Daily Patriotism in the Bronx: Why God Bless America Plays at Every Yankees Game

More than 25 years after 9/11, God Bless America remains a daily Yankees ritual, a holdover from the attacks that the organization has kept even as other MLB teams scaled back. The seventh‑inning moment features military tributes and fans standing, with Yankees officials framing it as a powerful reflection on service and country. Over the years the song has faced controversy and changes—Kate Smith’s version was dropped, fan protests occurred, and some lawsuits arose over fan movement—but the tradition persists at Yankee Stadium, with plans to mark the 25th anniversary with special tributes and a Fire Department singer before the Mets opener.

Speed Lifts, Not Breakthroughs: Are College Football Players Really Getting Faster?

The NFL Scouting Combine data shows more sub-4.4 and sub-4.5 times in 2026, but the gains aren’t a dramatic anomaly. Some positions posted records, yet overall trends are only modestly above the 20-year average, and we’re still waiting to see full results from o-line, kickers, and punters. In short, college players are getting faster, but not in a sweeping, game-changing way—more of a nuanced uptick than a revolution.

Raiders Lead New 2026 NFL Draft Mock as CFB Season Closes

After the 2025 college season ends, a fresh two-round mock for the 2026 NFL Draft projects the Las Vegas Raiders to take Indiana QB Fernando Mendoza No. 1, with a run of defensive and OL picks shaping the top 16 (including Arvell Reese to the Jets, Rueben Bain Jr. to the Cardinals, Caleb Downs to the Titans, Jordyn Tyson to the Giants, and Spencer Fano to the Dolphins) and two Jets first-round selections helping reshape the roster. The piece notes a thinner QB class, suggesting only one QB may hear his name in the first round.

Towering Necks Reshaped Sauropod Gait

Liverpool researchers used 3D models to trace sauropod evolution from tail-heavy, two-legged ancestors to long-necked, front-loaded quadrupeds. The necks grew rapidly and shifted body mass forward, enabling giants like Diplodocus and titanosaurs. Titanosaurs amplified this front-heavy trend, potentially aiding their rise and survival until the end-Cretaceous mass extinction, with multiple body-mass scenarios tested to account for soft-tissue uncertainties.
