ESPN’s coverage of 2005 NFL Draft. They used to have a player roundtable which always led to interesting discussion. Here Mike Vrabel, Trent Green & Jon Jansen discuss Randy Moss who had been traded on 3/2/2005 to the Raiders for LB Napoleon Harris & pick 7 (Troy Williamson).

Worth noting that 80 percent of the votes tallied in this statewide election were submitted by mail. Is there any other state that has those kinds of numbers @JonRegardie Less than 400,000 people - in the entire state of CA - voted in person

LA Rams HC Sean McVay - Be An Elevator

"We want to try and be elevators, we want to try and help people be able to reach their highest potential."

"What that means is that you elevate every person/situation that you're a part of. That's what great leaders do."

"I know when I reflect back on the good times, it's been because there is a purpose about serving others."

"When I have looked back and said man I should have been better, it's usually when it's become a little bit more about me than I ever wanted it to. Your own selfish ambitions."

[Burhan Azeem, Cambridge Vice Mayor @realBurhanAzeem]

Massachusetts has one of the least productive legislatures in the country. Last week it moved fast for once: voting 125-28 to gut the audit 72% of voters approved and block the courts from enforcing it. No hearing, 24 hours to read it.

They can move quickly. Just not for you.

🚨 JUST NOW: NBA Commissioner Adam Silver just TOTALLY REFUTED Hakeem Jeffries’ accusation that President Trump is NOT a Knicks fan and is just there for attention

“He was a FIXTURE at NBA at Madison Square Garden.. Back in the old days, he had COURTSIDE SEATS!

He was here ALL the time!

He was at drafts. So he's a GENUINE Knicks fan..

Looking around this arena, it's packed!”

What a high EPA/play vs. zone might be saying about the QB:

1. They're good at identifying coverage pre-snap
2. They're anticipating holes & on time with throws
3. They're layering throws to various (right for the play) levels
4. They're good at creating off-schedule
5. They have a good OC, that schemes well for situations
6. They have route runners who are good at finding soft spots
7. They have a good play action game that momentarily freezes defenders, opening up windows

AJ Brown is the new Gronk in New England?

Rob Gronkowski agrees 🤝

#Patriots WR Kayshon Boutte on AJ Brown:

“That was a good pick up! He a great dude… Great X receiver. Dominant. Whether that’s deep ball, short route… I’m a X receiver too so I sit there and kinda watch his tape. That’s a guy you see constantly wins 1-on-1s.”

Wait, the taxpayers of Massachusetts can foot the bill of over a quarter of a million dollars for the Trans Period Pride with "a free catered dinner and free period underwear", but the town of Rutland is canceling their 4th of July celebration (already funded by donations and sponsors) because of a lack of police, fire, and EMS staffing after budget cuts? Make it make sense.

If you'd like to attend the free Trans Period Pride Event you can find a link in the first comment. This event is free to attend because the taxpayers are footing the bill!

[Brian Shortsleeve for Massachusetts @ShortsleeveMA]

A Massachusetts town is closing its elementary school, laying off police officers, cutting library hours, and eliminating up to 30 school positions.

This is what happens when Beacon Hill lets local aid fall behind while state government keeps growing. Communities are being forced to choose between higher property taxes, fewer services, or both.

As governor, I'll double local aid so towns can keep schools open, protect public safety, and give property taxpayers a break. Read more here: https://t.co/P1Kd5w9tTh

Kayshon Boutte on playing for the #Patriots:

“I wanna be in New England for the rest of my career… I enjoy it out here. Been here three years… I call this home. This my new home. Grew up in Louisiana, stayed there 20 years, but now Boston is my life.”

They killed Charlie.
They shot President Trump.
They put hundreds into the DC gulag by lying.
It’s not a battle of ideas - they want us dead.
Know the fight we are in.
