Surely this kind of scene forces ownership to think about who is running the show here, GM and head coach.

Military officials question fortifications at site where U.S. troops were killed in Iranian strike The first American service members to die in the U.S.-Israeli war with Iran were killed in an apparent Iranian drone attack on a makeshift office space in Kuwait, sources told CBS News.

On the 6 US troops who died at Shuaiba port in Kuwait: Troops asked for more drone defeat capabilities, none came. It was recommended that the makeshift tactical operations center not be used because it was hard to defend and concentrated too many troops in one place. www.cbsnews.com/news/iran-st...

I’m amazed that there’s a corn field *right over there* — also, asa Midwesterner, that NJ has corn farmers.

Not being critical here or defending it, but does any big-school fanbase not do this to a player who moves in by choice (particularly to a rival)? Michigan State fans unloaded on Jamerson, …

It remains astounding how unfaithfully the media covers Trump’s ramblings day to day. We’re a decade into this — and his rambling gets worse — and yet the coverage continues to portray his public appearances as if they’re coherent.

Went to an art museum in Dallas (we were college students). The car broke down in a driving rain on the way back to the campus. Provided me with the opportunity to offer up my dry blazer that was sitting in the car (something I almost never wore) and earn a few points on the long road to married.

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.

I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.
