Sports Illustrated accused of publishing articles written by non-existent, AI-generated authors.: Noting that several "authors" headshots and bios were available for sale from a third-party AI website under descriptions like "neutral white young-adult male with short brown hair and blue eyes" or "joyful asian young-adult female with long brown hair and brown eyes", Maggie Harrison at Futurism investigates suspicious pieces that have been published under the banner of the once-heralded magazine. The Arena Group, who runs SI's current publishing line, says the pieces were published by a third-party contractor named AdVon, who has assured SI that "all of the articles in question were written and edited by humans" and therefore this is all big misunderstanding. SI has admitted no wrongdoing, but has terminated their contract with AdVon.

I can only imagine how many fights broke out within the groups of Bills fans who left early. Sitting there in their car listening to the radio call, just getting sick to their stomachs that they made the wrong decision.
Incredible game.

Irsay bought the Colts in '97. In the time since then, they've appeared in 2 Super Bowls (winning one) and 4 AFC Championship Games (winning two, losing two to Tom Brady).
The Cowboys in that same time frame: N/A
My friends that are lifelong Cowboys are pushing 50 and were in high school during the Triplets' run. Nobody under the age of 40 has any meaningful memories of successful Cowboys football. Nobody under the age of 30 was even alive at the time.
Jerry runs a very successful business, and they're admittedly entertaining to gawk at, but good lord he's awful at football.

My guess is probably not, but does Wade discuss the legendary 107-beer flight?

This is one of those things we'll probably never really know, but I'm curious if the drafting and promising Summer League performance of Yang Hansen played any role in the negotiations.
