What if the Bill Belichick HOF snub is because the media knows much more about his "formula for success" than The Shield allowed to be shared with the common folk for all these years?

Every social theory undergirding Trumpism has been broken on the steel of Minnesotan resolve. The multiracial community in Minneapolis was supposed to shatter. It did not. It held until Bovino was forced out of the Twin Cities with his long coat between his legs.

The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common, and that they’re the ones who are alone. In Minnesota, all of the ideological cornerstones of MAGA have been proved false at once. Minnesotans, not the armed thugs of ICE and the Border Patrol, are brave. Minnesotans have shown that their community is socially cohesiveβ€”because of its diversity and not in spite of it. Minnesotans have found and loved one another in a world atomized by social media, where empty men have tried to fill their lonely soul with lies about their own inherent superiority. Minnesotans have preserved everything worthwhile about β€œWestern civilization,” while armed brutes try to tear it down by force.

Last week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significantβ€”though not finalβ€”victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.

A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

β€œWe are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the β€˜hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

They should have gone with my plot from Christmas 1983. Skeletor steals He-Man's Power Sword and the good guys have to use that rack of crappy weapons that came with Castle Greyskull to reclaim it in battle.

But yes, I'll be there.

Why fire Zac when you are going to get the 10th best coach in this cycle? Coaching Burrow does not make up for $5-10 million discrepancy in annual salary.

Similar play. Underthrown ball. Contact. No flag. I think this is correct. Gotta deliver a successful ball. If you don’t, you fail. No bailout from a flag.

Oh, no delusions here about where we should be ranked. They played a ton even though it was counterproductive, especially after 9 came back. One of the big questions of the season - why? NFL teams just do not start two rookie LBs. We did. My point was more about Fairchild. We all love him!

Most Bengals fans will be puzzled by this. Not where we rank, but rather who is considered good and who isn't. Our rookie LBs cost us wins all season and their stats are merely cumulative. Fairchild is widely considered a key building block moving forward.

What's the difference between most of us and Donald Trump?

When someone screams "pedophile protector," most of us know it's not directed at us.

Well I'm not smarter than you, but I periodically watch the NFL's official Joe Burrow 2024 highlight video. He was so damn good last year the thing is 44 minutes long. That and "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" with the Prince guitar solo. Oh, and Springsteen & Tom Morello "Ghost of Tom Joad" from 2009
