"Insults" from the internet that apparently I'm supposed to take offense to:

- "Nice shirt."
- "You write about bobsledding."
- "Your favorite baseball team is a minor league team."
- "Your favorite football team is a CFL team."

All just statements of fact, really.

the rule on quarterbacks under center not being able to go in motion is so obscure and ancient that it literally uses the phrase "t-formation quarterback"

T-Formation Quarterback. It is legal for a T-Formation Quarterback to go in motion, whether he has placed his hands under center, on his knees, or on the body of the center. However, it is a false start if the action is quick and abrupt. If the player fails to come to a complete stop for at least one full second prior to the ball being snapped, it is illegal motion.

So I broke my face 9 years ago and if I’m a little stuffy at all and we get a pressure system it feels like I’ve been punched in the face repeatedly

Blaney is out, Elliott had a loose tire on pit road and is a lap down, Larson leads, Reddick, Byron, Hamlin, Brisco all around the top 5.

If Bluesky bought me this pup, I would post pup content in exchange

That’s all I can offer?

But these times are BLEAK

It’s not the worst offer

I would name her Cassandra because she would warn me when Bad Shit was about to happen, but I may or may not listen because I am a stubborn mf

The cost for the dog alone is $4K, service training can be a whole lot more than that

Maybe the most elite thing Joe Flacco has done is leading this offense to one (1) touchdown.

Reminder that Oregon State and Penn State players cannot enter the transfer portal this week.

They have to wait 5 days after the schools hire a new coach, and then they have 15 days to enter the portal.

Otherwise, they have to wait for the new January portal dates.

If a school paid me $50 million to not coach I would devote at least $1 million of that to various petty stunts like having a plane fly over the stadium and dump fake dollar bills with a picture of my face on the crowd
