They are showing the same 5 or 6 fans when they go for their "audience shock" camera cuts on this show, probably because the event is so poorly attended. #RoyalRumble

This is the CDC map for homicide rates by state for the most recent year on their website.

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.

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

Of course, it's a Packers writer. Absolutely brain dead. And jealous (understandable)
