Whenever I see someone getting out over their skis on a foreign policy take I remember Caitlin Flanagan confusing Ayatollah Khamenei with Ayatollah Khomeini and then claiming she was actually expressing a profound truth.

The Steelers designed a whole shitty, petty gameplan around not letting Myles Garrett get that one sack and it made them lose a winnable game they needed. And that's how the Baltimore Ravens won the Super Bowl

Basically my only positive Vikings thought this season is that Brian Flores should win every available award. here's hoping
Working on my AP ballot and one thing I found interesting—8 of my top 10 choices for Assistant Coach of the Year are defensive playcallers.

Some of that is bc HCs skew offense, but also….just a great year for defense.

it's called the Dostoevsky method. what we do is find promising up-and-coming thinkers and make them believe they are on the precipice of execution, calling it off only at the very last second. this releases the exquisite juices of their brains, which benefits us all. unconventional, yet effective.

i mean nobody has written it on the side of a blimp but if you can't see in pieces like this what people meant when they said "the media wants trump to win, no not just the newspaper owners, all of them, even the ones who say they don't" - i give even odds that this reporter doesn't even realize it
From the perspective of reporting the news, it doesn’t strike me that there is a functional difference between a president who answers the phone at 4:30am in the morning but doesn’t answer a reporter’s questions, versus a president who doesn’t agreed to be interviewed.

Sam Darnold moved to New York for his job at age 22 and was miserable and unhealthy while there, then eventually moved to Minnesota and started thriving. Pretty weird life. Don’t recognize it

one of my two best friends of December, Roberto Bolano and Sam Darnold, has already betrayed me in the new year. not saying who

Now that I’m unburdened by Sam Darnold my third eye has opened. I see it all, past, present, and future. I am one with the wind; I am the snow that hasn’t yet fallen

Sam Darnold, who no one actually thinks is good, is about to win 14 games two years in a row on two different teams

seems like the basic summation of the Seahawks is that, in this age of young hotshot coaches who are all play-design nerds and have everything schemed up to hell, they got the only one who does that for defense

The "Do Something Now" folks, Free Palestine Movement folks, Dearborn folks, AIPAC is bad folks, Hillary & Kamala were bad choices folks, Bernard should have been POTUS folks, etc., y'all are responsible for all the retaliation coming to us.

I've made my peace.
Hopefully, y'all make yours soon.
