Three-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman David Bakhtiari declared Monday night that Tom Brady "killed PC culture" with the Netflix roast that aired over the weekend. Even New England Patriots team owner Robert Kraft was picked on early in the night by roast master Jeff Ross. I can confidently say @TomBrady has killed PC culture," the former Green Bay Packers offensive tackle wrote on X. Former NFL star linebacker Shawne Merriman told Fox News Digital that it was one of the best he had ever seen. Brady has yet to talk about it, but it was clear that his special was a massive hit.

New York City’s congestion pricing program is scheduled to begin charging tolls to drive into the busiest parts of Manhattan next month, with the aim of generating a $15 billion windfall for the mass transit system. That money would not translate into lower fares or a huge subway expansion. Well, subject to "eleventh hour efforts" to block the initiative, Congestion Pricing is set to take effect June 30. Very succinctly, it will cost $15 per day to drive a private auto South of 60th Street on Manhattan. The revenue raised will be allocated to the MTA and will go for capital projects (buy new cars), as distinct from operating expenses (paying the operator to run them).
