I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Heck of a 1st year for the Ben Johnson #Bears You walk away seeing that the Bears have their HC and QB, two of the hardest things in the NFL to nail down.

The absolute epitome of stat watching in the worst way
If you watched Caleb Williams in the playoffs this year and your takeaway is his stats look bad, you probably shouldn't spend another minute covering the NFL
