ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS NO ONE IS ASKING:

● Shot:

Credibility figures to be the word of the day when Roger Goodell holds his annual state of the NFL news conference on Wednesday.

The issues are numerous: Ensuring that the league’s concussion protocol is followed, enforcing the spirit and letter of the law with the Rooney Rule designed to boost diversity in the head coaching and executive ranks, explaining just how in the world Colin Kaepernick still doesn’t have a job as the NFL conceivably supports the players’ right to protest, and knowing exactly what does or should constitute a catch. It all reinforces that Goodell’s NFL clearly needs an upgrade in the credibility department.

—“Roger Goodell and the NFL have a credibility problem”, Jarrett Bell, USA Today, Tuesday.

● Chaser: Kaepernick raises $20K in celebrity donations for group honoring convicted cop-killer. “Colin Kaepernick said Friday he has raised $20,000 for Assata’s Daughters, named after convicted cop-killer Assata Shakur, through matching donations from his celebrity friends as part of his Million Dollar Pledge.”

LIMITS: Have Self-Driving Cars Stopped Getting Better? “One solution could be to deploy a teleoperation system such as the one being developed by Phantom Auto, where a remote human driver can take control for a short time to navigate an unexpected obstacle or assist passengers. Another possibility is that the road to our driverless future is going to be bumpier than expected.”

“A BUNCH OF SPECIAL INTEREST BULLIES:” Inside the Insane Battle Over Arizona’s Blow-Dry Licensing Bill.

ANDREW KLAVAN: REALITY HAS A VOICE. “I remember sitting on the edge of my bed that day, staring thunderstruck at the television screen as East Germans, brutalized by socialism, yearning to be free, dismantled the central symbol of the Cold War. I remember thinking: ‘I’ll be damned. That old b*****d Reagan was right about everything.’ And I began to change my mind. Because… reality.”

I remember thinking the same thing back in the 1980s about tax cuts igniting the stock market, which Business Week had dubbed “dead” in 1979. Read the whole thing.

DISPATCHES FROM THE NEWSPEAK DICTIONARY: “God will no longer be referred to as He or Him in the Episcopal Church Diocese of Washington, D.C., which passed a resolution last week barring all use of masculine pronouns when referring to the Almighty. They will be updating their Book of Common Prayer as a result.”

ROBERT TRACINSKI: Twenty-five years ago, ‘Groundhog Day’ seemed like just a light screwball comedy. It has since been accepted as a beloved classic with unexpected depths. “‘Groundhog Day,’ a seemingly light and whimsical 1993 comedy from director Harold Ramis, is 25 years old this year, and the film has had an interesting life. It debuted to generally positive but not reverential reviews, yet has since been accepted as a beloved classic with unexpected depths. The general response was summed up when Roger Ebert upgraded his review 12 years later from three stars to four. It seems he only came to appreciate it after repeated viewings—which, given the film’s premise, is kind of amusing.”

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: VIDEO: Law prof: says Department of Justice a ‘sh*thole.’

More than a dozen of students and professors blasted the Illinois College of Law last week, labeling it a “sh*thole” for hosting an event that featured a Department of Justice official.

According to the school’s calendar, the college of law sponsored last week’s lecture by Deputy Solicitor General Malcolm Stewart, who was invited by the university to discuss various topics relating to the justice system.

Students for Economic Empowerment UIUC organized the protest, using it as a platform to speak out against president Trump, despite the fact that Stewart has held his role since 2008.

The video footage obtained by Campus Reform depicts a visibly frustrated law professor, Francis Boyle, berating the Department of Justice and leading the protesters in an anti-Trump chant outside of the law building, with The Daily Illini confirming that it in fact Boyle who is featured in the video.

“And I say, it is the College of Law here, the ‘Trump College of Law,’ that brought out this high-level Trump henchman,” the professor said into the megaphone. “They are the s—-holes too. And I want everyone in there to hear exactly what we think about them.”

We keep hearing about how Trump has lowered the tone of public debate in America. I guess this is what people are talking about.

HIGHER EDUCATION BUBBLE UPDATE: Nebraska pres of AAUP resigns amid pressure to support embattled lecturer. “The American Association of University Professors Nebraska state president resigned after only one month due to pressure to support a lecturer who harassed conservative students on campus last year.
