So excited football is back tonight! I can’t wait to watch the first game of the NFL season, which kicks off on a Thursday like it always does!

@united There should be consideration for passengers who only have one bag in the first place. Forcing customers to board the aircraft with a bunch of loose possessions can’t possibly be the best option.

.@united let me just hand carry half my items because you forced me to gate check my only bag when the overhead bin above my seat is half empty. Completely unacceptable customer experience

One thing I’ve always liked about the NFL is that star players rarely hit free agency. Teams get rewarded for drafting and developing guys, and when a team has a ton of cap space it usually means they’ve been bad for a while.

That allows places like Buffalo and Green Bay the ability to compete with New York and LA. The two worst teams of the last decade play in New York, not because of market size but because of bad decisions. Meanwhile, Kansas City can draft well, keep its stars, and turn into a dynasty.

In baseball, small market teams almost never get to keep their best players. A $300 million gap between the highest and lowest payrolls just shouldn’t exist. Player freedom matters and players should get paid, but a real salary cap and a floor would force owners to spend and would be better for the sport long term.

@jscherkenbach1 @BostonStrong_34 The 2016 team didn’t also have the 4th most effective offense in baseball

Giving Charlie Brown Christmas a jazz score is probably one of the top 10 decisions in human history

@Aj_LaGambina @Hark2426 Why do we have to wait 5 games

[Patrick Maher @P_maher7]

Finger pointing now risks fracturing what we have left and making it easier for them to implement all the fucked up things they've promised. I feel empty realizing that the majority of Americans really want those things, but it's hard to interpret the data any other way. 3/3

A five point national shift to the right and losses in all the down-ballot races that matter makes a few things clear: Harris did not lose the election because she's a bad candidate. She did not lose because of any one issue. She did not lose because of 3rd party voters...1/3

[Patrick Maher @P_maher7]

A shift this wide and empowering the GOP in (probably) both houses of congress indicates the electorate actually believes in the policies they're selling, and that's all there is to it...2/3

@Greg__Habeeb And for what? This feels like a choice to throw him to the wolves just so they can be perceived as trying to do something

My boyfriend will not stop talking about how State Farm needs to sign Malik Nabers because they’d have endless “like a good Nabers State Farm is there” jokes and I gotta say, he ain’t wrong

@Greg__Habeeb A chiefs 3peat, really. Are you trying to jinx this into existence? 🤮
