Hi. I wrote something. Been filled with many thoughts lately, as most of us have.
I know there's been a lot of think pieces over the last few days and it's exhausting at this point. But I had to let my thoughts pour out. Maybe this helps you. I hope it does.

Just want it on record on this site that when the first Mark Pope to Kentucky rumor hit Twitter, I went nuts and said that decision would set the program back multiple years

Otega Oweh…..woof, man
Disastrous start to the season. Doesn’t remotely look like a starter, let alone the supposed SEC Player of the Year
Nothing works for this Kentucky roster if this is the case

Mark Pope spent $22 million on somehow having an even WORSE defense then last year
Dude had a whole lot of goodwill through his first season at Kentucky, and he’s about to set it completely on fire in a 7-day span

Having read and fallen in love with the original source material *after* having seen the first trailer — the casting of Ryan Gosling as this character is god-tier
You can't not imagine him while reading the book. Think this is a best actor nomination lock for 2027. I'll be there opening night

It's deeply funny that Mike Johnson is so out of the loop when it comes to the plans of leadership
Dude is just a puppet and nothing more

Thune indicates Senate is unlikely to amend the Epstein bill and could pass it by unanimous consent today; cites the overwhelming House vote and Trump’s support.
Mike Johnson sort of on an island re: Epstein - voting for a bill he fought for months and hoped the Senate would amend. Awkytonk.

Seems obvious this plays out the same in the Senate then Trump will sign off on it
It then falls on the DOJ to provide the full files and yeahhhhh I don't have confidence in that
My bet is Bondi falls on her sword one way or the other and nothing happens. Only positive political out for Trump

This is 100% factually incorrect in the most literal sense
He didn't "dismiss" the question. He literally responded to it and said "things happen"
Complete and utter shame on The New York Times. Beyond journalistic malpractice at this point

Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

But my best guess for the Super Bowl Matchup this season is Rams vs.... Bills?
Think that feels the most right at the moment as I trust Josh Allen over Drake Maye. But the Patriots would be my No. 2 pick from the AFC right now

Whew. That Penix news is huge, huge NFL news
Real chance the Rams will make the Super Bowl and will have a Top 5 pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. The latter outcome there is 100% happening
Rebuild incoming for the Falcons, who should consider drafting a QB in the second round, and in the 1st in '27

Monday morning Quarterback thoughts thread:
Has Bryce Young figured things out? For this season, 14-7 TD-INT ratio, nearly 200 yards per game, 63% comp. percentage, QBR nearing 50
Basically league average across the board, and the Panthers are just a half game back in the division. Interesting!

Has been that way for a long time, and we’re way past a tipping point. But until Goodell cares, nothing will get done

Mahomes is the boogeyman
But to make the AFC playoffs, you need to have *at least* 10 wins. Considering they don’t have tiebreakers vs. the Bills and Jaguars (and possibly the Chargers) Kansas City needs to win 11
Which means they can’t lose more than 1 of these games. I just don’t see it

Since a week of bad discourse is ahead, put me in the camp of “Shedeur didn’t look *good* but there were flashes for someone who came off the bench in the 2nd half vs. the Ravens”
Would like to see him with a week of prep
Biggest issue he has is running backwards. Needs to bail out east to west
