US State Department changes official font in latest anti-diversity move bbc.in/48wl4I3

@JennaLaineESPN By saying “we couldn’t make a fourth down play” he’s more importantly saying “we can’t make a third down play.”

@dryroastedAldo @NFLSTROUD Not to mention the Rams receivers and defenders passing him by on their way to the end zone.

@NFLSTROUD It sure feels like the game has passed Tood Bowles by- it just seems like every time has solved him.

@gregauman Can we just okay a season of nothing but NFC South opponents?

The Masters is the best run tournament in the world. Why? IMO it's because they have a system in place, created years ago, and handed from chairman to chairman, that prevents them from making the same mistake twice. You consistently know what you're going to get...just a little better each year. Europe has this with their Ryder Cup Committee. The US tries to reinvent the wheel every 2 years because of a lack of continuity and no dedicated committee or system. To me, this feels like a tipping point for the Ryder Cup, both from a competitive standpoint and a fan conduct standpoint. Try behaving like we've seen this Ryder Cup week at The Masters and see what that gets you! Finally, if The Masters ran the Ryder Cup, we would at least have fewer commercials!!

We feed our kids way too much crap and there's a lot of obesity. I've even taken it to a new level. I'm not a diabetic, but I wear a glucose monitor. I'm monitoring my glucose between seven and 150 all day long. I don't eat anything that spikes my glucose because it's linked to dementia. When you keep frying your brain with sugar, it's very bad.
Richard Isaacson research, he proved that you can arrest dementia. You can't get back what you lost, but you can arrest it by modifying your diet away from glucose spiking. There's a lot of things I don't eat as a result of that, but it turns out I feel better.

@MartySmithESPN It felt real back then. Not just because the cars looked like real cars, but there was less polish in the machines and the personalities. And that cool Union 76 bearded dude with perfect hair in literally every victory lane.

The race footage in the Amazon Earnhardt doc is so badass. Visually incredible. A symphony of speed. It felt different back then. Grittier.
Maybe because it wasn't so readily available as it is now. Maybe because there was a sense to us that NASCAR gave shine to rural America, authentically Southern, something we kinda knew about all along that the rest of the world was just discovering. Like we were on the leading rough edge of a new frontier.
The personalities and the conflict and the refusal to back down. Rivalries that didn't end with a text message apology. They lasted years. Books with chapters.
There was a mystique about speed back then, too.
We've lost that a bit. We forget drivers are gladiators. It takes a special cat to sail it off into 1 at 200 mph with no guarantee you'll come out of Turn 2.
NASCAR is experiencing a rebirth right now. I watch every race and I feel the resurgence. Awesome racers wrestling a challenging machine. But that footage from the 90s put me in a nostalgic blender.
Those motors at full song. The suspension travel and the body shapes and Goodwrench and DuPont and Quality Care and Kellogg's and MGD and Coors Light, stopped me in my tracks.
It all felt so important. Motorsports Mozart.

@ESPNMcGee The doc is great story telling whether you’re a race fan or not.

@KameronBennett One that plays nothing but teams with 5-foot-6 d-lines.
