When Macdonald did this to the Big Ten they convinced themselves a vacuum repairman broke football with iphone copies of the same all-22 film everyone had already.

Imagine what insane conspiracies the Patriots will imagine.

@coltonpouncy.bsky.social On WtD, you brought up BH possibly pivoting to drafting high-floor guys. I've been wondering the same thing: instead of high-risk fliers after round 2, why not take a bunch of corn-fed Big Ten linemen? Have you found data on the relative success rate of the 2 approaches?

Needless to say that Renee Good and Alex Pretti will go down as heroes here in Minnesota and nationally, their names synonymous with sacrifice and caring for vulnerable neighbors even at the risk of your own life. And hopefully no more innocent lives are lost.

New at The Watch:

I dug into archival witness accounts of the British siege of Boston prior to the American Revolution.

They are remarkably similar to what we're seeing in Minneapolis.

Two cities under siege
Remarkably similar scenes from Boston and Minneapolis, 260 years apart, show a federal government betraying its founding principles.
