Jake Tapper Finally Notices His Beloved Democrats Are Woke Scolds Who Hate Men and Think Everything Is Racist

Jake Tapper, the CNN host who promoted false Democratic talking points about Joe Biden's mental acuity before writing a best-selling book about the "cover-up," slammed his beloved political party this week for behaving like a bunch of woke scolds who are obsessed with racism and routinely denigrate normal men. Tapper discussed his belated epiphany—many years after the Democratic Party started hating men and denouncing everything as racist—on a podcast with tech baron Scott Galloway, recounting his appearance on a "left-leaning podcast" where one the hosts made a "joke" about how his teenage son might be racist because he wants to be a police officer.

'Duck Dynasty' star Phil Robertson started at QB over Terry Bradshaw in college — but quit to become a duck hunter



Since the passing of Phil Robertson, an outpouring of love — and stories — has surfaced that shows just how truly fascinating the entrepreneur's life was.

For instance, the patriarch of the "Duck Dynasty" family was a college football star with the potential for a pro career. That's right. According to CBS Sports, Robertson started at quarterback for two years at Louisiana Tech University in 1966 and 1967.

'He quit because he knew his passion was duck hunting, and he knew my passion was football.'

But perhaps even more interesting is that Robertson in college actually started over Terry Bradshaw, who would go on to become a legendary, four-time Super Bowl-winning signal caller for the Pittsburgh Steelers.

In fact, Bradshaw told a Fox Sports panel years ago that if it were not for Robertson quitting football with a year of NCAA eligibility left, he never would have gotten the starting role at Louisiana Tech.

"If he hadn't — I hate to say quit, but that's what he did. He quit because he knew his passion was duck hunting, and he knew my passion was football. And he left, and that's how I got the starting job," Bradshaw said. "I did not beat him out."

Bradshaw has told stories over the years about how Robertson would emerge from the woods before practice wearing "Levi jeans and a T-shirt."

"On [those clothes] was either duck feathers, guts from a squirrel, [or] blood from some varmints somewhere," Bradshaw recalled.

Bradshaw and Robertson reunited for an interview in 2013, nearly 50 years after playing together. During the sit-down, Robertson remarked that it was the first time he had seen Bradshaw since he quit football.

"This is my first return trip to Louisiana Tech," Robertson said. "Literally, since I saw you in the locker room saying, 'Go be an NFL star; I'm going out to the ducks.'"

The captivating discussion had Bradshaw asking the outdoorsman why he decided to leave a sport he was so good at. Despite Robertson totaling 12 touchdowns and 34 interceptions in college, he also threw for 2,237 yards and had the potential to go pro, according to CBS Sports.

"Why did you leave? Why did you not come back?" Bradshaw asked.

"You had something that I did not have," Robertson explained. "You had the desire to excel in the game of football. And I really had the passion for the old mallard ducks."

After again recalling Robertson being covered in duck feathers and squirrel guts, Bradshaw laughed at how the future "Duck Dynasty" star's departure benefited both men.

Robertson then concluded, "[This] proves the point, Bradshaw. A man will do a lot for a duck. Ducks are doing great."

During the Fox Sports panel discussion, former NFL head coach Jimmy Johnson — also a Super Bowl winner at the helm of the Dallas Cowboys — recalled that he had the benefit of coaching at Louisiana Tech when both quarterbacks were there. Johnson noted how talented and impressive both players were, joining Bradshaw in his admiration for Robertson.

Bradshaw added regarding Robertson: "He's such a sweet guy, such a really sweet guy. We had so much fun laughing and talking about old times."

Tom Brady could be coming out of retirement, and Trump may be the reason: Report



Tom Brady reportedly may be set to come out of retirement, but it won't be until 2028, when he is 50 years old.

Brady retired from the NFL in 2022 and has since become a broadcaster as well as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. According to insider reports detailed by the Daily Mail, his playing days may not be over. Brady may be set to couple his stint in the broadcast booth with a return to the field, via a plan mapped out well in advance.

'Nobody should ever tell Tom he can't do something, and what a story this would be.'

Brady reportedly wants to make a run at Olympic gold when the Summer Games come to Los Angeles in 2028, and he would do it as quarterback of the Team USA flag football team.

NFL owners recently voted to allow their players to play in the flag football event, which came with the condition that the Olympic rosters are only allowed to have one NFL player from each team. Conceivably, while Canadian or Samoan players could fill up other squads, Team USA's 10-man roster could consist of only NFL stars.

However, Brady would not count as one of those active NFL stars.

"He wants a gold medal. And what better way to remain the GOAT [greatest of all time] and return to the sport he loves, by helping his country win gold," an insider told the Daily Mail.

"He knows he would be able to help and excel in that environment, and since his life is very much scheduled and has a tight regimen, so many things could fall into place for him around that time," the source added.

Of course, Brady would have President Donald Trump to thank for the Olympics taking place so close to home in Los Angeles.

Trump has long been credited with, and taken credit for, fighting during his first term in 2017 for the games to take place in L.A. The president famously battled with France for the hosting gig and posted on Twitter in July 2017 that he was hard at work securing the bid. According to Newsweek at the time, France was the front-runner to host, but Trump made it a national priority to win over the International Olympic Committee.

The short trip and advance notice would allegedly be big factors in Brady's decision to compete, as the quarterback is a San Mateo, California, native.

"With the Olympics being in L.A., he wouldn't have to travel far. And it would culminate in one of the best birthdays ever," the same inside source told the Daily Mail.

Not only would Brady's 51st birthday come shortly after the closing ceremony of the Olympics on July 30, 2028, but he would also be eligible for the Pro Football Hall of Fame at this time. This would make for a remarkable summer for the seven-time Super Bowl champion.

"Tom Brady is the greatest competitor in the history of American sports. His hard work, determination, and achievements are unparalleled," Plymouth County Commissioner Jared L. Valanzola (R) told Blaze News.

The Massachusetts politician said he had "no doubt" that Brady could lead the USA flag team to gold.

"There is nothing I'm more excited about than the prospect of watching Tom Brady compete in the Olympics," Valanzola added. "I love Tom Brady."

Not all of those involved were necessarily excited, though. Darrell Doucette, Team USA's current quarterback, told the Guardian that NFL players should have to try out for the flag teams.

Kansas City Chiefs star Patrick Mahomes and Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow have both expressed interest in playing in the Olympics as well.

Aaron Rodgers drops truth bomb with Joe Rogan: Trans dominance only hits women’s sports



NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers said most people are encouraged not to care about men invading women's sports and are told to not do their own research on the subject.

Rodgers made his comments on a recent episode of "The Joe Rogan Experience" while he and Rogan discussed the physical advantages men have over women in sports.

'You're not seeing trans men dominating anything; it's because there's a biological difference.'

After Rogan said hundreds of biological men have "pretended to be women" and subsequently dominated women's athletics due to possessing a "giant advantage," Rodgers flatly stated he believes the pro-transgender movement is explicitly against women.

"The trans woman movement is actually anti-woman," the four-time NFL MVP stated.

Rogan, who now has about 20 million YouTube subscribers to his podcast, added that women should be "protected" in sports and should only have to compete against other biological women.

"It's not bigoted to say," the comedian explained.

Rodgers then pointed to the simple reason that transgender ideology has resulted in the destruction of women's athletics, not men's.

"You're not seeing trans men dominating anything; it's because there's a biological difference," he said.

Mocking the absurdity of the whole debate, Rogan simply uttered, "XX and XY," referring to female and male chromosomes.

"Way too much common sense," Rodgers sarcastically replied.

The Super Bowl winner explained that he did not have much respect for the transgender movement and used most activists' inability to define a woman as evidence of their folly: "The people who you're asking those questions, who are not able to answer whether or not there's a decided advantage, can't even define what a woman is."

Rodgers added that the people in general are pushed "not to care" about the issue and are told, "Don't do your own research ... trust the experts."

Content warning: Language

Despite a lengthy history of speaking out against COVID vaccines, this seemingly was the first time Rodgers had publicly commented about men in women's sports.

"I'm glad he is finally speaking out, but let’s not pretend this is some bold or risky move in 2025," Kaitlynn Wheeler, former NCAA swimmer and women's activist, told Blaze News. "Women have been sounding the alarm on this issue for over three years, and we were called hateful, bigoted, transphobic, and silenced for it. I welcome more voices speaking the truth, but the latecomers shouldn’t expect an applause."

During their conversation, Rogan also cited a United Nations study claiming that over 600 female athletes had lost medals to male competitors in female sports. Over 900 medals across different women's competitions had been lost to men, in total, the study said.

LA Chargers rep shuts down CNN after outlet asks if animated promos are going 'too far': It's okay to 'make a joke'



The Los Angeles Chargers' director of social media defended the team's right to make humorous content after other teams removed posts that were determined to be "insensitive."

The controversy started when the Indianapolis Colts took part in what now seems like a tradition for NFL teams to release lighthearted videos to announce their upcoming schedules. The Colts apparently went too far, however, when they turned Miami Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill into a cartoon dolphin and mocked his 2024 run-in with Miami-Dade Police.

'Luckily we work at a place that values social [media] and the ability to make a joke.'

The perceived backlash — which apparently no one could pinpoint — was enough that the Colts took down their video and issued an apology.

"We removed our schedule release video because it exceeded our rights with Microsoft and included an insensitive clip involving Dolphins wide receiver Tyreek Hill. We sincerely apologize to Microsoft and Tyreek," the team said in a statement.

The retraction included an apology to Microsoft due to the Colts' video animation style mimicking Microsoft's game Minecraft.

In fact, the video seemed strikingly similar to that of the Chargers, who actually acquired permission from Microsoft to use their intellectual property in their schedule release video.

Given the similarity and the subsequent apology, CNN asked the head of the Chargers' social media about the content of their video and the reaction the Colts had received, wondering, "How far is too far?"

Dolphins reporter Joe Schad said the Chargers' social media head defended making a joke and putting out witty content.

"Luckily we work at a place that values social [media] and the ability to make a joke," said Megan Julian, director of digital and social media for the Chargers.

"Not everything has to be serious all the time," she added.

— (@)

It did not take long for fans to react positively to the refreshing take from Julian, which was seemingly the inverse of how the Colts organization handled the situation.

"We desperately need that mind set for the social media team with the Dolphins," one fan replied.

"Make America joke again!" another fan chimed in.

A photojournalist for a Fox outlet added, "A lot of NFL organizations could learn from this."

"If you're going to go for the joke, and take a page from the Chargers' social media, just go for it," sports reporter Alejandro Avila told Blaze News.

He added, "I have no idea why the Colts would take that down," as it did not seem to offend anyone.

Not even Hill, the apparent victim in the ordeal, took offense to the video.

"He laughed about it and didn't think they needed to take it down on his account," Hill's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, stated.

The agent noted that his client was also willing to accept the Colts organization's apology, even though it was not necessary.

Could Ohio legislator's new bill give college football fans more tailgate time?



An Ohio state legislator has reportedly drafted a bill that would make it illegal for colleges to host football games before 3:30 p.m., except for special circumstances.

Republican state Rep. Tex Fischer is looking to ban the earlier kickoffs particularly because Ohio State is frequently booked on Fox's "Big Noon Saturday."

'I said it would be a crime for FOX to put Ohio State vs Texas at noon. Promises made, promises kept!'

The bill, shared by Fischer through an account called the Rooster, explained that "no college football game" in Ohio would start before 3:30 p.m. unless one team is from a state university and both teams are ranked in the top 10 of the Associated Press poll.

If a game does start earlier than the prescribed time without the stated provisions, a $10 million fine from Ohio's attorney general would be handed down to either the host team's football conference or the television network, "whichever party scheduled the earlier start time."

According to USA Today, the earlier games are generally an annoyance to traveling fans and regular attendees who are forced to get up earlier and have their tailgating time cut into.

Blaze News asked Fischer if he thought the earlier start times cut into tax revenue surrounding merchandise or liquor sales and if the tailgating time was a hot-button issue for him. Fischer's office did not immediately reply to Blaze News' request for comment.

The Buckeyes have played 35 games in the noon time slot since 2019, when Fox began broadcasting the Big Ten conference games. The conference typically has allowed Fox to schedule more high-profile games in the earlier time slot without having to compete with the popular 3:30 slot dominated by CBS and ESPN.

Now that Ohio State is the defending national champion, the bill hopes to change the likelihood of more early games, especially considering their schedule included seven in the past season.

Fischer boasted about the bill's text in his accompanying post: "A few weeks ago, I said it would be a crime for FOX to put Ohio State vs Texas at noon. Promises made, promises kept!"

Another caveat was carved out for rivalry games, which includes Ohio State vs. Michigan, which has a traditional start time of noon.

"Division (B) of this section does not apply if an earlier start time of a college football game between two teams is a college football tradition," the proposed legislation read.

"For this purpose, a 'college football tradition' is a start time of a game between the teams of two institutions whose football teams have competed against each other at least fifty times and the start time has been the same for at least ninety-five per cent of those games."

ANALYSIS: Jordon Hudson Outshined and Outclassed by Historic Transgender Contestant at So-Called Beauty Pageant

Jordon Hudson, the widely despised girlfriend of cheating NFL coach Bill Belichick, placed a humiliating third over the weekend at a so-called beauty pageant in Maine, one of America's least attractive states. Belichick, 73, looked on as Hudson, 24, failed to take home the top prize at the Miss Maine USA competition. The winner, Shelby Ann Howell, will represent the state at the Miss USA pageant later this year. Howell and second-place contestant, Eva Benjamin, are significantly classier and more attractive than Hudson, according to a Washington Free Beacon analysis.

Trump reportedly considering NCAA payment limits through executive order following meeting with coach Nick Saban



The president has told his team to start looking into writing an executive order to limit the amount of money in college sports, a new report has claimed.

President Donald Trump met with legendary college football coach Nick Saban last Thursday when the president was in Tuscaloosa, Alabama, to give a commencement speech at the University of Alabama.

According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Saban spoke to the president about "NIL" deals and told him he thought the influx of money into college sports has been damaging.

Trump reportedly agreed with Saban and said he would have his aides begin to study what a potential executive order could look like.

Furthermore, Saban's suggestions allegedly did not include ending NIL payments, but "reforming" them, according to a person who was said to have direct knowledge of the meeting. Saban reportedly suggested the NIL payments were causing an uneven playing field and have resulted in an arms race among the bigger schools.

This echoed Saban's comments from January, when he claimed on a radio show that the NIL "model is unsustainable."

'There's some parity. Now that everybody can pay their players.'

It should be noted that Saban has been widely criticized for hoarding talent when he coached in Alabama and that name, image, and likeness rules have since leveled the playing field so that players at other schools can still receive compensation.

Even comedian Shane Gillis, a staunch Notre Dame supporter, said in January that Saban was sensitive to criticisms that he is upset that other schools can now pay their players.

"This feels different. Feels like we can win it. You know? There's some parity. Now that everybody can pay their players, Notre Dame has a shot. It's not just the SEC. It's not Coach Saban," Gillis said at the time.

The comedian revealed weeks later that Saban did not care for the comments when they both appeared on an episode of "ESPN's College GameDay."

Gillis said Saban exploded when he approached him, saying, "You think the SEC dominated because we cheated?! That's bulls**t!"

"He spazzed on me," Gillis laughed.

The NCAA declined to comment to the Wall Street Journal regarding a potential executive order. However, the outlet cited NCAA spokesman Tim Buckley, who said the governing body was confronting some of the challenges facing college sports.

The vast majority of the NCAA's money does not come from college football, though. As Blaze News reported, over 85% of the NCAA's revenue comes from college basketball's March Madness tournament. However, college football has some of the country's biggest young stars, who now generate impressive revenue streams for themselves through endorsements.
