Look, I love my country. I wish we had strong competent leadership in charge. But that’s just not in the cards right now. The damage is sustained and deepening under Trump. The moral and economic rot settling in as the norm. Change is badly needed, and damn fast..

The Chiefs played a very good football game on the road for three quarters.
Today was the best the offense has looked against a quality defense. If Moore just holds firm, we’re talking 31 points in Denver. Have to try to see some good things despite the Andy Reid special.

Putting aside bitter disappointment, Mahomes was brilliant. Did it again at the end, only for a dubious flag to wipe out the winning TD. Never gets old though. The rookies made plays. Emmitt was the best player on the field. 5-2 w/Jets, Falcons, and Cardinals ahead. We’ll be fine. But boy, this one stings..

Don’t blame Harrison Butker (though I suspect he’s taken his last kick in Kansas City). Blame the guys who sent him out there to try a kick everybody in Kansas City knew he was never going to make. It was just a matter of time..

The Chiefs got what they deserved. That was the most screwed up quarter of the Reid era in Kansas City. Fire away. They deserve it..

Win or lose, the Chiefs have really screwed up this 4th quarter good, and the criticism will be completely valid. How foolish to trust Butker in that situation..

I like the way this is trending in Denver. Only penalties are keeping the Broncos alive. Mahomes looks sharp, the line is holding up, Walker hasn’t really got going yet. A lot of upside still. Biggest half of the season coming up..

Please VOTE--It's going to take everyone!
48 hours before Election Day, Democrats have a firm grasp on the House, flipping anywhere between 15-40 seats. Democrats lead in Senate polling to flip 5-6 seats, an astonishing number on a red friendly map. Get out and vote. Bring a friend, or two, or three. Make the extra effort to leave nothing on the table. That may never be more important than this particular Tuesday..

Alaskan officials from both sides of the aisle are rallying around Mary Peltola against the blatant federal interference in their elections. Even Dan Sullivan now says this morning he will accept the results Tuesday win or lose. We can all learn lessons from the courageous Alaskan people..

Instead of a smart, sensible ‘I’m angry too’ message to fit this cycle, Republicans foolishly chose to go the trans/socialist road that nobody cares about and fewer even thinks about and nobody bases their vote on. Looking and sounding out of touch about voters concerns, or even worse - total denial of those concerns - is what loses elections.

Big 12 replay officials AGAIN saying they errored and botched the rules to gift BYU a TD in a 27-20 win over Arizona State. What’s going on here? The Irish were flat denied a legal final play in Provo by the Big 12. Now this. It’s not that hard. So what’s the deal?

There are now 642k Texans who have early voted who did not vote at all in the 2024 Presidential election. 48% of them (310,997) are Hispanic. And 39% (122,461) of those Hispanic surge voters are under the age of 30.

Awfully mediocre half for Mizzou. They look flat as hell out there - inexcusable after the 31-3 ass kicking in Oxford before the bye. Don’t know what to think about this offense. Sometimes Simmons looks very uncertain throwing past 7-8 yards. 4.2 ypc. Vanilla play calling in the rain. Just, blah..

Best thing to say about this one is we’re not doing very much and they’re doing even less

Major blunder in Maine blowing up tonight after Susan Collins inexplicably released an ad Thursday ridiculing loggers. One logging association has already pulled their endorsement, with others expected to follow. Jackson claiming it shows just how out of touch Collins has become after 30 years in DC..

Making fun of loggers in Maine doesn’t seem real bright 60 hours before voters go to vote..
Maine and everywhere: Tell these stuck-up crooks that yes, this government is OURS! Cord of wood, rock salt…. All while she’s lining her pockets with bribes! #BlueWaveIn3Days
