I think we all know it’s time to clean house and fire Zac Taylor @Bengals That’s a bad brand of ball, just consistently gives up week in and out. No one is motivated to play for that joker? Give the fans some change and hire @BarstoolGruden

Trump just flew a B-2 stealth bomber over Putin’s head… Absolutely incredible.

BREAKING: Warren Buffet announces he will be stepping down as CEO of Berkshire Hathaway at the end of this year. The end of an era to the greatest of all time.

Walter Clayton Jr. was a 0🌟 recruit. Rick Pitino was one of three DI coaches to offer him while at Iona. Todd Golden brought him home after Pitino left for St. John’s. Now he’s: • An All-American • A National Champion • The MOP • A Future 1st-Rounder UNREAL. 🐊

My advice to foreign leaders is that if you have not already reached out to President @realDonaldTrump, you need to do so immediately. Trump is, at his core, a dealmaker who sees the world as a series of transactions. Based on his track record to date with foreign governments, law firms, and universities, he is a tough, but fair negotiator. He loves to make deals and he loves to get things done promptly. I expect Trump will reward the early dealmakers with fairer deals than those that wait to sit down at the negotiating table. Countries that respond with additional tariffs on our goods will be severely punished. The carrot and the stick writ large, Big Boy style. The Art of the Deal will soon be sold out on @amazon. But if you are running a foreign country that is now subject to massive tariffs, don't wait to read the book. Just pick up the phone. Call the President, and make a deal. Just some advice from a friend of the global economy.

How hard is it to fire an extremely underachieving coach and kicker who got his bag and has the yips now. I thought this was supposed to be a business @Bengals
