Please do not vote for any candidate who supports legalizing pot. Having lived in Colorado, I learned of health, social, and economic reasons why legalization isn't the magic budget fixer some people claim. There's a reason it has long been classified as a controlled substance.

I'm not asking that you vote for anyone; I'm simply asking that you pause to consider the ongoing effects of legalization and how much money it will cost the state to regulate it, how healthcare services will be affected, and how families will be changed by drug abuse.

Proud of our Hawks tonight. Did I want us to win? Of course. But, we faced a strong team, and it deserved to win over 40 minutes. Reaching the Elite Eight in a rebuilding/transition year is impressive.

The pride of Johnston, Iowa! I like seeing a central Iowan win it all!

Does @TheAthletic know something we don't in declaring a World Series winner on Friday night after Game 6?

How do you build a legacy? You work hard. You push your limits. You realize that last year's banner won't win you anything. You work together. It takes a team to build a legacy. Congratulations, @Gilbert_XC!
The 3-Peat Is Complete! Class 3A State Champions. Congratulations, boys. Great team, even better people. Proud of you. #GilbertPride #TigersTogether

It's hard to "row" with consistently broken oars. Minnesota people can hate us all they want; we'll continue beating the Gophers and keep Floyd. Go Hawks!

Ken Dryden is an all-time hockey legend. Yet, there was much more to the man than a HHOF career that included winning/tying 85% of his games played & 6 Stanley Cups. His 1st book, The Game, remains my favorite--aside from the Bible--of any book I've read. tsn.ca/nhl/video/dryden-left…

For perspective on Dryden's dominance, Martin Brodeur and Dominik Hasek each won/tied 68% of their games played. Patrick Roy was at 67%. Imagine entering a game knowing you have just a 15% chance of losing, because of your netminder's excellence...

Replying to @TwinsAlmanac
@TwinsAlmanac @MNTwinsZealot Minnesota Twins management: so checked out that it made a tired, bland, retread slogan previously used by UW-Oshkosh, U. Guelph, the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, a random high school, and others this year's season tagline...

However, this is only the second-worst (or third, if I give "This is How We Baseball" its proper revulsion) season slogan that I recall. The Royals once had the terribly uninspiring "It's Here" as theirs. Even as a kid, I knew that one was pathetic. royalsreview.com/2015/2/6/79…

Awesome. His Eagles teammate, rookie Cooper DeJean, ran 10.71, 21.92 and jumped 24-2 at OABCIG HS in Iowa.
🦅 Before he was headed to his first Super Bowl, Saquon Barkley was a track and field standout at Whitehall HS in Pennsylvania. He only competed in Track and Field during his senior year. Despite that, he ran a 10.90 100m, long jumped 22-2.5 and threw a shot put 46-2.5. 📊 Stats powered by MileSplit 📸 KNL Pix | PA MileSplit
