Nick Bosa breaks extended Twitter silence to express agreement with Ryan Clark's ouster
The story of the week came from ESPN, where a supposed exercise in removing red ink became, for NFL analyst Ryan Clark, more like a Red Wedding. hiddenlangkawi.club
49ers defensive end Nick Bosa has chosen to chime in.
In his first actual tweet since November 2022 (he's had a handful of retweets since then without comment), Bosa reposted the original article from The Athletic about Clark's ouster with an “OK” emoji.
It's an odd postscript to the (relatively speaking) old news. And while those in the media accept that the public nature of the job will include a public reaction to the job ending, Bosa's tweet is another example of the notion that someone's firing is something to be celebrated on social media.
Of course, it happens to players. And while it's usually fans and not media members who pop a cork publicly when the player is cut from his team, it's easy to blur the lines. Especially if the media member in question has a reputation for the kind of candor that will ruffle feathers.
There are two general ways to handle these jobs. One, kiss everyone's ass and say everything is great. Two, consistently share honestly-held opinions and beliefs, even if those opinions and beliefs may at times piss people off.
The consumers have to ask themselves what they want. If it's incessant, superficial cheerleading, plenty of outlets, shows, and personalities will provide it. There are multiple sports utopias where the approach is to constantly glorify everything (including gambling) and never to directly criticize anyone or anything. There are also platforms where those who spend the bulk of their time focusing on one specific sport share the views they've developed without pulling punches or pretending to believe something they don't.
It's not as if Clark took a sudden turn in the way he did the job. He's always been exactly who he is. And that was fine and dandy for ESPN, for more than a decade. Clark didn't change; ESPN's attitude toward him did. And now that ESPN has decided to move on (with the bush-league move of pulling the plug while he was on the air), many are doing a victory lap.
It just feels different when a big-name player with no habit of expressing his views on Twitter chooses to fuel the ticker-tape parade. It feels personal. (It may be political.) And while Bosa has every right to do it, it's worth pointing out that he did — and wondering why he chose to do it.
All 45 Major League Soccer players at the 2026 World Cup, ranked
From Lionel Messi’s final flourish to players who barely featured, we rank every MLS representative who appeared in the 2026 World Cup
Messi was always going to be No 1. In what was likely his last World Cup, the Argentinian put together an incredible tournament, registering eight goals, four assists and the most progressive passes of any player, according to Futi. With zero defensive responsibility on his shoulders, Messi was free to do as he liked. The 39-year-old roamed the field with ease and effortlessly drew Argentina back from the brink time and time again. It was Messi who led his country to a 3-2 win against Cape Verde, Messi who assisted and then equalized against Egypt, and Messi who created both of Argentina’s late goals against England. In the final, however, Messi disappeared. Across 139 minutes including stoppage time, Messi completed just 28 of 39 passes, registered only one shot and hardly affected the game. He may have left the tournament with no personal or team accolades – a rarity for him – but Messi extended a World Cup legacy that few players have ever to come close to rivaling.
Continue reading...What's next for Diego Pavia?
After failing to win a chance at training camp to secure a spot as one of Lamar Jackson's backups, former Ravens quarterback Diego Pavia has entered the NFL's waiver system.
If unclaimed, what's next?
He could choose to wait for another NFL opportunity. Injuries could open a door for Pavia to participate in a training camp as an extra arm, which would in turn give him an opportunity to earn a 53-man roster spot or a position on a practice squad.
If there's no NFL interest, Pavia could go to the CFL. The Winnipeg Blue Bombers hold his negotiating rights, and they've made it clear that they are interested.
The UFL apparently has interest, too — if the social-media team has its finger on the pulse of the league's priorities. The league retweeted the announcement of Pavia's waiver by the Ravens with the eyes emoji.
Then there's college football. While he doesn't fit within the NCAA’s new eligibility rule (he turned 20 the year before his four-year college career began), Pavia could try to sue for another season. He played two years of junior-college football before commencing a four-season NCAA career in four years.
With every NCAA rule currently subject to an antitrust challenge, Pavia could give it a shot. Of course, the fact that he signed a contract with the Ravens would make it harder. But he didn't get a signing bonus or a game check; at most, he received the standard per diem for his offseason work.
It doesn't hurt to try, and it wouldn't be ridiculously expensive (in theory) to hire a lawyer to file the paperwork and roll the dice.
Surely, someone would be interested. Pavia finished second in the 2025 Heisman Trophy voting. It's a path to getting more game experience — and to getting paid more than he'd receive in the CFL or the UFL.
