At the beginning of The Sting, veteran con-man Henry Gondorff explains the way of the big con to ambitious rookie Johnny Hooker, who wants to play for a vicious mobbed up New York banker. It's not like playing winos in the street. You can't outrun [the guy]. . . . You gotta keep his con even after you take his money.

David Yelland, former deputy editor at the New York Post, slammed his old newspaper as a disgrace for its Friday front page branding the Minnesota woman killed by an ICE agent as a Warrior' of the Left. The cover splash, which shows a large image of Renee Nicole Good, reports that the victim was an activist member of ICE Watch and trained to resist' agents.

Arsenal forward Gabriel Martinelli has been heavily criticised for pushing Liverpool's Conor Bradley off the pitch while he was badly injured. The Reds right-back ended up having to be stretchered off at the Emirates Stadium, but it seems that Martinelli initially shoved him as he thought he was time-wasting towards the end of the game. Martinelli is now being criticised by journalists on X for his shocking behaviour towards Bradley, whose injury proved to look pretty serious.

CBS Evening News anchor Tony Dokoupil took heavy criticism over his 16-second report on President Donald Trump's rollout of an unhinged January 6 propaganda website that presented the issue as a matter of dueling accusations. The Trump administration chose Tuesday the 5th anniversary of the January 6 attack on the Capitol to unveil the site. It sparked immediate and widespread outrage over the stunning falsehoods, omissions, and concoctions.

It's disappointing (but unsurprising) that Fallon didn't push back on that,

Look, we're taking out drug boats, right? They've done I think they've killed 87 people doing this, Lambert said. Obama did hundreds, if not thousands of bomb attacks all around the world in different countries on land, killing civilians at the at the time. Now, again, he was going after terrorists, which is what we're doing there. It's Tren de Aragua is who we're going after.

The attack on coverage and commentary on unnamed networks by the MS NOW host comes amid continued fallout after the president raged a video made by six Democratic lawmakers urging military and intelligence service members to refuse illegal orders was SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH. Since the outburst, some conservative pundits and hosts have defended Trump's response. On Fox News, Hugh Hewitt dismissed the outburst as classic Donald Trump, while another network contributor, Trey Gowdy, called the Democrats' video dumb and downplayed the president's outburst.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) shot down rumors that she is resigning from Congress to clear the way for a 2028 presidential run. In a lengthy post on X Sunday, Greene said that she had never ever considered a presidential run. I'm not running for President and never said I wanted to and have only laughed about it when anyone would mention it, she wrote.

You know what they say. Never judge a pitch until both teams have batted really badly on it. You know what they say. Over here you bat long, bat hard, bat short, bat soft. You know what they say, the Ashes in Australia is all about a hybrid maverick production with a fan-first identity. Given the brilliance of the basic entertainment on day one in Perth,

If it's convenient for him to be a fascist, he'll be a fascist. Maybe later on, he'll go back to being a Silicon Valley Democrat. He'll be whatever he needs to be, Buttigieg said.

The most serious thing yesterday was Cristiano Ronaldo doing his own thing. What the captain of Portugal did was unfortunate. And I don't just mean aggression, because losing your head in a moment of frustration can, although it shouldn't, happen. Ronaldo is 40 years old. At Wednesday's press conference, he made a point of provoking opponents, the Irish coach and the public. He was the one who created the climate that he couldn't handle.
