The guys on a fantasy football podcast I listen to started to do these jokes almost every episode but replace Norris with a rookie player. Gonna have to find a new one because it pisses me off so bad I have to turn it off.

One time when I was sitting with my stepmom one of those went by and I was laughingly telling her the whole doctor killer thing. Remembered slowly like the rising light of dawn that before I met her, her dad died crashing a plane like that

I picked up some kind of illness from watching the football games. I believe it was in the bottom of several cans of white claws

Gavin Newsom suggesting that 25 years of age is too young to transition and agreeing to right-wing entryism of concern trolling about trans people in sports. This is your opposition leader?
