I want to be clear: I am a 100% supporter of Israel. I am not a 100% supporter of Benjamin Netanyahu.

There is a criminal case pending against Netanyahu, his wife, and his son. In my view, the longer he can keep Israel at war — effectively operating under martial law conditions — the more insulated he is from prosecution and removal from power. That's not support for Israel. That's using a nation's security as a personal shield.

Israel's interests and the United States' interests do not always align. That tension matters — and it's not something our political leaders are having an honest conversation about.

If there’s one certainty in life, it is that time is such a thief and waits for no man. Here’s a photo of my best friend from law school Joe Connell and me in 1994. Look at that jet black hair. EB

Bittersweet day for us. Our daughter Sydney was home for a week but now back to beginning her fifth year of surgical residency in Birmingham Alabama. It was a good Father’s Day weekend but always sad to see your first born. Go back. Took some good photos with the fur babies. Never know when it will be the last for her with our English Bulldogs Stella who’s 11 years old. Have a great day fathers. EB

I think about my father a lot. He died in 2015, and I still feel his influence every single day.

He was the best man at my wedding. He was the best friend I've ever had. Just a decent, honest, hardworking man. The kind of person who doesn't make headlines, but leaves a mark on everyone he touches.

Leo Durocher said nice guys finish last. My dad finished first.

To every father out there — enjoy your day. To the kids reading this — tell your dad how much you love him. Don't wait.

To all you fathers out there who work hard, provide, contribute, or supportive of your wives and teachers to your children who wake up every morning and do the right thing I wish all of you a happy Father’s Day weekend. My father was my best friend and the best man at my wedding. He died in 2015 and there is always been a hole in my heart. There isnt a day that goes by that I don’t think about him and thank him for teaching me how to live a good life and do the right things. I know you do that for your kids. Enjoy your day. Renee took me for a boat ride today and drove the boat and let me sit upfront. EB

EP. 63 | Anything But Bland Weekly Update

Iran, democracy, the Knicks, a new puppy, and a Father's Day thought I've been carrying all week.

This week's episode covers a lot of ground, and I don't hold back on any of it.

On the Iran deal: I want to give President Trump credit for trying to end the conflict. But credit for trying and clarity about what this agreement does and doesn't do are two different things. There are no inspection rights. Ballistic missiles are still on the table. Iran gets to flood the oil market. And the Strait of Hormuz? It was open before we started bombing them. I break all of it down — what the deal says, what it doesn't say, and why that distinction matters.

I also talk about why I support Israel but not Benjamin Netanyahu right now. Those are not the same thing, and I think conflating them does a disservice to everyone.

Plus: the Knicks finally win it. Jalen Brunson is the real deal. Wemby needs to grow up. The World Cup is electric. Aldon Smith's death is a reminder of something the NFL still hasn't fully reckoned with. And USC baseball is headed in the right direction.
And — because it's Father's Day weekend — I share something about my dad. He died in 2015. He was the best man at my wedding and the best friend I've ever had.

Here we are in the National Crime Museum in Gatlinburg Tennessee for the Alex Murdaugh/Gloria Satterfield and other financial crime victims exhibit. Pretty cool that this is a permanent exhibit. Someday my grandkids (once kids get married) will see my name on the walls. Great photo being shown on the wall of Ronnie and me with Tony Satterfield and Brian Harriott after one of the court hearings. They are Gloria’s sons. EB
