I don't know any of the details, but I will say this - if DUI hire Hegseth did indeed order the admiral to "kill them all", then he was duty bound to refuse the order. Both of them should pay the consequences.

The Hall of Faces, Epstein style. The House of Black and White in Braavos got nothing on him.

Yes, it's not easy qualifying for a lifetime pension, modest though it may be, after having served just five years in the House.

Can’t disagree with that, though I will say that the very idea of an MVP in a team sport doesn’t make a lot of sense.

In all my years in Mass and Maine, I've never seen either a bobcat or a lynx.

Ah yes, the old "they didn't win it, we lost it" gambit.
Yeah, no.
Yeah, no.

Last I looked, the MVP doesn't go to a team.

No worries. Pats are undefeated on the road this season.

I'm 74 years old. My father had season tickets to the Bears when I was a kid and we lived 20 miles west of Chicago.
I've lived in New England since 1973, and in particular 9 miles north of Boston since 1981. I've got socks older than you, sport, so slow your roll.

You root for a great game, which didn't happen for me in '85 when my two teams met in SBXX. Bears slaughtered the Pats 46-10. In the 2nd half, I found myself rooting more for the Pats out of pity.

Wrong at all levels. In a mobile society like the US, it's not unusual for someone to be a fan of one team, move to another locale, and by dint of simple geography, become a fan of another team.
Case in point - me. Grew up near Chicago, but a New Englander for 40+ years. Bears and Pats, baby!
