When the illusion finally shatters, what remains isn't disappointment,it's humiliation.
The man you poured your faith into was never a visionary, never a savior, never even remotely exceptional.
He was a hollow fraud wrapped in ego, fueled by noise, and sustained by endless self-promotion.
Every boast, every grand promise, every display of swagger crumbles the instant reality enters the room.
What looked like confidence was arrogance.
What looked like strength was insecurity.
What looked like leadership was little more than a carefully marketed illusion.
Scratch beneath the surface and there's no hidden brilliance, no master strategist, no misunderstood genius. Just an impulsive, self-absorbed figure stumbling from one failure to the next, desperately trying to drown incompetence in a torrent of bluster and spectacle.
In the end, the strongman image collapses into exactly what it always was: cheap theater.
A gaudy performance.
A caricature masquerading as leadership.
A salesman peddling an image he could never live up to.
And the hardest part isn't watching the act fall apart.
It's realizing how long you applauded it, defended it, and mistook obvious bullshit for substance.....

Hey Indiana, you’re not allowed to have success in basketball and football at the same time.
Sorry about the small print

This is what we mean around these parts when we say #Hockeytown with pride.
Monthly #subscriptions are in my crosshairs.
@nytimes taught me a lot over the years.
Including what unchecked price creep looks like.
$4 → $28 since 2020.
Lesson learned. Cancelled.

The Buckeye mind must be studied by psychologists.
When OSU cancels a game due to Covid:
“The Big Ten protocols must be followed.”
When Michigan cancels a game due to Covid:
“They’re ducking us.”
When OSU pays players:
“Empty the clip! BIA!!”
When Michigan pays players:
“He didn’t even want to go to your school.”
When an OSU player misses a game:
“He needs to get healthy.”
When a Michigan player misses a game:
“He’s ducking.”
When OSU wins:
“We’re the better team.”
When Michigan wins: “It was snowing”, “We had the flu”, “It was only 5 big plays”, “They cheated”
Michigan already with lots of helmet stickers. Except the kicker.
It’s 13-3

Imagine being a good high school WR and considering your offer from Iowa
Their long snapper assuredly gets a better locker
