There’s a colloquial French way of saying “zero fucks given” that translates to “I’m painting my balls with the brush of indifference.” A Finnish version is “it interests me as much as a kilogram of shit.” But my favourite is from old Greek slang and it goes “flowers on my dick and bees all around.”

1. Washington source says “absolutely not” about changing the name back to the Redskins. It’s not even a discussion.
2. The Broncos are not interested in bringing Fant back.

Fantastic thread:
Let's talk about these two department store owners: brother and sister Louis Bamberger and Caroline Bamberger Fuld. From Newark, New Jersey.
