This was a great piece.
The details surrounding Kwesi Adofo-Mensah's firing was puzzling. I break down what I've read, what I've heard, what his track record is and why I think there's more at play than him simply being bad at drafting

The Kwesi Konundrum: Why Did It Play Out Like This?
The Minnesota Vikings, bafflingly, let go of their general manager in late January. It may have made sense to let him go at season's end, but the timing and reporting is puzzling. We break it down.

Thanks for giving ICE more funding, Chuck. Really great work. /s
Trump's number one priority has been to make the wealthy, wealthier—it has never been the millions of young Americans looking to buy their first home.
He’s giving the middle finger to our youngest generation. @democrats.senate.gov are focused on making homeownership possible for everyone.

Trump: "People that own their homes -- we're gonna keep them wealthy. We're gonna keep those prices up. We're not gonna destroy the value of their homes so that somebody who didn't work very hard can buy a home."

Fuck this asshole and put him at the bottom of the ocean
SCHUMER says Democrats are “united” behind three DHS reforms
1/ End roving patrols; tighten the rules on warrants and require ICE to coordinate with local authorities.
2/ Enforce accountability; a uniform code of conduct.
3/ Require masks off, body cameras on, agents carry ID.

Very little if anything seems to have changed on the ground. ICE is still out there terrorizing neighborhoods and trying to disappear neighbors. None of us on the ground are buying this bullshit. We will keep organizing and fighting.

A stunner from @dvnjr.bsky.social and me: Bill Belichick is not a first ballot Hall of Famer. He didn't get elected this year. The 8-time champion failed to 40 out of the 50 votes required for induction.

“Executing citizens is bad, but [wanking motion]…”
Rep. Jason Smith on MN: "It's tragic when there's a loss of life of any in these kinds of situations, but it's incredible to look at President Trump's leadership. For him to take call of the mayor of Mpls and Gov. Walz, which are two people who have not said very nice things about the president... "

The game was unwatchable before the snow.
You play the regular season so you can earn the right to get home field in the playoffs. Only the Super Bowl should be a neutral site.

Everyone hates the idea of neutral-site conference championship games. Until the fourth quarter of Patriots-Broncos, which was unplayable -- and unwatchable.
Should conference championships be played at neutral sites?
Patriots-Broncos snowstorm could dust off an old debate.

I might be the only Vikings fan that is at peace with them letting Sam Darnold go.
It was the correct move at the time and is aging horribly.

Man…I’m just really freakin happy for Sam Darnold. We were in Arizona for his loss to the Rams last year—to go from that to this, and from castoff to the Super Bowl.
What an incredible journey. What a game. What a moment for him.
