@politico well this seems perfectly reasonable...

US to take over Strait of Hormuz, charge 20 percent fee for cargo shipped through, Trump says dlvr.it/TTWFjs

@ArifHasanNFL Thats a deep pull, and I appreciate it more than you can know.

setting up for a killer falkland rivalvry game

@cptdankkk "worked out."

Kirk Cousins says Joe Flacco was the blueprint behind the NFL contract strategy that has earned him $339,000,000 in guaranteed money “I remember sitting at the Super Bowl after my rookie year and Joe Flacco was about to be a free agent. He was also the quarterback in the Super Bowl, and we sat there. I knew nothing about contracts and my agent said what the Ravens are going to be able to do is either sign him to a long-term deal or they're going to have to franchise tag him twice. The entire negotiation will be based off two franchise tags and what those two franchise tags are worth. That's what they'll have to negotiate off of’” “I didn't know four years later I'd be in a similar spot where I'd finish my season, be coming to free agency, and my agent just said, ‘This is Joe Flacco all over again. It's a two-year franchise tag that'll be the foundation of any negotiation.’ He said, ‘What I'd like to do is, because I see those two years being basically guaranteed, I'd like to just do a three-year deal fully guaranteed’” “He offered that to the team, and obviously they were not interested in that model. He just said, ‘Okay, then we'll do the two franchise tags, and two years from now, we'll go to free agency and try to get that same deal, a three-year deal fully guaranteed’” “I think I was in a great spot because I had great players around me, great coaches around me, and was in a place where I felt I could have success. I didn't feel like I needed to just take a deal. I think sometimes as a player you take a deal because you're concerned about maybe your play going down. I thought, ‘No, I think I'm going to keep improving, and I've got great people around me.’ So I'm okay going year to year. Certainly it worked out”

@MatthewColler @herhoopstats I read it whenever I gave the chance!

@robkong406 Maybe someday lol. But I already write for @herhoopstats about the WNBA so I wouldn't need anyone to correct me :)

I think a lot of folks underrated how good Natasha Howard is. She’s been DPOY, first-team all-WNBA, 2x All-Star, played a huge role in Seattle’s championship and was importantly for Indiana in the playoffs last year

@MatthewColler She is a really, really good coach. It’s so interesting to me that the WNBA has such impressive coaches, but then others who I wouldn’t want coaching my kids’ team…

Cheryl Reeve just doing her usual thing of out-coaching folks. Fantastic job down the stretch getting Miles into PnR and taking advantage of their advantage in speed vs Dallas front court

@Omaha_Jay @CFBPOexpert @ScottDochterman He has successfully leveraged his beef with Scott to bring that number up to 187!

@CFBPOexpert @ScottDochterman Scott, you deserve better than to have to battle this visionary and his 185 followers.

Sure pal. You’re a visionary. Tell it to the judge.

@MatthewColler The great part is being a relatively new fan of a sport or a league is that you get to learn so much! Everything is new! It’s the best, and I can’t imagine ruining that experience by acting like such a douche bag.

It’s a long offseason so I forgot how much it sucks that WNBA noobs decide that their loud, ignorant takes are too important to listen to actual experts in the space who have been there a long time. Great stuff. Welcome back, W.

@Yfz84 Gayle Sayers was up there

Outside of Barry Sanders was there a better pure runner in the history of the NFL?

@rodgers_isaiah @thorku Yes, yes we would!!

Lets do it . Im sure Vikings fans would love this

@ArifHasanNFL yeah maybe focus on not being shitty instead of focusing on hiding how shitty your franchise is...

lmao

@thorku A D for Dunker is preposterous.

I fixed the Vikings.

@MatthewColler @unifics @MatthewColler rules.

@unifics I got you my man. What’s your Venmo or pay pal or Cash App ?

@MatthewColler @FarhanLaljiTSN If only shots on goal determined who won 🤷‍♂️ 🥇

@FarhanLaljiTSN some states sell out hockey arenas every night here in the states, my friend :)

So one team dominates, gets goalied & loses in a gimmick. 35 million devastated & hand-wringing for the next 4 years. The other team celebrates & in 24 hours its fans will forget about it for the next 4 years and get back to the sports that actually matter to them 🤷🏽‍♂️

@thorku @FBallAnalysisYT I can 100% put off dying until 2030. I’ll probably die in January…

@FBallAnalysisYT God I can’t wait for 2030

Chat GPT’d the next 10 years of the Minnesota Vikings and the JJ McCarthy era one year ago and it’s exactly right so far 👀

@SaraLRiley @ScottDochterman Yeah probably, but my memory is hazy and a lot of those years are a blur…

@robkong406 @ScottDochterman Before she was born.

I can't remember the last "negative" Iowa State story I've commented about. Please enlighten me. How is suggesting ISU consider women's wrestling "negative?"

@spooked75 I honestly wondered if I was alone in feeling like this…

I grew up Republican. Still am in many ways. But MAGA pushed the party so far right that I get called a liberal now. Let me explain the difference: Traditional Republicans believe in: • Fiscal responsibility (balanced budgets, not exploding deficits for tax cuts) • Limited government (actual small government, not big government that punishes your enemies) • Strong institutions (courts, elections, constitutional norms matter) • Personal responsibility (your actions have consequences) • Free markets (not tariffs and trade wars) • Strong alliances (NATO, international partnerships) • Rule of law (no one is above it, including the president) MAGA Republicans believe in: • Whatever Trump says today (even if it contradicts yesterday) • Loyalty tests (agree 100% or you're a traitor/RINO) • Conspiracy theories over facts (stolen election, deep state, QAnon adjacent stuff) • Grievance politics (owning the libs > actual policy) • Personality cult (Trump loyalty above party, above country, above truth) • Performative outrage (culture war theater instead of governance) • Ends justify means (storm the Capitol, ignore election results, whatever it takes) I didn't move left. The party moved off a cliff. I still believe in conservative principles. But when you say "maybe we should respect election results" or "fiscal responsibility matters" or "rule of law applies to everyone," you get called a liberal. That's not conservatism. That's a cult.

@PhilMackey we can throw in JJ McCarthy and Jonathon Greenard for good measure.

@PhilMackey Every single draft pick for the next billion years and the Twins.

Wolves fans, send me your trade simulator ideas...
