@LastComiskey Ah yes, Willi Plett - the only player born in Paraguay to ever play in the NHL. Loved watching him play back in the “goon days”, when every team had a huge meathead like him who could barely skate, but just existed to beat people up.

The border is being secured because @POTUS made a promise and kept it. My job is to ensure the Senate doesn't get in the way. I'm blocking every attempt to defund, delay, or undermine the mission to protect our national sovereignty.

Prediction: the GOP is going to get utterly crushed in the midterms. They will lose the House, and lose it badly. They will lose the Senate, and lose it badly. They will lose Governorships even in places like Ohio, Iowa & Florida. Get ready for the bloodbath.

@RosinskiBill I’m guessing the fact that you started your play by play career before the forward pass was legal had something to do with it. Just retire already - they don’t want an “old man” voice.

The Ravens are looking for a play by play voice. I applied for the position and got this response. I’ve been the voice of 2 NFL teams along with 10 years at ESPN Radio doing college football and 3 stints at Westwood One. The “requirements” line had me laughing. Oh well I tried.

@TXTwinsfan Nah - we’ve always known he’s physically weak, since he never went more than 10 minutes without injuring himself. And now we know he’s mentally weak as well. He’s done.

The dumbest thing Twins could do is give up on Royce Lewis. If there is a 1% chance that they can find this player again, they need to try. He was a revelation. He needs a reset in St. Paul, but to see "fans" wanting to see him gone for good is sickening.

@womenonthemove1 Truism: the ones who shout their titles from the rooftops the most, are always the biggest dunces. My guess is that your scores were significantly lower than every non-DEI student, so no one will care about your fake “degree”.

@getcourtsideapp @dylanbets33789 What is there to “negotiate”? If the odds were incorrect, why did you accept the bet? Bottom line: you accepted the bet, you lost the bet, now pay up! You’re getting $1M in bad publicity by being too cheap to pay off $30k. What a bunch of morons.

⚠️ DO NOT USE @getcourtsideapp After refusing to payout a $31,500 wager their current stance is they have the right to void any bet even after settlement. They are now threatening legal action for my posts made on social media about them not paying out. Their only offer to me was to void all of my bets instead of just paying the winner. @AlexCaruso, who continues to promote courtside, remains silent on the matter.

@peggyflanagan Blah, blah, blah. As long as there’s a 2nd Amendment, (and thank God there is), all of your talk is nothing but meaningless performance theater. If you don’t like it, call a Constitutional Convention to rescind it. Otherwise, shut your pie-hole.

@CrazyVibes_1 I’m so sick of these “he suffered for his art” stories. He was an actor - so he got paid a ton of money to memorize lines that someone else wrote, and speak them. That’s all! But he “lost himself”! F off. Go ‘find yourself’ working in a coal mine or oil rig.

In the middle of the most popular television show in American history, the actor who played its purest heart walked into the producers’ office and said he was done. Not because he was tired. Not because the money wasn’t good enough. Because the role was quietly killing the man playing it. His name was Gary Burghoff. And in 1979, at the absolute peak of M*A*S*H — a show pulling in 30 to 40 million viewers every week — he turned down $4 million (roughly $15 million today), creative control, and fewer episodes just to save himself. Most people would have called it career suicide. Gary called it survival. To understand why he left, you have to understand who he was before Radar O'Reilly ever existed. Gary grew up in Bristol, Connecticut, in the 1940s with a condition called brachydactyly — three fingers on his left hand noticeably smaller than the others. In an era when being visibly different made you a target, he learned early how to hide. He hid his hand in photos. He developed other talents so powerful that people noticed those instead. He became an exceptional drummer. A gifted wildlife painter. And, almost by accident, an actor. At sixteen, recovering from a basketball injury, a drama teacher steered him toward the stage. He auditioned for Take a Giant Step and beat out 450 other kids for the lead. The play opened on Broadway. He won awards. The money helped his mother stop working as a maid. Acting became his refuge — a place where his difference didn’t define him. When Robert Altman cast him as Radar in the 1970 film M*A*S*H, Gary brought something the script never asked for: raw, aching vulnerability. Radar wasn’t just comic relief. He was a scared kid trying to survive war by making himself indispensable. The film became a phenomenon. When CBS turned it into a television series in 1972, Gary was the only actor from the movie kept as a series regular. For the first few seasons, Radar was the wide-eyed Iowa farm boy who slept with a teddy bear and drank grape Nehi. But as M*A*S*H grew darker — confronting the horror of war alongside its humor — Radar changed too. Gary started playing him as someone slowly fracturing under the weight of what he was seeing. The teddy bear became a lifeline. The innocence became armor. He won an Emmy in 1977. Mike Farrell, who played B.J. Hunnicutt, later said Gary might have been the best actor on the show — his ability to find tiny, truthful moments was unmatched. But playing someone so different from himself, month after month, year after year, began to feel like psychological erasure. Gary wasn’t naïve or meek. He was serious, introspective, sometimes difficult because he cared so deeply about emotional honesty. Living in Radar’s skin for eight months a year started to make him forget what his own skin felt like. His marriage was falling apart under the pressure of fame and endless work. He barely saw his daughter. Fans everywhere called him “Radar” and expected the sweet, innocent character instead of the complicated man he actually was. By Season 7, something inside him broke. When his contract ended in 1979, the producers offered him a fortune to stay. Gary said no. He told them family had become the most important thing in his life, and he wasn’t available as a father anymore. But the deeper truth was simpler and sadder: he was disappearing. His final episodes, “Goodbye, Radar,” aired in two parts. He played them with such raw honesty that cast members were crying on camera for real. Fans wrote letters begging him to return. He didn’t. Leaving at the absolute peak devastated his career. He was so identified with Radar that casting directors couldn’t see him as anything else. The few roles that came were pale versions of the same gentle character. A planned spinoff never took off. Some of his co-stars — Alan Alda, Mike Farrell — thrived afterward. Gary largely stepped away from Hollywood. Many assumed he had failed. That walking away had been a terrible mistake. But Gary never defined success by fame or money. He moved back east, remarried, focused on his first love: wildlife art. He painted detailed animal portraits. He played drums with small groups. He spent real time with his children. He lived quietly and intentionally. In rare interviews years later, he was asked if he regretted leaving M*A*S*H. His answer never wavered: “I regret that I couldn’t find a way to stay without losing myself. But I don’t regret choosing to survive.” In an industry that worships visibility, Gary Burghoff did something almost unthinkable: he chose obscurity over fame. Peace over fortune. His own identity over a role that threatened to consume it. He understood something most people chasing success never learn: success that costs you yourself isn’t success. It’s slow erasure. Today, at 82, Gary lives a quiet life far from the spotlight. He rarely attends reunions. He doesn’t cash in on nostalgia. When fans meet him at the occasional convention, they’re often surprised by how different he is from Radar — more serious, more layered, more himself. And that might be the most beautiful part of his story. By leaving Radar behind, Gary fulfilled the deepest lesson the character ever taught: that gentleness in brutal environments is strength, not weakness. That holding onto your essential self is the ultimate act of courage. Radar survived war by clinging to his innocence. Gary survived fame by doing the same. The teddy-bear-clutching clerk showed millions that kindness matters. The actor who played him showed something even rarer: that knowing when to walk away — even when the whole world is begging you to stay — can be the bravest choice of all. In a culture obsessed with staying relevant at any cost, Gary Burghoff chose to remember who he was before anyone was watching. And in doing so, he gave the rest of us permission to do the same.

@BettyMcCollum04 Sorry, Betty, but I think you have your dates wrong: Somalia became a country on *JULY 1* (1960), not May 11. There’s still 7+ weeks to go for those of us living in Minnesomalia to mark the anniversary.

@MayorFrey Hmm . . . let’s see: I’d save 10 bucks on parking in Uptown, although there’s nothing there to do, since everything’s boarded up. And then I’d have to pay the $500 deductible when my car windows get smashed . . . so that’s a “no” from me, soy-boy.
