BAGHDAD — Iraqi authorities on Saturday were investigating the killing of a well-known social media influencer, who was shot by an armed motorcyclist in front of her home in central Baghdad. Ghufran Mahdi Sawadi, known as Um Fahad or “mother of Fahad,” was popular on the social media sites TikTok and Instagram, where she posted videos of herself dancing to music and was followed by tens of thousands of users.

The killing took place in Zayoona, the same neighborhood where a prominent Iraqi researcher and security expert Hisham al-Hashimi was gunned down in 2020.

Picture this: It’s the summer of 2027, and two emerging stars are making Coors Field a true baseball draw again.

While that may seem like a purple-tinted tableau right now, as the Rockies are tracking toward another 100-loss season, it could be reality.

The dorks at The Grading The Week offices have few commandments, but we’re kind of worried that the Broncos just broke Rule No. 8: If thou winneth a majority — or all — of thy championships in a particular uniform, thou must not change or mothball that uniform, lest thou land on the wrong side of karma. Why hello there, Damani Leech! Team GTW doesn’t fear change but we’re also suckers for tradition.

The thing about the Nuggets as champions: They never need to say, “We are the best.” Everybody knows it. Contrast them with the Lakers, who are like the kid in high school who gives himself a nickname. All the Nuggets do is win. All the Lakers do is whine. And the Lakers don’t discriminate.
