@jdjmke @Maxwelllov3 Caro is a innovative journalist who did re-write the LBJ childhood to better match the facts. But he doesn't read history widely enough to notice when others have done similar work. His take on Ike and the 1957 Civil Rights bill reflects this general ignorance beyond his topic.

@jdjmke @Maxwelllov3 He makes that claim - that it's about their views - in his bibliographic intro to that chapter's footnotes, but then within the main text itself he regurgitates the "corruption of the carptetbaggers" and other such nonsense refuted by DuBois in the 30s and many others since.

@jdjmke @Maxwelllov3 If he can't get the 1860s even mildly correct why should we trust him about the 1960s?

@jdjmke @Maxwelllov3 Caro has clearly read the whole book, given how often he cites it, and so he knows it's openly racist. It's just odd that he would start this heroic arc whose climax will be the Civil Rights bill of '64 with that as his only source, (it is true that the Foner wasn't out til '88)

@JuMosq @JPeanasky Confused in coverage but he seemed to know where run plays were going and how to stop them. Was he really that bad?

@JPeanasky Really the only pick I was bitchy about on draft day this year

Pelosi on a basic principle of politics that we've hammered here for years. You must be prepared as possible. More than anyone else. But the goal of preparation is not deliberation. You often don't have the luxury. When you go, go like hell and don't look back.

Today on the radio I asked Professor Thomas J. Rowland if the current political vitriol is unusual in American history, and he answered with a concise summary of the long 19th century... lingering especially on the elections of 1856, 1860, and 1864. civicmedia.us/shows/maggie-d…

@UmpScorecards Based on the ump adjusted zone you show here the 5th pitch to Freeman in 8th was clearly a strike. Why is that not listed as a missed call? Please double check.

@q_spice @UmpScorecards We need someone to score the scorecard!

@UmpScorecards Not putting the 2 out 1-2, ball 2 call that led to 3 RBIs on here is certainly a choice Well within the EUZ and was touching the true zone But hey: guess y’all miss some every once in a while too, huh?

@Nate_Tice A Vikings Legend

picked off Favre four times in a playoff win at Lambeau, cherishing that memory to the grave.

@ReviewngTheBrew Runners were on 2nd and 3rd

Another pickoff attempt thrown into centerfield. Runners at the corners now for Freddy

@NFLHitman33 After 2012, 2013, 2019, and 2021 that dish is getting so cold it's cracked

The revenge tour is going to be must-see TV… I know some of y’all still can’t get over the peculiar politics and eccentricities ARod boldly shares… HOWEVER, he’s still one of the greatest QB’s EVER… and this is the organization that initially broke his heart entering the NFL! I for one, hope he and the Jets BEAT THE BRAKES OFF THE 49ers in this Monday Night Football Showdown! #NFLWeek1

I guest hosted the @MaggieDaunShow yesterday and asked @TyDunne, @DanRShafer, @ByMattWild, and @compujeramey about covering the Packers, Wisconsin elections, Milwaukee culture, and City Hall as independent journalists with deep research, strong opinions, and gentle sarcasm

@B_Foteff1 @AaronNagler He didn’t want to share a trophy with Gute.

@AaronNagler Why didn’t Aaron throw the ball to Lazard against the 9ers ?

The girlfriend is chatting with a friend. AMA about the Packers.

@minakimes Would you have guessed this after your piece in 2017? Were there impressions then you had but couldn't print?espn.com/espn/feature/s…

Seeing reactions to this along the lines of "who's surprised," but man...this is really galling. Far too many stupid and harmful conspiracy theories out there these days, but Sandy Hook trutherism is uniquely insidious.

@mike_louison @DanRShafer Direct quote from the link: "►► How To Interpret The Data (Intro to %tiles): ◄◄ (skip if you already know what %tiles are) ... Among the Top 10, the age that is the: 90th %tile means that among the Top 10 players, only 1 would be your age or older (9 would be younger).

@mike_louison @DanRShafer This is really interesting data thank you for sharing. In the intro it clearly states that 34 is not the mean age for the 10 ten tackles, it's the 90th percentile of the top 10. In other words, 9/10 top 10 tackles are 34 or younger.

Some people think about the Roman Empire. Others, this.
