So, look, I got a lot to talk to you about, a whole lot to talk to you guys about over the weekend, and a whole lot about our process here, because we had come up with the plan, Nikki and Andy and Peter, and then I go, you know what? I just wrote this thing on Substack, and I think that maybe should be our lead in how we talk about these stories. Andy, put up the Substack thing a little bit just so they can see it, and then we're going to talk about why.
Okay, so we're just going to talk about Trump. We had Trump. We're like, oh, my God, I do so much Trump. I'm sick of it. Are you sick of Trump? I am.
Okay.
We're going to talk about the immigration thing and just scroll through it a little bit, Andy, the immigration thing and what's happening. And we will talk about those stories. But this story kept popping up on my algorithm all weekend. Now, let me know if I'm the only one. But this story, Shador Sanders, and oh my God, he should have been a first round draft pick. He should have been a second round draft pick. How did he fall to five? Some people were like, is this buck breaking? Is this humbling? I'm just telling you what people were saying. And everybody who's weighing in from Stephen A to Stephen B to Stephen Z, everyone is weighing in on this story. Everyone has like an idea or, right? As long as we're not talking about Shannon Sharp, someone says, and I did, I wrote something about Shannon Sharp as well that I did not put out because folks were saying, ooh, Don, it's a little controversial.
Don't, I'll tell you about it. Maybe I'll put it out. But were you guys, did you guys talk about this? Did you guys not care about the Shador Sanders story? Did you care more about immigration? You can care equally. It's a different thing. I feel that this is in line with what the morning hot topics is about. And again, we will talk about the news. We will talk about the news, meaning what's happening with Donald Trump and the immigration, by the way, at nine o'clock, they held this like unusual 9 a.m. press briefing in the briefing room with Caroline Leavitt or whatever. And it's because Losing support. Donald Trump is tanking. I've been telling you. I've been telling you guys this, okay? And so we're going to discuss because they are flailing.
They're nervous. He's changing. He's backpedaling. He's doing all of those things. But I'm going to tell it through this story of Deion Sanders, his son Shador Sanders, the Manning brothers, their dad, Archie Manning. Like, what is the difference here? OK, what is the difference? So, Sarah, you're on to something. You got to read what I'm saying. You guys are good with this. So then along with this story, there was an outrageous prank that has an NFL coach and his son apologizing. to Shador Sanders, his family, and the world, and all football players, and the league. Is his dad going to face some sort of disciplinary action for this? I mean, this is a whole mess. So let me know if you're interested in this story.
