I created a list and put all my friends, like, that I actually know, into a list. Then I can go to that list and see all their posts, without the other noise from other big names that I follow, who post lots more. A way to organize the fire hose of posts.

I'm calling this year's super bowl "The Special Teams Bowl", because special teams screw ups from the losing teams are one of the biggest reasons the Patriots and Seahawks won their respective conference championships. It takes all the phases.

There will not be a Superbowl repeat this year. The Chiefs back to back remains the only one in the last 20 years.

As a #Chiefs fan, I really can't decide who to root against more, the Eagles or the 49ers.

Two great games today. Both the Bears and the Panthers making big comebacks in the second half. The Panthers fell short, but the Bears pulled off an 18 point comeback with 25 points in the fourth quarter. The biggest comeback in Bears postseason history. 105 years.

AOC: ICE has less accountability than virtually any law enforcement agency in the U.S., yet they are some of the most well-funded, operating with impunity—and we just saw them murder an American citizen in cold blood in the street.

AOC has a steel spine.
Fox Producer: Jesse Watters would like to invite you on his show

AOC: He has sexualized and harassed me on his show.

FP: That’s not true

AOC: He accused me of wanting to sleep with Stephen Miller. So why don’t you tell me what you think is acceptable to tell a woman.

I stand with Nick. I would go further, but he is spot on about all of the Minneapolis shooting. He's clearly upset, as am I.

If this is what Denver has against the Chiefs, then the Chargers should win the division next week for the first time since 2009.

I'm glad the #Chiefs are not on TV today out of market so I don't have to see this game. Christmas will be brutal. Maybe they will flex that game out of the primetime slot.

An interesting consideration of the nexus of information, truth, technology, and power. Worth spending time to listen and also spend some thought cycles considering the implications.

Now THAT would be the end of the season if Mahomes is out.

That was a hold and not roughing the passer? What the fuck? This is the worst officiating ever.

Should be an election for that helmet hit on Thornton.

And it is!

Yay
