Ian Rapoport@rapsheet.bsky.social · 4mo ago🚨 🚨 🚨 Bombshell: The Browns are finalizing a trade of Defensive Player of the Year Myles Garrett to the Rams in a shocker, sources tell me, @tompelissero.bsky.social & Adam Schefter. Cleveland would send Garrett to LA in exchange for star edge Jared Verse, a first-rounder, and more.

"“Hungary, when it comes to Russia, is a frog being slowly boiled alive.” I hope the people of my family's homeland chasten Orbán and his ilk.
Moscow’s man on the inside. Viktor Orbán is facing his biggest electoral challenge in years. Russia is doing everything it can to ensure his victory. — Novaya Gazeta Europe
On April 12, Hungarians will go to the polls to decide the fate of one of the E.U.'s most Russia-friendly leaders. The vote comes amid a wave of bombshell reports detailing secret communications between Russian and Hungarian officials, leaving little doubt that Budapest's efforts to impede E.U. sanctions in recent years were made at Moscow's direct behest. The Kremlin has a lot to lose if the prime minister is voted out, and according to Hungarian media, it’s going to great lengths to secure his victory. But Orbán wasn't always the Putin-praising right-wing populist he is today; in fact, he began his career as just the opposite. Novaya Gazeta Europe traces Orbán’s transformation and details the Kremlin's bid to keep him in power.

THIS: "One of the injustices of life is that sometimes when a person is fired from their job, it’s assumed that it’s their fault. "It couldn’t be that the employer or manager mishandled the situation, that they misjudged an employee, or that they were unfair or incompetent."
UNC leaders should have stood by Hubert Davis. Instead, they quit on him. | Opinion
Our Take: There are several reasons Davis deserved more grace and respect than he got from UNC leadership.

It's really weird to demand accountability from a NYC mayoral candidate for a deadly NYC shooting rather than the current NYC mayor, an ex-cop who campaigned on a "tough on crime" platform and promptly got indicted for crimes
