Texas lawmaker proposes bill to abolish death penalty in Lone Star State: ‘I think sentiment is changing’
A Texas state lawmaker has introduced legislation to eliminate the death penalty in the state amid a high-profile death row case currently unfolding. “I think I’ve been opposed to the death penalty my whole life as I’ve thought about its use, and should it exist in our society,” Bucy said, according to Fox 7. Texas has executed nearly 600 people since 1982, according to Texas Coalition to Abolish The Death Penalty executive director Kristin Houle Cuellar.

UCLA coach DeShaun Foster tried his hand at some rivalry week smack talk that didn't sit well with some USC fans. After the USC sanctions several other programs were investigated for infractions that in some cases were worse than what USC was accused of. Pro sports lost me when big money teams began monopolizing, causing my beloved Pirates to fall by the wayside. College sports lost me when under the table money and other illegal deals permeated recruiting and now, of course, NIL money is changing the landscape.
