- The Tesla Cybertruck is only available in stainless steel but here’s a painted one. This person literally could have chosen any color and went with doo-doo brown?
- For my fellow Cowboys fans, it was nice of Michael Irvin to mention this old lady in his tweet.
- I wish the Republican party would split into MAGA and traditional sections. Actually, I wish the Trump supporters would just create a MAGA party.
- Two words I use way too often in my writing are in that last bullet point: actually and just. I also feel like I overuse “very.”
- Somewhat new sports terminology that shouldn’t annoy me but does like all get out:
- The use of “Nation” or “Kingdom” regarding the fandom of any team.
- GOAT (Greatest Of All Time)
- Natty used as an abbreviation for a national championship.
- Kirk Cousins is a great human being, but I can’t stand the guy. It was hard to root for the Vikings in any game. His new team, the Falcons, has who I believe will be the best running back in the league in the next few seasons. Their running game will open up now that teams have to respect the passing game. Atlanta has a lot to be excited about this upcoming season, unlike Cowboys fans.
- If Jerry were truly “all in” for next season, he would have signed Derrick Henry. Signing him would not be the best thing for the team in the long term, but if the goal is to win the Super Bowl next season, that’s how you go about being “all in.” An article I was reading about Henry referred to him as a “bell cow.” Despite being from Mineral Wells with friends who lived on dairy farms, I’ve never heard of the term. So, I looked it up. A synonym was “workhorse.” Now, that I understood.
- Mineral Wells used to have a newspaper, the Index. A friend’s father followed local sports and wrote for the paper. The man could be a little eccentric, but what a lot of folks took for granted was how their childhood was being documented. He was colorful and sometimes gave nicknames to players. I was never lucky enough to earn one as a tight end, but my very first friend in life who played running back, just like Henry, was bequeathed “Workhorse.” I took advantage of modern technology and sent him a quick text just to let him know I was thinking of him.

- There’s a lot to unpack here. I’ll just say that every family grieves in their own way and all victims have their own idea of what helps bring justice.
- Georgia Congressman Mike Collins invited Laken Riley’s parents to the State of the Union address just days after her murder, which they understandably declined. However, they appeared at a Trump campaign event yesterday. The former president autographed a poster of their daughter and misspelled her name by ending it in “an.”
- Loosely related: While criticizing President Biden for mispronouncing Laken Riley’s name, Marjorie Taylor Greene makes the same mistake and calls her Lincoln Riley. That reminds me of when a form of justice was brought to Osama Bin Laden and news people would confuse “Osama” and “Obama.”
- Jon Stewart often can articulate what I feel but have trouble expressing. He’s done it again. Love, worship, and support President Trump as much as you want, just don’t call it patriotism.
Jon Stewart is right. Go ahead and support His Magasty if you must. But don’t call it “patriotism.” And wear the right damn coats. pic.twitter.com/W2AEcqixXz
