilities of building out our own platform in the near future.” But aides did not reveal what plans were in the works. When Trump’s eldest son, Don Jr. offered up a URL to those hoping to keep tabs of his father’s whereabouts, it was a site that had been purchased in 2009 and, in recent years, a place where his books were sold. For those who did sign up, an email was sent, plugging his latest work: “Liberal Privilege”. “As you know, the election is coming up,” it read, of the contest that took place two months ago. For Trump, the Twitter ban was yet another inglorious passage to the final chapter of his presidency. Over the past two days, he’s been admonished by his own…

The NFL postseason hasn’t even begun, but the offseason is already kicking into high gear, particularly for the Houston Texans and quarterback Deshaun Watson. This week, the Texans hired former New England Patriots director of player personnel Nick Caserio to be the team’s general manager after firing former general manager and coach Bill O’Brien during the 2020 season. When the hiring was announced, Watson fired off a cryptic message in a now-deleted tweet, saying “Some things never change.” The tweet appeared to be directed at the team for bringing on Caserio. Now, there are rumors he may request a trade. According to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, Watson has brought up the possibility of requesting a trade to some of his teammates, adding fuel to this growing fire. Watson was drafted by the Texans in 2017 after they moved up to select their franchise quarterback. He was rewarded for his stellar play with a four-year, $156 million extension last summer. Later, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Watson is “extremely unhappy” with the Texans after they failed to involve him in the process of hiring a new GM after promising he would be involved. Deshaun Watson has not spoken to…

The Kentucky Wildcats gets a much needed victory over the Vanderbilt Commodores, 77-74. It was another close game, much like last Saturday against Mississippi State. Dontaie Allen, while not dropping 23 points like previously, did have another solid game tonight and was able to spread the floor and hit his open threes when they were needed. For BJ Boston, however, it was yet another game where the five-star struggled to get a basket. Boston once again found himself on the bench in crunch time when Kentucky needed a basket, instead going with Dontaie Allen, and rightly so. Olivier Sarr lead Kentucky with 24 points. Davion Mintz hit a go-ahead three with around 45 seconds left to take the permanent lead. After dropping six straight, the Wildcats have started 2-0 in SEC play, winning two close knit games. Nail-biter games might turn out to be a positive for this team later on down the stretch. Here’s how Twitter reacted to Kentucky’s second straight grind-it-out win: The fact that Kentucky was able to win that game despite being out rebounded by 13, having 6 fewer assists, making 5 less threes, and 4 less field goals is incredible.— Jake Adkins (@jakefromky) January 6,…

On Monday, Immanuel Quickley scored a career-high 16 points to help lead the New York Knicks to a 113-108 comeback victory on the road over the Atlanta Hawks.New York trailed by as many as 15 points in the third quarter, but went on a run to cut the deficit to just four points entering the final period. Quickley scored 10 points alone in the fourth quarter as the Knicks outscored the Hawks by nine late to win.Quickley finished by shooting 4-of-7 from the field while he went 2-of-3 from 3-point range and a perfect 7-of-7 from the charity stripe. He got the job done on both ends of the floor and finished a plus-17 while on the court, the best mark of any player in the game.The moment, as he said after the game, wasn’t too big for him.“I got great teammates, we got this win,” Quickley said. “I went to the University of Kentucky, we played in front of 30,000 every night so just to come out here and the get win with my guys, we had to battle back but I think this team is going to do something special. I’m just proud of teammates, proud of…
