I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.
Offensive line is one of the best in the league? Bruce, you need to get your eyes checked.
Baker needs to stop extending plays and throw it, agreed. But the OL is doing him no favors and got demolished by the Vikings yesterday. It starts with Baker but extends to all.
Bruce Arians on Baker Mayfield during his appearance on @UpAndAdamsShow on what he sees watching the Bucs QB. “Not making the plays that were there,” Arians said. “The offensive line is one of the best in the league and he’s got to quit doing this. You know? Just throw the damn ball away. That’s not his nature, I know. But this is how he always get hurt. I haven’t had the conversation with him personally, but we need you on that field.

Remarkable statistic:
Prior to Western Michigan, college football teams were 110,352 - 0 when leading after the end of regulation, dating back to 1869.

After 11 years as a sports columnist at the Seattle Times, I have decided to resign. It was entirely my choice, and it was not an easy one. The impetus was the Times declining to run a column I wrote from the perspective of two female student athletes who were opposed to competing against biological males. It was one of several pieces of mine that had been spiked, and I no longer felt like I could properly do my job as a columnist. I lay out the situation in greater detail in the link below, but I want to say that I enjoyed my time with the paper, find the talent there to be immense, and have no animosity toward anyone who works there. It was just time for a change.

"ESPN personality Pat McAfee released an album of original music on Friday. Critics say if the album is played backwards, the listener could hear hidden demonic messages. More worrying still, if the album is played forward, the listener could hear original music by Pat McAfee."
Just a reminder on what happened last night:
1. Koo missed twice on the same FG attempt (after a dumb as always Bucs flag)
2. We blocked the game-tying kick
3. We picked off (maybe a mistake) Kirk on a critical 4th down
All of that and...we lost! Those losses don't go away.

The two Bucs games I've been most infuriated at in the last few years:
1. Last night
2. The 2021 divisional game against the Rams
Both of those were on Todd Bowles.

The University of Florida over the last 7 days:
1. Named a “new Ivy” by Forbes.
2. Became a nation-wide model for successfully handling protests while safe-guarding 1A rights.
3. May be on the verge of taking down the most lethal form of brain cancer.
Have a week, Gators. 🐊

I'm hearing Spencer Rattler is very much in play for Atlanta with the 43rd overall pick tonight as the team plans for the post-Penix era.
