The fact that this had me in tears from laughing pretty much reveals my maturity level still gets stuck in 5th grade sometimes.

I mean C'MON. If you are shit talking the halftime show, you are so removed from reality. Look at this. After what America has been going through. And you get this message.

Imagine being so petty and bigoted that that show caused you an ounce of consternation

Two years ago, Taylor Swift sang that Charlie Puth should be a bigger artist . tonight? He’s singing the national anthem at the Super Bowl. She really does take all her friends to the summit.

The normalization of Trump will be studied by historians. How did this happen? Who contributed to it? This tragic episode in our history will be compared to McCarthyism or the rise of American fascists in 30s. For those still excusing him, maybe now is a good time to get on the right side of history

From @kim on the bad place

America is the immigrant. America is the protestor. America is the huddled masses yearning to be free. Alex Pretti is America. Renee Good is America. Liam Ramos is America. In this moment of crisis, America needs patriots now more than ever.

This is bullshit

This is incredible. So powerful. The ICE OUT NOW chant at the end felt like instant history

Bruce Springsteen performs ‘Streets of Minneapolis’ for the first time in Minnesota at First Avenue 🎶 🎥: @chrisrstrib.bsky.social

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

They're lying!

One thing I found deeply moving about resistance in the Twin Cities was the universalism of loving your neighbor, the philosophy driving the opposition to the ICE/BP invasion. I couldn't help but notice the contrast with the blood and soil-ism of Miller and Vance. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

You're going to tell their employers, their neighbors and their schools that they were out on the streets bravely defending their community from the masked goons who are murdering and terrorizing people? Are you going to send them flowers and candy as well?

“Trump campaigned on terrorizing immigrants and restricting trade. Release the clutch on your pearls, this is precisely what America bargained for, and Iowa in particular. Sixty percent say they think he has gone too far. Just where did you think he was going?”

This battle of goodness, kindness, and empathy over evil is not over. And also...I believe the people of Minnesota will go down in future American history books as defenders of liberty, who stood up to the tyranny of government, knowing they could lose it all..but still stood up in the face of it.

Prince knew Minnesota would be key to The Revolution.

Iowa women have 8 wins over Top 32 ranked teams in herhoopstats.com, similar to KenPom. 1o of their 20 games have been against teams currently in the Top 32. Still play teams currently ranked 2nd, 7th, 21st, 24th, 25th and 33rd. And their youngest team for over a decade, with Addy starting to Deal

@mamahawk.bsky.social you ever play quartiles on apple puzzles? I think you’d like it.

Indiana winning the college football national championship has to be like the undiscovered 8th seal of doom

What a fucking call and play. Holy shit

“They are letting them play” is code for The Refs Suck

Green Day joining the Super Bowl halftime show definitely helped brighten my day.

I’ve never had a favorite team have a season like what the Bears had. Shit, has anyone? Sucks for Bears (and football) fans that run was over. But my god that was a lifetime of holy shit moments in one season the likes I’ve never seen.

The cold coming to the Midwest, Great Lakes, Ohio Valley, and Northeast over the next 10 days could be historic.

This is a surgical ass kicking in Bloomington and damn, you love to see it

I don't want this to sound like I am discrediting Stirtz, but I also think that many elements of his game that make McCollum's offense click, like the pick and roll action off high screens, I think those can be taught.

Just watched Song Sung Blue. I thought I was in for a fun time. I had no idea this was like a Def Leppard documentary on steroids

As Trump ramps up his cruel deportation machine, it's more important than ever to know your rights if ICE comes to your door. Spread the word.

That had to feel like an exorcism to Bears fans

You don’t say… www.forbes.com/sites/sarado...

Think of how much you gotta overpay to get a WR to come to Iowa over…most any P4 program. And how when teammates find out they be like bro you got six figures to run wind sprints and I am asked to control two gaps ever play?

Here is a gofundme for Renee Good's family. They have raised over $750K. This is a horrific tragedy...and also, over 20K people have donated. www.gofundme.com/f/support-fo...

I had an interesting and beautiful thing happen last night while waiting in a LOOONG line at the pharmacy. It brought me some hope, so I will share that story with you, hoping it can bring some of the same to you. sign-of-the-times.ghost.io/the-line/

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."

No matter what the #Royals do the rest of the winter (and I don't think they're done), the best version of them means Jac Caglianone is producing. I looked at his two biggest issues, chase and grounders, today on Inside the Crown.

Watching a game that Sean McDonough calls is freaking exhausting, and not in a good way.

For me, Stranger Things finale gave me about everything I could have hoped for. And for us ‘89ers, and people who were teens in the 80s, this was our The Big Chill. But better, because every generation could enjoy Stranger Things. Powerful symbolism at the end, too. Chef’s kiss!!!!

The #Royals system is improving. Some like it more than others, but the top end talent is getting better and it continues to have some solid depth. Today I ranked the top 25 in the system. There are some very interesting names all the way through.

Update

I've had worse days.

Hlas Out of Bounds: There are 8 bowl games today, which is 25 fewer than I covered. I prefer to focus on the strange rather the mundane, and there was plenty of both. substack.com/home/post/p-...

St Joe, you had a good run hosting the Chiefs training camp. But that likely comes to an end when KC builds it's mixed use facility in Olathe.

So long, Camarohead Stadium
