Not a bot. Not a troll. Follower of all truth tellers including, but not limited to @emptywheel.bsky.social at emptywheel.net and the people that make it such a good destination.
A pardon - HELL NO. There are several forms of clemency as I am sure Mark and others can address much better than I. Commutation, as I understand it, involves sentence shortening (including immediate termination), but does NOT erase the conviction which, in and of itself, has future implications.

So all those specialty coaches - 8 - went to LSU from Ole Miss with Kiffen?

Well..I won't tell him there is a portal. Congrats.

I would also suggest you try a deep dive into the BRICS, where did VZ precious metals go, alternative banking settlement systems, and in general de-dollarization. Just a thought.

Well…looked like Gins had a delayed negative impact on the Bucs.

Kiffin probably has a price

I see Fins are doing Fin things. NE could get #1 seed if LAC can get lucky. Might have to watch…

Mendoza. Mendoza. Ain’t gonna happen.

I was reading a really odd suggestion on The Phinsider that Fins-Cards ought to swap QBs and contracts. Supposedly no cap impact. Better fits? I don’t think so.

Might make money sense but not going to fix either teams QB problem.
January 4, 2026 at 11:21 PM
When LAC didn’t play Herbert I figured the “fix” was in. A Fin win helps both Denver AND LAC regardless of who wins that game?

Wife and her family are Boston connected so asking a lot now that Belichick and Brady aren’t there. Besides more good may befall the Fins if they lose.

Nuts - I know.

So Jack Smith could return to the ICC, indict Trump, and The Netherlands could sprit Trump away to face charges. What are the holes in this plan?

I just recently learned a buckeye is a poisonous nut. Figures.

I will be extending what is - for me - a just discovered long tradition of NOT watching the Mayo Bowl. Is the highlight the Mayo dump?

I’m not even watching the NHL winter classic in freaking LoanDepot (Marlins) Park. Guess I will never know how a hockey game is played on a baseball field.

What do you have against Florida? I mean they might fit in the Panhandle - it's GA-AL after all.

Jus careful to not make @jimwhitegnv.bsky.social and me set up billboards encouraging MAGATs move the AZ.

Nope. Not going to happen.

BTW - not that you care but we were late brunching for my oldest son’s birthday. A New Years baby is an odd thing. Glad I missed the Fruit Bowl wipeout. But glad it was The Ducks.

Wait for the spring. It's too cold now and - what if it snows and Zohran does not personally remove it?

The year the chickens come home to roost? The first day of 2026 is still young. How long before DJT says something "on brand" for him (on brand because he is capable of a wide range of mal-a-props)?
