If you’re a football dork and/or want to learn more about the game, the altcast with Dan and Luke Kuechly on ESPN2 is great. Lots of great analysis of tendencies, personnel/formation, in game decision making and more.

I don’t think there’s a better lame duck head coach sentence out there than
"I have resorted to Quinn Ewers" is a sentence written beyond the border of desperation
[Schefter] A major move in Miami: the Dolphins are benching QB Tua Tagovailoa and turning to Quinn Ewers as their new starting QB, per sources.
Ewers’ first start comes Sunday vs. the Bengals. x.com/adamschefter...

there is really no difference between the current administration and having the country run by david duke
On that last post: I genuinely cannot think of any good-faith reason to bar international adoptions from those 39 countries. Under this new ban, consulates will refuse adoption visas for any baby from Cuba, Haiti, Venezuela, Nigeria, or any of the 39 other countries.

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously
