This is Hall of Fame levels of wrong.
When I interviewed former Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, he said that he didn't think Canada's avoidance of travel and alcohol purchases due to the ongoing trade war would be long-term, even though Global News reported Canadians were already cancelling trips to the US for 2027 in April.

Kid2 just texted me a picture of a dachshund puppy available in the area, and now I need to convince the Ladyfriend that we need to get him. I even have a name picked out:

Weiner Herzog.

As an aside for absolute no reason tonight, I’ve always thought Jedd Fisch was an absolute idiot who should have stuck to tennis.

I got up this morning, seared a pork roast, put a glaze on it, tossed it in a crock pot with potatoes, carrots, and an onion, and watched as the boy tried a bite and launched his plate across the dining room.

Maybe he could have a future as a QB after all?

I think we need to start recognizing that Chris McIntosh is, in my opinion, the best wisconsin AD since Elroy Hirsch.

Translated: "This coaching market already has too many teams who will be overpaying, so let's just use this money elsewhere for now."

Top 5 Minnesota, but without people pissing in sinks or garbage cans like #1.
okay the kids are off to school so

That banner is actually a warning to students about watching Nebraska football.
A new “Welcome to your worst nightmare” banner flies in the Nebraska student section.

The boy just ran into a closed door and popped it open, providing even more proof that he's tougher than anyone on either line for USC or Nebraska.

Only $15m? Penn State just paid $50m for Franklin to go manage clock somewhere else.
News: Matt Rhule is staying at Nebraska, sources confirm to @NBCSports. He has agreed to a two-year contract extension (through 2032) — same base pay + big CFP incentives in the deal.

There's a $15 million buyout if he were to leave this year. So, cross him off for Penn State.

The Vikings should go get Kirk Cousins! It’s been a few months since they added an unlikable dipshit from the past in a move that didn’t help the team on the field at all.
