It changes the equation when the spokesman of one branch of government calls for the firing of someone in a private company.

As a criminal matter, police deserve to be innocent until proven guilty, as all other people do.

‘Starting’?

The actual football feels like an auxiliary part of the NFL experience now.

You didn’t get into this, but concussions and contract insecurity, or in the NCAA the lack of all compensation, have made it difficult for me to even watch games these days. There’s a moral element that feels like something out of ‘Running…

The real issue is the strange & archaic elevation of states as political entities to give them outsized political representation at the expense of cities & the federal population as a whole.

Who would you take out of the starting lineup in the West to fit Westbrook in there?

Plus, it’s not a knock on him that New England felt they could get something for him and traded him for future-producing things.

The population of the state is heavily Democratic, but the legislative districts don’t reflect that.
