@NFLSTROUD When the opposing coach (a) doubts you have the guts to go for 2 and (b) thanks you for not doing it in that situation, you know you've choked as a coach. Playing not to lose is not the same as playing to win. You're playing Mahomes in KC, you go for 2 in that situation, period.

@rustyrockets The fact that ANYONE trusts Putin is both hilarious and pathetic.

@OzzyOsbourne @kanyewest Ozzy is an all-time legend, Kanye is an all-time loser. Case closed.

@rustyrockets The naivety on display here is staggering. It's not 'journalism' when the 'journalist' (and that is a STRETCH to call Tucker a journalist) is being fed the questions & told what he can or can't discuss. Putin agreed to this because it will become weaponized propaganda. Fools.

[Dave Manic @DaveManic77]

@rustyrockets An interview where the questions are screened ahead of time (approved by Putin and the Kremlin) is not journalism, and Tucker is not a journalist in the classic sense. He's a carnival barker, and this 'interview' is merely theater.

@elonmusk It's a crisis, just about all of us can agree. So ... what's your solution?

@demetriosns @PearlJam @ledzeppelin @VanHalen @officialbadco @gunsnroses @TheDoors Good list, but you missed a top-five all-time debut album. #Boston

.@bakermayfield, We’ve Only Met Once. As Of Today, I Have So Much Respect For You And The @Buccaneers! You Played Your Heart Out. You’re A Badass! I Live In Tampa. I Don’t Have Your Number. I Would Love To Hang Out With You! You’re Such A Badass! I’m So Proud To Say That I’m A Buccaneers Fan! To The Whole Buccaneers Team, God Bless You! You Went Places You Weren’t Supposed To Go! Next Year, Let’s Kick Ass! WOOOOO!

@Loudwire Whaaattt? Of course there are! "The Ritual" & "The Ballad" by @testament, "Bare" by @Anthrax, "The Years of Decay" by @OverkillBand (and @Metallica has several)

@AP Figures, there are always some kooks that want to make everything about politics. The reason is simple: NFL playoffs.

[Dave Manic @DaveManic77]

@FreddieandHD coldest game ever? -20° high school playoff game, 1988 in Connecticut. We had two assistant coaches who thought it was a good idea to wear shorts. They regretted it. But we won 19 to 18 so it was worth it!

[Dave Manic @DaveManic77]

@953WDAE The only two teams I trust the Bucs to beat in the playoffs are the Packers (who they already trounced) and the Eagles, who have completely collapsed and are dealing with major injuries. Still, the Bucs have looked bad the last 2 weeks. Let's go with Bucs 23, Eagles 20.

@elonmusk Really not good for our society for people to think they can/should get their 'news' from social media. You can't get thorough stories, context, or a healthy 'both sides' compare/contrast in such a limited format as social media. Don't confuse legacy media with TV/biased media.

[Dave Manic @DaveManic77]

@Amy_K_Nelson @elonmusk People expect their 'news' delivered to them for 'free.' The only 'free' news outlets are corporate TV (FOX, CNN, MSNBC) & those outlets are commercial-driven, & profit-at-all-costs. These outlets are very biased & people are unaware they're being fed opinions & not real 'news'

[Dave Manic @DaveManic77]

@krassenstein It's meant to bully/intimidate certain students in the school, so should not be allowed. Yes, schools can and do 'ban' clothing with other offensive language including cursing/violence, this is no different. Just because it's a bible passage doesn't mean it deserves 'protection.'

[Dave Manic @DaveManic77]

@NFLSTROUD How is this 'haze' not on the coach? If the ENTIRE TEAM was out of it for the majority of the first half in a game that meant capturing the division title ... I mean, how does that happen?!

[Dave Manic @DaveManic77]

@CarrollynAragon @adammocklerr Exactly. This was referred to as the 'Southern Strategy,' a specific course of action that took place over decades, from the '60s through the '90s. It was the Republican party's attempt to court white southern voters (the 'Dixiecrats') using racist, sexist & religious ideologies.

@JebraFaushay A man or a woman should be able to "sell" (or more appropriately "rent") their body as they see fit without government interference. And really, no one cares about your bullshit morality. Prostitution should be legalized and taxed to keep it safe and properly regulated.
