I really enjoyed this piece. Well argued, non-spiteful and fairly leveled. Given that it’s trending on Twitter, there’s also a better than average chance the candidate read it and if he did, I hope he “got” it.

I coach youth football. You all sound ridiculous.

There’s so much wrong in here, but....

It’s miles and miles safer than what it was even 20 years ago. Coaches are smarter, technique is better, coaches at the lowest levels are trained to spot head injuries and the game itself, keeps improving.

I live in Chicago but grew up in Austin so my answers for both:

Wheat Thins are wannabe cookies. Why are these crackers so sweet? 

This was a well thought out piece but, isn’t Portis’ fall back a $5M contract in 2020 with a team of his choosing? I’d much rather be on the Portis end of things here.

I can’t help but think the Cubs/Wrigleyville get more 911 calls because the ballpark is in the middle of an affluent neighborhood whose residents can’t find parking or are trying to get their kids to bed. This isn’t a measure of danger but one of inconvenience.

Two horse race between Kevin and Kate (I have no idea what Allison and Gwen were attempting to do.)

YOUR WOKENESS IS UNPARALLELED!

As a Chicagoan, I’m proud that we’re sending the message to the country that we are a progressive city. I honestly didn’t know until this morning that she was gay and I voted for her twice. None of the research I did on policy etc. brought this up, why would they, it’s irrelevant- but it shows how far we’ve come.

I completely disagree with the premise here.

I love this blog.

I’ve been reading your stuff forever and this might be my favorite blog. 

Whoa. What is this milk-Jell-O sorcery you write so fondly of?

“Tomato Time” happens to coincide with “Peak Basil.”

“so the league will keep selling the broadcast rights to its increasingly shitty and confusing product to ESPN”

You nailed this. It’s very much the opening scene of The Newsroom updated for today.

I’m just here for the soup puns.

Fair enough.
