Former small-town sports writer and not missing that life at all. Asthmatic so bad that I might be allergic to air. Living life with seven cats and three dogs.
Someone who's paid to write for a living put this abomination of a sentence in my city's newspaper.

Heaven, should it exist, is an infinite plane. How many people does she intend to kill?
Make Heaven Crowded is an insane title.

I would try to experiment by posting to Bluesky, Twitter, and Threads simultaneously except for the fact that I left the other two because they're bot-infested hellholes.

I'd try Mastodon, too, but I left that because it seemed like no one was there.

I came here and am pleased it's NOT a "Global Townsquare." Because look at what happened to the sites that aspired to be such.

I don't think DJ Moore saw that ball. It's not that I want to agree with Cris Collinsworth, but after seeing a replay from the secondary, I don't think he knew where it was.

Punting down two scores with four minutes left and only one time out reeks of conceding.

Remember how cool it was that four of the six Wild Card games were competitive down to the wire? Good times. It feels like it was just a week ago.

Guy who just posted a bad take similar to this: "Stroud can't deal with the hits? What happened to QBs we praised for playing through it like Burrow, Luck, and Favre?"

He should fucking know what happened to the first two and who's going to be surprised if it's ever found that Favre has CTE?

For the olds: Jarrett Stidham is no Jeff Hostettler.

For the youngs: Jarrett Stidham is no Nick Foles.

Musk: Our economy might need to be destroyed.

Also Musk: No. WE were supposed to be the ones to destroy our economy!
Looks like the EU-US trade deal is now dead, with all three major groups in the EU Parliament calling at least for suspension. The downward spiral has already begun.

Now people are saying the NFL rigged the game because it doesn't want Josh Allen to win a Super Bowl. If Houston loses tomorrow, I want to see all the justification that the NFL wanted a Bo Nix-Drake May AFC Championship Game over Josh Allen vs C.J. Stroud. Bring me your conspiracies!

Hold on... What, now?

I think based on the reminiscing that I've been doing on here today, I should end all my posts with #yeahimold (Yeah, I'm old).

I've been more active on here than I was in November and December. I guess that means my mental health has rebounded enough that I'm ready to engage with reality again. Because there was a short time after the election that I would have gladly offed myself except for the fact that I want... (more)

I guess I've been a bad boy lately. My phone no longer corrects "fuck" or any form thereof. It is now aware that when I'm angry, I'm not "ducking" angry.

I don't know how Justin Herbert can be a good quarterback when his offensive line lets him get destroyed like this in crunch time. And it's not like they did him many favors over the first 55 minutes.

If Joe Burrow isn't the next to be Andrew Lucked out of the league, it'll be Herbert.

NFL officials are somehow both incompetent and clever enough to carry out conspiracies against your team.

If the NFL were conspiring against your team, the officials would be too incompetent to carry it out.

Republicans: We believe in States Rights and that we are supposed to stay out of the way.

Minnesota: We want to investigate this killing of a civilian by a federal agent.

Republicans: We're going to interject ourselves here and stop you from doing that.

Americans will watch crap football on a holiday. Great.

Next year's games will be Jets-Giants and Saints-Raiders.
Netflix scores again with record-setting viewership for its Christmas NFL games @seekingalpha

The best American football game on TV right now is Montana vs. Montana State.

I left my job at a small newspaper in Southeast Kansas seven years ago yesterday. The company never turned off my online subscription, so I've been able to watch the paper devolve (yeah, that's the right word) while I've been gone.

In the past three to four weeks, I've noticed a few odd things...

If I become as obsessed with the probability that it might rain if I reach my parents' age, I'm going to stop taking my COPD medication and let my lungs decide if I should continue to live.

So he'll read anything that's put in front of him.

I didn't expect the Idiocracy-Anchorman cross-over, but here we are.

No. Absolutely not. I don't care who the president is. No politician — and ESPECIALLY not Wanna-Be Dictator Nacho Cheese Dorito Dust Fat Fuck— gets the privilege of using my ears during football. I watch sports to ESCAPE, not to let a politician spit bullshit on my TV.

I came back just for today. What I'm seeing makes me a little happy but I'm still not ready to be here full time. Mental health first. I hope you understand.
