A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Quinn Ewers may not be wearing Scarlet and Gray anymore, but it’s clear he still has a deep connection to Ohio State. Ewers, of course, was the most highly-rated quarterback ever since high school rankings began in the early 2000s, and spent a season in Columbus in 2021.
Ewers reclassified and enrolled late in the summer at OSU but saw little playing time as a true freshman. The Southlake, Texas native had always been a Texas Longhorns fan and decided to transfer back home the following season where he’s spent the past two seasons leading Steve Sarkisan’s team.

It’s an impressive list of teams that include Georgia, USC, Oregon, and Michigan that are trying to lure him to play for them.
