6.10.2026 - NFL Streaming Costs, Track Meet Stabbing Verdict, Faith & “Christian” Labels

Send us Fan MailToday we bounced between three conversations that all hit the same nerve: what we expect from institutions—and what happens when reality doesn’t match the expectation. First up was Congress stepping into the mess of modern sports broadcasting, where following the NFL can mean juggling a pile of platforms and potentially spending hundreds (even up to $600+ depending on what you count) just to watch the games you want. We’re still not convinced it’s Congress’s job to referee entertainment pricing, but we can at least understand the frustration—especially when hearings highlight how hard the streaming shift is hitting sports bars and small businesses that need reliability, not spinning wheels and frozen feeds.Then we turned to the Carmelo Anthony trial and conviction in Texas stemming from a fatal stabbing at a high school track meet. The self-defense claim hinged on a shove/hand contact, but the discussion came back to a basic point: the ability to walk away matters, and using lethal force in that situation didn’t meet the bar for justification. We also talked about how quickly the public “race-ifies” cases like this—even when the trial itself didn’t center race—and why the bigger lesson is teaching kids how to de-escalate, not escalate. We wrapped with a grab bag of national weirdness: Trump speaking from the Oval Office (and drifting into very Trump construction-detail mode), the ongoing UFO disclosure pressure campaign and why AI-era distrust makes “bombshells” harder to believe, and a surprisingly heated new round in the “are Latter-day Saints Christians?” argument—where we basically landed on: I’d rather live surrounded by God-fearing people than spend my time drawing purity-line boundaries that nobody can ultimately prove.### Highlights- Why the NFL’s platform fragmentation feels like a paywall maze—and why Congress is suddenly sniffing around it  - The Carmelo Anthony guilty verdict: self-defense claims, walking away, and how the public turned it into a racial flashpoint  - UFO “disclosure” politics in the age of AI: even if they tell us, will anyone trust it?  - The “Mormons aren’t Christian” argument flaring up again—and why that whole fight misses the point  Let’s talk advertising.
