INDIANAPOLIS -- Years before leading his team to its first men's basketball national championship by pummeling Gonzaga 86-70 on Monday night at Lucas Oil Stadium, coach Scott Drew led a tour of his team's relatively new practice facility. To unlock the doors, he put his hand on a fancy scanner. Inside, there were large TVs above each player's stall, which also featured video-game systems. There was a massive theater screen for film sessions and cold tubs for postgame recovery. "Don't say too much about that," Drew said about the amenities. "I don't really want too many people to know."

I am a Texan. In the good old days, I would be celebrating after watching a Texas team kick butt on anyone else for a national championship. But after watching "wokeness" destroy college sports the last couple of years, I sure didn't watch this game (or any game the last couple of years), and my give-a-damn meter just isn't budging. Lie-beralism destroys everything it touches!!!

I don't have a dog in this fight, but i watched the game to see if Gonzaga could complete a dream season. Frankly,, Baylor wanted it more. They played with purpose and a goal clearly in mind and didn't take their foot off the gas all night long. Congrats to the Baylor Bears for winning an excellently played game!!

Baylor dominated that game for sure, and that takes nothing away from a Gonzaga team that demonstrated outstanding performance getting there.

Congrats to Baylor. I didn't watch the game. It was on too late (eastern time zone) I don't know why NCAA "big games" need to be played on a Monday night. Fix the schedule and play these games including the Super Bowl on a Saturday evening. But then again, they've ruined sports with politics, social crap. Sports is no longer a place to get away from it all...

Wasn't too exciting a game, so much so that I dozed through most of the second half.

I agree with #4. How about having the finals on Sunday afternoons instead of at night. We're retired, so we watched the whole game on Saturday, and it was a Barn Burner! Last night we watched the first Half, but that is about as late as this almost 80 year old can stay awake! Congrats to the Winners! I could have done without the "Woke" Writings painted on the sideline floor in four places, but i guess that's to be expected now! The singing of the National Anthem was Beautiful and I was pleased to see the Players standing for it!

I am not a Gonzaga fan. They came out of nowhere years ago and have been shamelessly promoted by ESPN and the other sports media. I'm tired of it. And I think it's just because of the funny name. Way to be, Bears!!

I’m a Bulldog fan but congratulations to Baylor. The Zags played in a daze in the national championship game about eight years ago also. It’s become a trademark I guess, which is why I call Coach Mark Few the Marty Schottenheimer of the NCAA. Close year after year, but no cigar.

Gonzaga was desperately in need of more quality three-point shooters, and offensive rebounding. Their free throw shooting was also weak.

Re: #11 - Good on you for your graciousness and sportsmanship. As a Bear fan, I'd hate to have to play y'all in a best of 7 or twice a year in conference. Coach Mark Few and Coach Scott Drew both appear to be genuinely good men, who care about their player's moral and spiritual development, which is increasingly rare in big time sports.

Nearly 80 percent of school staff members and child care workers have received at least a single dose of a Covid-19 vaccine, bolstering President Joe Biden's efforts to reopen schools shuttered by the pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported Tuesday that about 8 million teachers, school staff members and other child care workers had gotten their first doses by the end of March. A federal push to give such workers priority access to vaccines "paid off and paved the way" for a return to in-person education, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky said in a news release.

WASHINGTON — Justice Stephen Breyer on Tuesday said liberal advocates of big changes at the Supreme Court, including expanding the number of justices, should think “long and hard” about what they’re proposing. Politically driven change could diminish the trust Americans place in the court, Breyer said in the prepared text of a long speech he gave remotely Tuesday to Harvard Law School students, faculty and alumni. His talk, Breyer said, “seeks to make those whose initial instincts may favor important structural (or other similar institutional) changes, such as forms of ‘court-packing,’ think long and hard before embodying those changes in law.”

Left-wing Hollywood stars Debra Messing and Piper Perabo are threatening a boycott of Southwest Airlines over the carrier’s refusal to condemn Texas’ election integrity bill, which the state’s senate passed last week. Their boycott is the latest intimidation campaign waged by elite leftists against corporations in an attempt to sway election policy in favor of Democrats. On Monday, Covert Affairs actress Piper Perabo voiced her intention to boycott the Dallas-based Southwest. She echoed former Democratic presidential candidate Howard Dean by using the now-ubiquitous term “voter suppression” to describe the bill. “I spend my money companies who support voting rights,” the actress tweeted.

Biden spokesperson Jen Psaki has repeatedly told reporters that there is no crisis at the border. There is no surge at the border, people are merely “presenting” at the border. They aren’t keeping kids in cages at the border, they are keeping them in “soft-sided structures” that they can’t leave. While the people currently running this country have become the living embodiment of a CNN “mostly peaceful protests” meme, the crisis has continued to grow exponentially with no end in site.

After the Austin city council voted unanimously to defund its police department by about one-third of its budget, in August 2020, many predicted that once the cuts kicked in a flood of officers would leave the force as soon as they could. The new district attorney’s policy of re-investigating police officers for closed cases is also expected to cause officers to resign or retire. The city council’s cuts officially kicked in and have been in place for a few months.

The Colorado Rockies will host the 2021 MLB All-Star Game after the decision to move the event from Atlanta over Georgia’s restrictive voting law, according to multiple reports. ESPN and Altitude TV reported the game was going to be moved to Coors Field in Denver on July 13. Neither the Rockies nor MLB immediately responded to Fox News’ request for comment.

When President Donald Trump blocked users on Twitter, some of them sued, claiming the president had violated their First Amendment rights to speak in a public forum. On Monday, the Supreme Court dismissed that lawsuit as moot. While the Court did not issue an opinion on the case, it stands to reason that Biden v. Knight First Amendment Institute (2021) would be moot because Trump is no longer in office and because Twitter has suspended Trump’s account. Justice Clarence Thomas wrote an important concurring opinion warning that the true threat to free speech did not involve Trump but Twitter. In 2019, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals held that the comment threads

The Texas Rangers baseball team had asked Texas Gov. Greg Abbott to throw out the first pitch at their home opener. Major League Baseball then took a stand against sensible voting reforms in Georgia, reforms that include extending early voting days making it easier to Georgians to cast votes. After Joe Biden shamelessly and repeatedly lied about that law, MLB moved the All-Star game from Atlanta. MLB’s leadership evidently did not read the law before launching an economic war against the state of Georgia. Texas is considering similar reforms, and American Airlines is among corporate America’s partisans taking shots at the law without bothering to read it first.

Harris' desk, which sits in her office in the West Wing of the White House, was put together using wood, copper and nails taken from the USS Constitution, which was commissioned under George Washington in 1794. The USS Constitution is one of the country's first frigates and is the oldest commissioned warship still afloat. It was launched in 1797 in Boston, Massachusetts, and now sits in Baltimore Harbor. Harris' desk has carvings of an eagle surrounded by stars from the Constitution's stern decorations.

President Joe Biden will take new executive action Thursday aimed at reducing gun violence in the United States. Politico first reported Wednesday that the new measure — one of several “common sense” gun reforms Biden has promised to take — will require people purchasing “ghost guns,” homemade firearms without serial numbers, to undergo a federal background check. It remains unclear how many specific actions Biden is expected to take on guns, but reporting indicates the president will also seek to close the “Charleston Loophole,” which allows licensed dealers to transfer firearms to buyers before a background check is completed.

I have a friend who is fearful of commercial airlines. At the gate, before boarding, he asks the agent the following question: "What is the captain's name?" If the answer indicates the pilot is female, he will not board that flight. Any criticism of my friend's lack of confidence in any qualified aviatrix is answered along these lines: "She can't drive a stick shift. I should trust her with a Jumbo Jet?" My friend is right to be cautious about flying, but for different reasons. Like most air travelers, he doesn't know what he doesn't know.

That doesn’t mean we won’t regain most of the freedoms we lost over the past year. It just means we’ll have to be extra careful far longer than we’d like.
