@matthewcoller.bsky.social Culpepper sat for an entire year. Healthy. Drafted 11th overall. He did pretty well that first year he played. The coaching staff and GM are very aware their career depends on McCarthy’s success. They won’t wait “too” long. Let’s trust KOC on this one.

@matthewcoller.bsky.social I think people need to balance “7 of 8 Qs have been bad” with “1 Q absolutely won the game during his first ever start, also on the road, without key pieces.” Give him some games with a healthy OL of 1st stringers and his favorite receiver from training camp. #McCarthy

An EPA report found that the forever chemical PFNA interferes with human development and likely causes damage to the liver and male reproductive systems.

The agency has sat on the report for months. “Scientifically, it was done,” said one scientist.

"There’s the issue of masks... To us, masks are associated with cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan. In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police"

@matthewcoller.bsky.social your peers at PurpleDaily pointed out Vikings have 3rd highest depth of target through 4 games. Given O-line state since beginning of season? That’s almost coaching negligence, right? #vikings

ABC Pulls Jimmy Kimmel Off Air for Charlie Kirk Comments After F.C.C. Pressure

Yesterday, a late-night show vanished with a simple directive from 2 of the largest media companies you’ve never heard of (Nexstar & Sinclair), backed by the FCC. That’s not “the market at work.” It’s concentrated corporate power cooperating with an authoritarian. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/17/b...

You can never appease a tyrant.

This is satire, right?

Jeff Hiller accepting Emmy Award tonight

20 years ago, I saw the best one man show IMAGINABLE at UCB NY. It was Jeff Hiller's story of finding himself while working one summer at an amusement park. He has always deserved awards. This is fantastic.

@matthewcoller.bsky.social remember that question about what Thielen has to do to make the trade worth it? He may have already made it worth it with that 2pt conversion.

Blast from the CCL past!

Show me what cowardice looks like!
This is what cowardice looks like!

@matthewcoller.bsky.social re # of catches that Thielen needs to get? I don’t think the overall catch # matters, but it’s what the catch # represents. Are they 3rd down conversions? Are they scores? I would say averaging 1-2 “high pressure” catches per game would make it worth it.

Trump, With Tariffs and Threats, Tries to Strong-Arm Nations to Retreat on Climate Goals The president has made no secret of his distaste for wind and solar in America. Now he’s taking his fossil fuel agenda overseas.

President Trump is not only working to stop a transition away from fossil fuels in the U.S., he is pressuring other countries to relax their pledges to fight climate change and instead burn more oil, gas and coal.

Yay! Thanks, @emleiker.bsky.social ! U gave me cool points with my kid since we were listening in the car together! #skolvikes

94% of teachers have had to dip into their own pockets to buy school supplies. An estimated 1 in 6 have second jobs during the school year to make ends meet.

The average Wall Street employee got a record $244,700 bonus last year.

Something has gone terribly wrong.

Did they really move from Nova Scotia into America? Or is that just a myth?

There might be better sips of

Some Democrats have shown real heroism. But as a party they are disunited, ineffective, seemingly afraid of their shadows.

What would an opposition party strategy look like if the Democrats were bold and united? Some thoughts... https://robertreich.substack.com/p/if-democrats-got-off-their-asses
