@chriscillizza.bsky.social Your vid on Trump running for a 3rd term suggests he could run as VP w/Pres resigning. From 22nd amendment: "no person constitutionally ineligible to the office of President shall be eligible to that of Vice-President of the United States." Doesn't this preclude the swap?

Try as I might to avoid hearing the insanity that is Fox "News," I heard Will Cain suggest Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize. Are these people just fucking crazy!

Seriously? "You play to win the game" (which ultimately means "championships"). Are we really getting this soft? #NBA #LeBronJames

LeBron bemoans ring culture: 'It's never enough'
LeBron James criticized the discourse around "ring culture" in the NBA, pushing back on the idea that a player's greatness is measured by how many championships he wins.

Last shot, best shot. Finished a first draft of a novel I've worked on for years (some on again, off again). Red O'Ryan rides again...?

Pathetic. They are so stuck in the '70s. You trade for Fields, you want to keep him, then do it! #Steelers

Steelers signed Aaron Rodgers after failing on two other QB options, per report
Pittsburgh made the most of the offseason quarterback market, but Rodgers wasn't the Steelers' first priority

Only the #Steelers could take 3 full seasons to replace Roethlisberger with a guy less than 2 years younger than he is now. That said I like most of their off-season moves. Had to have Rodgers at this point. Don't get Pickens trade. Hope OSU kid develops.

Sources: Rodgers with Steelers, inks $13M+ deal
Aaron Rodgers has signed a one-year, $13.65 million deal with the Steelers, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter, a deal that includes $10 million guaranteed.

Amazing to watch mama birds take care of their babies. See it up close almost every year.

And so it begins. A third term is ILLEGAL. This is NOT about America. It's NOT about democracy. It's about Trump's ego and making him a king. I said he would try to run again right after he won in '24, and this is the clearest signal yet that he will.

Reminds me of "Mr. Mom" when all of the wife's co-workers were jumping on Michael Keaton's character so the boss could win the company picnic "Olympics." #wannabe

Agreed w/a post on Twitter - didn't watch the Selection Show. Wondering aloud...Big 5 sucks, Sixers suck, does it drain our interest in the Philly area in the Tourney? I'll still watch and likely gamble on it, but it ain't what it used to be.

Sad to see what's happening at CNN.
Today’s show was my last at CNN. My closing message: It’s never a good time to bow down to a tyrant… don’t give in to the lies. Don’t give in to fear. Hold on to the truth… and hope.

#Steelers continue to be stuck in the 1970s. This simply makes zero sense. They should be jumping at the chance to move on from Tomlin. I don't get "trading a coach," just fire the guy, but why rebuff trade offers?
www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...
Sources: Bears' Tomlin call rebuffed by Steelers
The Bears recently called the Steelers to see whether they would be allowed to talk to Mike Tomlin in an attempt to trade for him, only to have Pittsburgh rebuff their inquiry, sources told ESPN.

Saw this via @robtornoe.bsky.social on Twitter/X, anntelnaes.substack.com/p/why-im-qui.... Worth reading. Agree with the cartoonist or not, this is more of the media showing us what they want us to see. #media

Does no one understand that Barkley was chasing a record set in a 16-game season and he would have played 17 games? It certainly hasn't been mentioned much in the narrative that he's "chasing" the rushing record. #Eagles #nfl #media

Just my opinion, but that's just a bad bet.

Trying Threads, why not Bluesky? Anyone out there? Hello? Looking for a Twitter replacement.

My last non-sports blog post was "20 Years of Blogging" at robjquinn.blogspot.com/2024/11/20-y...

Might be done blogging, including sports blogging. Might not.

What's next? Not sure.
20 Years of Blogging
Looking back at 20 years of blogging.
