When are #NFL players going to start telling the truth when they introduce themselves at the beginning of a football game? Tyreek Hill: "Garden City Community College, Oklahoma State, West Alabama" Gardner Minshew: "Troy, East Mississippi Community College, East Carolina, Washington State"

Kyler Murray is not the answer. JJ McCarthy is not the answer. Can I please see more Carson Wentz? #Vikings

Just a horrible call against the Vikings defense. Not targeting, just a hard hit. You can no longer have a hard hit in the NFL.

More evidence that sports gambling will bankrupt an entire society. 9% of the bettors thought that the Vikings would win the game against the Bears today. 3% thought the Saints would win. And although it's not over yet, 3% thought the Browns (up by 5 in delay) would beat the Bucs. #BookiesWin

Yesterday I sat at MSP and watched about 300 pairs of shoes walk by. Then making a connection in Charlotte I watched another 150 to 200 pairs walk by. Out of all of that, there's maybe four or five shoes that I saw that I would be willing to wear. Most of them are butt ugly, and look uncomfortable

watching a "football game" for 90 minutes that ends with a 0-0 score is exactly why this sport will never take over the USA. Hardcore fans love it, but casual fans think it's dum(b)

I was enjoying a Friday happy hour in my local brewery. It is a dog friendly and kid-friendly place. The dogs tend to be awesome, but the kids not so much. And I like kids, as long as they are fairly well behaved, with parents who pay some attention to how annoying they can be. Not the case today

Happy birthday to Joe Biden. A decent guy who didn't arrest peaceful protesters, didn't murder boaters in the Caribbean, didn't normalize the Saudi butcher, didn't kick Americans off health insurance, and didn't regularly fly to Epstein Island (AFAIK). His biggest sin was not knowing when to quit.
