Herring wasn’t supposed to win the fight and upset Ito, but he did it by unanimous decision (118-110, 118-110, 116-112). The U.S. Marine Corps veteran also won the fight during Memorial Day weekend in front of many active and reserve U.S. Marines as part of a sold-out crowd at the Osceola Heritage Park in Kissimmee, Fla. But what made this victory truly special was the fact that Herring won the world title on the same day that his late daughter would have turned 10 years old....

Trump’s “coup in search of a legal theory,” as Chairman Bennie Thompson called it on Thursday night’s session of the January 6 Committee hearings, is unique in its scope, but not in its assault on American democracy. There has been a trajectory of modern mob formation over the course of the Trump years that the January 6th Select Committee would do well to explore in further hearings.

Talking about Jared Goff, right? Nope. The above description fits Hall of Fame QB John Elway. Goff has all of the same elements coming out of Super Bowl 53, except he did it in his third season, one year earlier than Elway.
