College football recruiting is a 24/7, 365-day endeavor, but during the offseason, the discussion gets turned up another notch entirely.Some of you more casual college football fans may be thinking May is too early to be grabbing the scalpel and dissecting a recruiting class full of verbal pledges who won’t even sign their papers until December at the earliest, but you could not be more wrong. More often than not, how you are recruiting post-spring practice is usually a pretty solid indicator of how your class will finish in the winter.Be forewarned, though. It takes more than just glancing at…

Xavier Becerra was forced to fend off a barrage of attacks from rivals in the race for California governor after a pair of his former employees pleaded guilty in a campaign finance scandal the same day as the debate.After two of Becerra’s staffers pleaded guilty on Thursday to siphoning money from an inactive campaign account to supplement their salaries, questions emerged over whether the former Health and Human Services secretary knew about, or assisted in, the act — a clear breach of federal restrictions on using campaign funds for personal ends.The guilty…

Thursday was a huge day for social media nerds and wannabe influencers masquerading as football fans.You see, Thursday was a little national holiday called NFL Schedule Release Day, a time when 32 social media teams ride the wave of trends experiencing their 15 minutes of fame under the guise of informing their fans what the upcoming season looks like.I wrote not too long ago about the abomination that was the Kansas City Chiefs’ sourdough schedule release soft launch, which they “rectified” by doing a QVC-themed schedule release…

The U.S. Navy’s fourth Gerald R. Ford-class aircraft carrier will be delivered two years late because of limited construction space at the shipyard where it’s being built, according to the Navy.The service’s fiscal 2027 shipbuilding budget estimate, which was released in April, shows that USS Doris Miller’s arrival was bumped from February 2032 to February 2034 due to “constraints” at Huntington Ingalls Industries Newport News Shipbuilding shipyard in Virginia. That delay, however, is a result of issues with the construction of the third Ford-class carrier, the CVN-80, or USS Enterprise.“The primary schedule driver for CVN-81 is the lack of available…

Bullets with a fast velocity or a high BC are good, but those with both are even better.Since the introduction of the 6.5 Creedmoor, shooters and hunters have become infatuated with bullets that have a high ballistic coefficient (BC). This is understandable because, given the same velocity, the bullet with a higher BC will fly flatter and resist the wind better. Of course, for you to shoot a bullet with an extremely high BC you must have a rifling twist rate capable of stabilizing that bullet at the muzzle velocity you’ll be launching it at. This creates somewhat of a…
