Roughest part of summer 2026 is getting @bradthor.bsky.social #chokepoint in June…and having to save my performance review till my annual digital detox in July. But promise it’s coming!

I’m truly befuddled by @minakimes.bsky.social and @billbarnwell.com’s take on Chiefs TEs. Wiley was hurt so what do we really know about what he can do? And UDFA John Michael Gyllenborg has an ELITE RAS.

Every time I think about @bradthor.bsky.social’s Scot Harvath being portrayed on screen I get a twinge of sadness - Mark Valley would have been the perfect casting and it just didn’t line up 🥲

Not sure if @bradthor.bsky.social is a Jeopardy man, but thanks to Scot’s love of Funk I knew the $2000 clue about Parliament-Funkadelic & Give Up the Funk 😎

If you’ve read @bradthor.bsky.social’s #BlackIce (or more fun, out now - #ColdZero) you’ll know the context, but it’s a good read to still understand what’s happening. www.ft.com/content/9d72...

I love a good @bradthor.bsky.social media tour. Seeing the excitement of getting to collaborate on #coldzero is really cool. …but man as a Harvathverse lover it just makes me think of the possible expanded universe stories. All the Cold War shenanigans that ole “Peaches” got into…what a thought!

@bradthor.bsky.social - Harvath putting that bounty $$$ to good use I see? www.forbes.com/sites/david-...

@minakimes.bsky.social - did the Chiefs Run D show you something to make you re-think their efficacy or was it more on Indy play calling less runs in the 4Q?

Absolutely love the Cover Art & Title for the next @bradthor.bsky.social! That title felt inevitable for a Scot Harvath novel!

@rachelhandler.bsky.social deserves all the smoke coming at her from Swifties. Asinine CTE jokes aren’t jokes; they’re just cruel reflections of who you are as a person.

Watching @benjaminsolak.bsky.social scream about the Chiefs Run D on @minakimes.bsky.social Pod feels like being Jeff Daniels’ character in The Newsroom — “If the Chiefs D is so GD bad, why do they win all the GD time”

Would have appreciated a less myopic and singular perspective from @cd-cdt.bsky.social’s article on the NP suing to remove collaborative practice agreements. Just because she says there’s no rational public interest doesn’t mean there isn’t one.

I think Chris & Mike on ThrillerPod summed up this #annualreview best: this is the most enjoyable @bradthor.bsky.social book. It is exactly what it says it is, and what you hope it lives up to: a red, white, and blue action thrill ride. Pure adrenaline wrapped in Stars and Stripes. Till next year!

It’s July 1. You know what I did @bradthor.bsky.social (annual performance review to follow at a later date but 25 years of history give me a good feeling 😉) Seriously, thank you for always giving me the best digital detox every summer.

I still wish @ryanclark25.bsky.social didn’t block me on Twitter. I may have hated a take (once specifically in 2022 when you said “Patrick Mahomes is broken”) but I’ve never hated the man.

@foxworthshow.bsky.social clearly is a prisoner of the moment. Chiefs D had lower PPG than Lions, Eagles, and Packers but “they don’t have the talent.” So Justin Reid and Turk Wharton carried the D? McDuffie gone? Chris Jones sitting out again? Bolton wasn’t worth re-signing?

Found out on @jeopardyofficial.bsky.social that @minakimes.bsky.social is a big Friday Night Lights film fan. But how did she feel about Coach Taylor, Saracen, and Riggins?

This reads like a future @bradthor.bsky.social novel plot…

The Bengals giving $70M/yr for 2 WRs…

@minakimes.bsky.social - what are your thoughts on Seahawks releasing Jones and Robertson-Harris? And if you’re the chiefs and Chris Jones is your only DT under contract do you pursue FAs or this years class of DTs?

Who could have seen this coming…🙋‍♂️

@minakimes.bsky.social - you need to help @benjaminsolak.bsky.social with some confidence in his takes. “Which Team will take a step back in 2025? Solak: Chiefs. They were 12-0 in one-score games throughout last season. That won't keep happening! (It'll probably keep happening.)”

Maybe I’m the proverbial sad Chiefs fan but would love @minakimes.bsky.social and @benjaminsolak.bsky.social to put some context on Eagles Dead Cap Hits for an off-season pod. As Dr Strange taught us…

I’m interested in how @minakimes.bsky.social compares/contrasts the earlier season matchup between BUF/KC specifically Omenihu, Jalen Watson, Hollywood Brown; and the questions on Rapp, Milano, and Benford.

@minakimes.bsky.social - never noticed before the portrait of a Sailor(?) on your bookcase - is there a story there you’d be willing to share?

@benjaminsolak.bsky.social’s tears when the Chiefs don’t lose in the Divisional Round (something Patrick has never done) are gonna be so sweet

It’s massively disappointing to see @minakimes.bsky.social Chiefs football analysis drop off - you didn’t even notice Hollywood Brown coming back but talked all about concerns for man beaters and quick releases?!?

@bradthor.bsky.social - have you checked out The Agency on Showtime yet?

🤦‍♂️ didn’t think to look for @tcolicchio.bsky.social here till now…

Coming to @bsky.app and finding @minakimes.bsky.social already here - not surprising and 🤌
