Let's talk about writing, books, MN sports, politics, art, science, philosophy, and, most importantly, puns. Living in New England, still feel Minnesotan. Sometimes have fever dreams about Jabberjaw.

Best part of the whole CFP committee convo is that, years ago, people said we couldn't rely on polls/ metrics. We needed "football people" to bring common sense and true knowledge of what makes a true championship contender. Even back then, I thought--have you ever listened to some of these people?

Keeping Dayne is a necessity. Yes, best shot-stopper in the league. That would be reason enough. But then add in that he's a face of the franchise, seems to be someone who is popular in the locker room/ connects with teammates, engages the fans, and so on. Another own-goal if he leaves.

"Without ChapCPT to tell me to sell or harvest my baby's mini-organs, how could I have been a good parent? I raised my child, learned the Holocaust was a myth, and discovered that Abraham Lincoln killed over 10,000 vampires."

I’ve often said the one thing that will make air travel better is ensuring passengers are even sweatier.

Every season, I see a Chargers game and it’s β€œJustin Herbert is playing tonight. His collarbone is shattered, he can’t use 4 of his fingers, both lungs are punctured, and his spleen has been fitted with its own helmet.”

That slogan as Trump lifts the FIFA SuperGooder ManGenius of the Universe award, which is a trophy of him pissing on the globe.

He didn't secure the catch, chew the ball, digest the ball, and shit it out, then present the pile of shit to the ref.

ESPN will now award Trump the College Football Playoff Selection Show Peace Prize Brought To You By Dr. Pepper. The trophy is in the shape of Kirk and Saban embracing after they heard a player had transferred. #CFBSelectionShow

New Mexico with some great new unis. 9 wins. A coach who actually didn’t leave. Give them the title.

Wolves back! Sometimes, it’s a celebratory cheer. Sometimes, it’s a threat.

DeBoer: β€œHey Matt. Don’t you hate dealing with all this NIL stuff? Imagine if you could just be a coordinator at Penn Stateβ€”calling plays and avoiding all the nonsense. You want offense? Defense? Special Teams? You can even get paid more than me. Just gimme a call when you get a chance.”

This CFB playoff would be much more interesting with both Miami and ND over Alabama. Plus, mad SEC is always entertaining. I wonder how bad this beatdown by Georgia would have to get for the committee to seriously consider leaving Bama out.

Oh man. Cubas has been so good for Vancouver. Tough mistake for him after such a great season.

Whitecaps now level, very much the better side through 60+.
