MVP discussion has all been Brady and Rogers. Let’s face it, @CooperKupp is still playing and the others are at home. Kupp should be #mvp and the @RamsNFL are in the #SuperBowl this year because of him. @espn @NFL

Only fitting that while in #nashville that as the city manager of #newbernnc @CityofNewBern that @PepsiCo is celebrating #dewoutpost event. Proud to represent the birthplace of such a great concept and company.

A loop comparing the 12z globals and ensembles vs the 00z #Dorian as you can see a general shift closer to the coast.
