That speech was scripted. He delivered his “real” pregame speech to his guys after the cameras had stopped rolling. The casual fan would never have known he did it. Most of the media would never have known, either. But in a June radio interview, Thompson fessed up. “I had people come in for a pregame speech,” he said, just before openly debating whether he should proceed....

Graham, who is recovering from a breakthrough infection of the virus months after receiving his own vaccination, said getting vaccinated is a small task compared to what other Americans have been tasked with in the past. “No one’s being asked to go off to fight radical Islam or fight a foreign enemy.

The Senator also argued that former President Donald Trump would behave more aggressively against Russia to ensure Putin does not choose to escalate the war in Ukraine.
