"They decided that Tyler Loop was made of the right stuff." That's right, Mike Tirico. Tyler Loop was made of the WIDE right stuff!

"The ruling on the field is a touchdown" is one of the most sinister things I've ever heard on television.

Texas launches plan to open Rob ReinerUSA chapters in every high school

Happy Birthday Little Richard!

have you ever heard anyone described as having a wet whit?

Roman Wilson owes JBP a really nice dinner. #Steelers

It's been two weeks since Adelita Grijalva was elected and Mike Johnson has still refused to seat her, unlike in past cases where he swore in new members within 24 hours. There cannot be one set of rules for Rs and another for Ds. Also, release the damn Epstein files already.

I'm about two Helena Moreno YouTube ads away from not voting for her. (apologies to those of you not in New Orleans)

In ABC's defense, Jimmy Kimmel should have said something much less offensive during his monologue, such as advocating that we kill homeless people.

Again, the cowardice is stunning

This president really needs to do something about this Right on Right crime.

So the HBCU that raised me is on lockdown because some right winger thinks that's how they get retribution for Charlie Kirk, whose killer is unknown? The automatic response is to kill Black people, who likely have NOTHING to do with his murder. And I'm supposed to empathize with this?

Address to the nation but he said jack about the Minnesota killings. Trump can fuck off.

Did any of them cry for Melissa Hortman?

In light of this Charlie Kirk news, it's obviously too soon to say anything about gun violence in the United States. So instead, this is an opportunity to state that the president raped girls and congress is complicit in the cover up.

We may have entered the “silence those who might talk” phase. Buckle up.

The comments are delicious.

It feels like we can't escape customer survey requests at all anymore. Anything you buy (including haircuts!) comes with a survey request. Emails, texts, and today I even got a phone call from a hotel brand asking me to answer questions. I hate you all.

Just catching up on that story about the CEO at the Coldplay concert. Should I ask his soon to be ex-wife out to see Fishbone at House of Blues next month?

People out there just saying any old thing now. Now we get to watch congress get all lathered up for the microphones and then do nothing.

This is so amazing. How stupid and unprepared do you have to be to sit for an interview with a total clown and known Russian actor and still fail so miserably? Texas put this dipshit in office until 2031???? We are so doomed.

Song I would write were I a songwriter: answer song to Papa Was A Rolling Stone, from the perspective of the Papa.

I'm gonna need Dameshek to help get me through this football season like never before.

I am a life-long Steelers fan. I will not be taking questions. Please respect my privacy during this difficult time.

If I happened to be an owner/operator of a movie theater in New Orleans, I would have already organized a screening of DOWN BY LAW. The fact that nobody seems to have done this in the last week is disappointing.

This is a funny anecdote, not a complaint: I got take out from my go-to BBQ spot and I'm laughing at how stoned someone must have been doing prep work today. I ordered slaw as one of my sides (my mistake, honestly. I grew up on Eastern NC Q, and their slaw is superior to everyone else's).

A story that starts out sounding like entertainment chisme and ends feeling more like an allegory of the 2025 American experience.

Anti-woke.

It's world password day. What's yours?

Now that Sanders is a Brown, he realistically has to hope he gets cut, right? The Browns have FIVE QBs including 2025 3rd and 5th round picks - or did Trump have a "perfect phone call" with Jimmy Haslam? What an embarrassment of an organization.

Vote DICK SOLOMON for Pope.

Someday my kids will ask me how we got and I will say an absolute cascade of fuck ups

Remember - the billionaires will remain comfortable and probably gain wealth. Small businesses? Well the decision makers just don't care what happens to them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=__PT...

I am officially declaring that it’s good luck when you find a spider in your bag of lettuce. It’s even better luck when you successfully get the spider outside alive.

I haven't been talking about this publicly as I didn't want to count my chickens before they're hatched, but it's time to announce the publication of my first book "Sweep Around Your Own Door: The long and untold history of Gospel music diss tracks"

Whelp, I guess my productivity, as predicted yesterday, won’t take much of a hit after all.

RIP my productivity the next couple of days.

Running, New Orleans breweries, no need to actually go fast. Sign up for the Legs n Dregs Brewery Marathon (or Half Marathon) today. Na zdrowie!

The very least -- and I mean the VERY least -- these people can do is "don't make it wast for Trump." And apparently they can't even do that.

The Mason Rudolph reunion nobody wanted.

Cancer benefit auction: An old college friend and colleague while we worked at Papa Jazz Record Shoppe, James Wallace, is in the process of beating cancer. I am auctioning a tape of one of his old bands, The Filter Kings, to help raise funds for his medical expenses. www.ebay.com/itm/15678221...

One of my favorite things about Roy Ayers also involves another of my favorite musicians, Fela Kuti. www.theguardian.com/music/2024/a...

All of his Atlantic LPs are overlooked, imo.

Back in 2021, I recorded this (Almost) Mardi Gras mix. I just dusted it off for anyone out there who needs a healthy fix of New Orleans music tonight and tomorrow. Loads of good, semi-obscure jams to get a party going. Happy Mardi Gras, everyone! www.mixcloud.com/agent45/almo...

RIP Angie Stone. Among so many good records, thank you especially for leaving us with this one.

I don’t know what news outlet is reporting that “illegals” are to blame for the TX measles outbreak (I can guess) but I have seen two different people make this argument on FB today. So far, I have not seen anything convincing me that the Mennonites are “illegal” www.statesman.com/story/news/s...

A statement I must make:

Repost with the first album you bought with your own money (On cassette from Record Bar and also bought a Musical Youth 7” at the same time)
