It's terrible. My wife is an administrator at an elementary school and they're going to have to extend it to K-8 because they've lost so many enrollees to home schooling. And 100% of the time, the parents that are doing the home schooling are not qualified to do it. Scary times breeds scarier future

That last part is everything. Like, we always knew there were just going to be shitty people among us, unavoidable. But now they're empowered...ENCOURAGED to be shitty

When official govt accounts are tweeting pictures mocking people, our sense of human compassion is just gone. And that's all we had

It's not for me either, my man.

I hate to say this - but listen to my podcast. It's the purest version of "Travis content" we make

I cannot say engage physically without reciting the entire D.E.N.N.I.S system dialog

I have really hate listened to my Dolphins podcasts of late but I would love to give @wingfieldnfl.bsky.social a shout for the use of the D.E.N.N.I.S. system. More of this please 😂

And like, whoa! Yeah, that's THE exact type of person/reply/mindset that got us to this point.

For some personal perspective...I write here and there for the site. I've been asked to back off the personality if it all - make it BORING!

And I just fear we've lost/are losing the entire plot in life.

As I'm enjoying this perspective, I scroll to the first comment who says this:

So, you left your occupation because you felt disrespected by a 6-year-old or because you had reached retirement age?

Blaming the kid for your choices sound nonsensical, take ownership of your life.

I'll give the link but essentially it's a store of a teacher of 40 years who felt the magic of the job disappear by societal changes.

It touched me. Both for the nostalgic flair, the beauty in someone that hasn't lost that wonder... but also the grim nature of its reality.

I need to vent for a moment about the state of the world.

I feel we've completely lost the wonder and beauty and color of our world. Not in a physical sense, but more so the droning on of keeping up with a capitalist, status-quo, appeasing the oppressors sense.

I saw this tweet (stay with me)...

Me too, man. If the Mariners lose tomorrow I’m walking into the ocean, calling it a life

It’s looking more likely that the Chargers will be down OT1, OT2, OT3 and OT4 on top of their top two backs being out.

Hand being down for an already thin DT group, too…if the Dolphins were 2-3 or 3-2, this would be something to be very excited about (they’re very, very beatable).

Like, this question to Malik this week was embarrassing to me:

(The Panthers really stacked the box in the second half. Just how do you get teams to respect the pass?)

Travis Wingfield @wingfieldnfl.bsky.social · 1d

Everyone covers the game differently but this stuff is just not that hard to find. We are given access to databases that you can easily search this stuff on. Or, you could watch the tape. I know the goal isn't to analyze the game for everyone, but can we not ask erroneous Q's as statement of fact?

Travis Wingfield @wingfieldnfl.bsky.social · 1d

Just want to clarify a pet peeve I've developed. I saw a lot of questions towards Dolphins coaches about running into a stacked box Sunday.

The Panthers ran 3 plays in the game with 8 defenders in the box. They ran 16 plays with 7+ in the box. Only four of those plays against 11 personnel.
