The off-season is the best season.

One thing I've heard in the wake of the A.J. Brown trade that is driving me crazy: "The Patriots are a top 5 offense now."
New England's 2025 rankings:
Points: 2nd
Yards: 3rd
EPA/play: 3rd
EPA/DB: 1st
TD/Dr: 3rd
Pts/Dr: 4th
Passing yards: 4th
Passing TDs: 5th
Pass success%: 1st
Explosive play%: 1st
Explosive pass% 1st

Want to say it was the schedule?
Offensive DVOA: 3rd
Passing DVOA: 2nd

Patriots were already comfortably in the top 5.

Ok here’s the plan:
—win the lottery for Phoebe Bridgers tickets
—find a ceiling panel or crawlspace in which I can live undetected for four days
—$1 Knicks Finals ticket

One thing I've learned in sports, business, and media: when people can't attack the argument, they attack the messenger.
I showed three clips. The conversation became about my résumé. That's usually a sign we're no longer discussing the actual point.

I’m going to be honest. I’m a huge fan of policing your own. MLB does it. NHL does it. NFL does it. The only way to get players to stop acting like idiots, is to let them know when they are. If a team is going to constantly flop and foul bait, then you may as well get your money’s worth. I’d love to see more of this in the NBA. It’s the only way things are going to get cleaned up. Obviously, the league isn’t going to fix it.

Things you can do as an athlete:

- beat your wife
- abuse your kids
- run from the cops
- do insane amounts of drugs
- go to strip clubs
- bet on games

Things you can’t do as an athlete:

- Support the current President

[Barry Jackson @flasportsbuzz]

I cannot believe Charlotte's punishment for the Hornets defrauding the Heat over Rozier was the same as the NHL's punishment for the Las Vegas Golden knights not doing a recent postgame media availability (a second round pick for both). #whatanoutrage

sorry it blew up, but for explosion fanatics, this is an all-time explosion caught on camera https://t.co/nt12WgCwc3

Carter Bryant you just gained a fan in me 💯

[Gary Parrish @GaryParrishCBS]

Memphis traded Jaren Jackson Jr. for a package that included a 2027 first-round pick from the Jazz that could theoretically be the No. 1 pick. That was part of the trade. And the NBA just undid it less than four months later. Now it can't even be in the top five.

Ridiculous.

Take me back to the two week period when this was a foul

[Yogi @Houseofyogi]

Bezos went on CNBC yesterday and said "You could double the taxes I pay and it's not gonna help that teacher in Queens."

And all the bureaucrats and socialists lost their minds.

Promise the teacher a raise. Tax everyone. Launder the money through Washington. Then blame the billionaire. We aren't morons Ro, we've seen this before.

Bezos said the bottom half of earners should pay zero federal income tax.

A nurse in Queens making $75K hands the IRS $12K a year. He said cut it to zero. She keeps her full paycheck. No bs refund, paperwork or shady government program.

Simple.

They won't do it. And you should ask yourself why.

They don't ACTUALLY want to help anyone. They just want to pretend they tried and get your votes while making you hate the ppl they scammed.

They want the money to flow through Washington, the city, every ponzi department and consultant and charity so each one can wet their beak.

By the time it reaches the teacher it's maybe $100, if that...

And then they'll blame the billionaire who hasn't paid their "fair share." Right Warren???

Lets take a gander at Mamdani's education budget.

NYC spends $42K per student per year, 3x the national average ($15K). Highest in America. Florida pays $9K.

NYC spends more per pupil than most people pay for private school or college. Its frickn insane.

The budget has gone up every year, enrollment has gone down. With all that money only 3 out of 10 kids can read in the 8th grade. Cuba can read better english and they speak spanish lol.

So where is the money going? Def not to teachers. but shh, ro doesn't want you to know that.

A starting teacher in NYC makes $65K. Mamdani's city spends $42K per kid, runs a $40B budget. You could pay every teacher six figures with that money and have 12 kids per a classroom. But thats too logical.

It goes to administrators. Consultants. Overtime. Unions. Friends and family businesses. Pensions for people who left a decade ago. Studies about studies. Buildings that take ten years to renovate. Everyone else but the kids, teachers and actual schools

THERE IS ENOUGH MONEY.

Politicians decide where the money goes. Teachers are underpaid because of how government spends money. Not because Bezos doesn't pay enough.

Then they stand outside a billionaire's apartment with a camera and tell you he's the problem.

That's the SCAM.

Ro Khanna says tax billionaires to fund $60K teacher salaries. NYC already spends enough to fund $100K teacher salaries. The money's there, Ro. Your people are the ones who won't give it to her.

Federal level is the same story. DOE spending up 649% since 2000 and kids aren't any smarter. GAO found $186 billion in improper payments last year. $3 trillion in errors since 2003. It’s criminal.

Stop taxing the nurse. No bureaucracy. Just let the woman keep her full paycheck.

Outrage is deflection.

They'd rather she pay.

Because her keeping her own money doesn't fund the machine and they lose the one thing that keeps the whole racket going: a billionaire to blame.
