Defending football’s most controversial play, Christopher Jacobs in The Federalist argues the NFL should reject calls to ban the “tush-push” on safety grounds. The play, in which running backs shove their quarterback from behind to gain a crucial yard or two, “resulted in exactly zero injuries last season.” As Jacobs points out, the more likely reason for the proposed ban is simple envy, as the Super Bowl champion Philadelphia Eagles are masters of the move.

A Man Who’d Do Anything to Evade the Truth
Spiked’s Matt Ridley details Anthony Fauci’s “public-sector version of insider trading.” Subpoenaed by the U.S. Senate to “discuss” the origin of Covid-19, the longest-serving and highest-paid U.S. bureaucrat instead invoked the Fifth Amendment (protecting against self-incrimination) some 111 times. Strange; he’d been pardoned by President Joe Biden. Nevertheless, it’s clear Fauci lied to the American people about nearly everything – starting with Covid’s true origins in the Wuhan lab. Further, his bizarre diary (saved to a government computer) details his “nauseating narcissism and gobsmacking greed,” says Ridley, and shows he cared more about his own fame than about ailing Americans.
