Offense can be offered, and offense can be taken. That one takes offense does not mean offense was offered. Taking offense when none is offered is a moral fault. That offense was offered does not mean that one must take offense; turning the other cheek is a virtue.

@dustyslay 1. Radiohead 2. Coldplay 3. Mumford and Sons 4. Motley Crew 5. Nickelback 6. The Lumineers 7. No Doubt 8. Florida Georgia Line 9. Saxon 10. Warrant

How about a top ten list of popular bands that are actually not good?

@bradluttrell 2, 3, 5 and 6 are now in the rotation. I missed ‘em.

No one asked but here’s my top 10 albums so far this year. 1 Timmy Kelly “Meet Me In Nowhere Land” 2 Boy Golden “Best of Our Possible Lives” 3 Telander “This Rules” 4 Fantastic Cat “Cat out of Hell” 5 Colton Bowlin “Grandpa’s Mill” 6 J.D. Graham “Uppers & Downers” 7 Olive Jones “For Mary” 8 The Droptines “Drought Flower” 9 Courtney Marie Andres “Valentine” 10 John Hollier and the Rêverie “Rainmaker” The order is fluid and dependent on my mood.

@Ziggys_Duck Dookie

Who was the most tragic character on The Wire?

@bradluttrell For me it’s Blue Stars by Vincent Neil Emerson.

What’s your favorite album so far this year? Mines probably still the Timmy Skelly album

@bradluttrell This is Vincent Neil Emerson’s best stuff. Can’t wait for the whole record.

What was good? New Charley was my favorite of his last few. The Droptines were great. New Dermot was🔥

@bradluttrell This one surprised me and i’m digging it.

@scottbraddock What are the chances Rehmet casts a vote in the senate?

If the Republican wins tonight: Dog bites man If the Democrat wins: Flip it and reverse it

I generally hate AI, but this “Star Wars” takedown of Jake Tapper and Anderson Cooper is tremendous… 😂

@WerderEdNFL He didn't develop Joe Montana with KC. Montana was at the end of his career.

One of the elements Mike McCarthy provided the Titans and Steelers when he interviewed with them were videos and graphics of his long history of coaching and developing quarterbacks beginning with Joe Montana with the Chiefs under Marty Schottenheimer.

@sickpodsteelers @JYorkFootball @MikedUpSports1 Fuck!

ONE WORD: Use ONE WORD to describe the #Steelers hiring Mike McCarthy as their head coach. #HereWeGo  #thesickpodcast @JYorkFootball @MikedUpSports1

@bradluttrell Like Justin Clyde Williams?

I don’t think there is a better small festival talent booker than Jon Grace. Laurel Cove consistently grabs up and coming talent, sometimes years before the rest of the world finds out about them.

@jacobinfante24 Read that shit to your wife out loud.

BREAKING: #Bears GM Ryan Poles allegedly that his 2025-26 NFL season went for what he is and said to do. He is the first NFL GM the head coach win with a game in the Bears of first playoffs in Chicago. Great news for the 3-time 8-time has been NFL so many times 🔥

@TheLandoShow That's nice but I don't want glitz. I want domination. The angry kind.

Steve Sarkisian already proved on at least 4 accounts he’s willing to make the difficult/uncomfortable decisions with regard to 2026. (Baxter, Wisner, Kwiatkowski, etc) There’s no way the performance m Arch Manning is putting forth right now slows those “all-in” efforts. Whatever they were already willing to do is turned up an extra tick. In other words: the inevitable & un-relenting portal effort to rebuild the offense around him will feed families. Buckle up & lock in with us @InsideTexas 💺

@otokyo__ Mack

Help me out: I need a highly specific, aggressively masculine name for a tiny Chihuahua puppy. Nothing cute. I'm desperate.

@famous_scottwj @RyanLostinTX 👆 This guy knows what's up because he doesn't rely solely on headlines.

@RyanLostinTX Its just you, a million gallons did not all go into the channel. Most of the spill was contained on shore.

I think it’s bad that one million gallons of sulphuric acid leaked into the Houston Ship Channel but maybe that’s just me.

@JVMonte2 Johnny Blue Skies at Red Rocks.

What was the best concert you attended this year?

@TexasEx10 Adonai Mitchell got one today, too!

Lil'Jordan Humphrey!
