Swift was NOT a Dan Campbell player. He's talented but not mentally tough to be a winner. Ben Johnson might make something of him or he might waste cycles trying to make something out of him.

You are indeed fortunate in having a wife who undoubtedly has dragged you to things she thinks you should both do together and feels some payback is reasonable.

Eddie Murphy and Kenan in the Scared Straight sketch... Kenan says..."first thing its shoplifting and the next thing..." Eddie responds "GENOCIDE!" I swear to God I blacked out from laughing.

they will identify who donates to NAACP and will punish those people.

Cody on the correct app.

Baez being in best shape of his life or to take a year off his service clock are two other reasons.

The back fields are a weird experience. Last time I was there was when Wilkin Hernandez saved my son's life by jumping over the wall and bringing back a HR ball that I was foolishly trying to catch with my son on my shoulders. The ramifications of the ball hitting the kid instead of my hands which I was using to hold him were lost on gormless me. Back then, you could back then just go back there and watch drills and scrimmages they had going on. You'll see a lot of infield scenario practices. The pitchers have to be HERE when the ball goes to RF and there is a runner on second. The runner being drilled on how far to lead off on the fly ball, etc. They are experienced at Baseball but they do the drills to make it all second nature. Its of great interest if you are a youth sports coach or otherwise a nut about the game, but your non-baseball addict wife or kids might be bored out of their minds.

The credit for the survival of the Zelensky Government in Feb 22 owes a tremendous amount to the help he got from US and Allied intel which gave him precise warning of the place and timing of the attempted coup de main at Hostumel Airport. The people who gave that warning had a success of the caliber of that which killed Yamamoto in '43 or more to the point and on the nose, to allow the US to smuggle US Embassy Tehran employees out via the Canadian ambassador's house.

Imagine going so far that the Federalist Society would think you've gone too far.

Plus oath-breaking, Constitution hater.

def Worse still, we are heading for another global pandemic.

Also, lets create the conditions for WW3 by backing out of our defense commitments.

Eddie Murphy doing Tracy Morgan was awesome!!!!

watching the special.. The first sketch was zany...bizonkers.

I'm learning from Detroit Tigers bsky that the ladies and the gays really like Jack Flaherty.

Collective security is communist dontchaknow

Listening now to Motor City Metrics…savage

Was thinking on a possible post-retirement project. These thoughts are of a time when I have leisure time to pursue, not fighting and clawing to pay a mortgage and put my kids through college. Having read a bit on the segregation problem/challenges of the US Military in WWII that I would do a long form on the attitudes of WWII US Generals and Admirals about racial issues with a couple of threads: What part of the Mason-Dixon they were born/grew up on Family that had fought in the Civil War for either side. E.g., reading about Terry Allen's ancestor who fought for the North at Gettysburg ...fascinating character. Patton's family were definitely Confederates. Religious background and how that had influenced these views College of primary military training and how that influenced these views (West Point, Annapolis, VMI, Norwich, others schools). If the views manifested themselves in peacetime/wartime events. How these views compared to allies they came into contact with...e.g., the UK was shocked at how poorly we treated our African-American troops. Anyway, I keep a journal where I stuff ideas like this in for future projects. This one was coming to mind as I was reading about the battles on Bouganville where the Segregated 93rd Infantry Division fought under a Broadway sized spotlight because they were unable to go into the line for their first action without having to be 1. put out as a shining example by Black press and 2. seen as an embodiment of all possible failures of the African American race by the racists both in the Army and at home. Not sure that is anything a lot of people will want to read but that wouldn't be who I would be writing it for.

Castro would be loving what is happening in the United States this month.

So, its also that they couched it in diplomatic language. They have to live there so to speak. But definitely a thing to be explained in context. As for me...i'm going to make snarky comments not aimed at hurting people but for my own amusement on this here internet. If people think I'm wasting their time, that's a them problem.

This is pretty funny

Yes, they have IGs for this. Hence no need to illegally fire the IGs. GAO exists.

Tiger Territory covered the Tork malaprops and said it was not a good look for him. Needed to be fixed. Understood the general notion of him having too much data, too many inputs and needing to take an approach that worked for him. But, that was not a good thing to say.

Longgo spent a lot of time being annoyed at us for questioning Tork’s statements.
