Ortiz was absolutely loving this sitting between AROD and Jeter

The offense is successful except for the turnovers, which only count against them as a failed play — the same as rushing for one yard.

perhaps a turnover ought to count as minus one explosive

Fairbanksan Bill Torgerson keeps his spirits up through the winter by making bigger and wilder balloon art creations — like a 13-foot Godzilla costume and a giant replica of the Eiffel Tower.

This Alaskan has a unique antidote to his winter blues: extreme balloon art

His magnum opus is an almost 13-foot-tall Godzilla costume made of balloons that covers his whole body.

A lesson one learns over and over again in defense procurement is that facts are usually fitted to service and policy preferences. The USAF wanted a new, blue ICBM so new silos are too expensive for the Trident D5, but a cost- and time-saver for Sentinel.

I am old enough to remember when very serious people™️ said we couldn't save money by putting the D5 in silos because it would require expensive new silos and other infrastructure.

Pretty wild to think that having a gun means someone’s “not a wimp.”

When a linebacker is blitzing through the A gap with a butcher knife and a hard-on, I figure he isn't out collecting for the Red Cross.

Callahan: Wait a minute. Do I get this right? You're gonna play this creep's game?
Mayor: It'll get us more breathing space.
Callahan: It also might get somebody killed. Why don't you let me call plays for the son-of-a-bitch?

Wesley Brooks @wes-brooks.bsky.social · 15d

I know what you're thinking: "Did he call six runs or only five?" Well, to tell you the truth, in all this excitement, I've kinda lost track myself. But being this is the Tennessee Titans, you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, punk?

Wesley Brooks @wes-brooks.bsky.social · 15d

Well, you can just get yourself another play caller.

Wesley Brooks @wes-brooks.bsky.social · 15d

What the playcalling duties of that little girl?!
