Text from the Declaration of Independence, listing the grievances against the tyranny of the monarchy (emphasis mine): The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over...

Does Kenyon Murray like mountain biking? I keep waiting for our version of the Waltons to invest big in mtb infrastructure around the IC area, ala Bentonville!

According to wikipedia, he was an all-state QB in high school in Texas, and he scored 30 ppg in his senior year of basketball. You are a Twins fan, right? Who are your top 3 pitchers of your Twins fandom (your favorites, not necessarily the best)?

I have a colleague who is multiracial (black father, white mother). I didn't know this for several years, as he describes it, he is "white presenting." That is, he looks more like his mom. So, he gets treated like a white person. A person with a similar background who happens to look more like...

I don't fault any college athlete for thinking about how to set themselves up for future success, but I also think that, "How can I secure the most money for this upcoming season?" is the wrong question to be asking. It wouldn't make sense to ask a player like Iamaleava to play for free, but his...

And KF will retire after the 2026 season. AI knows all, take all of those predictions to the bank!

Predicted leaders: Passing: Gronowski Rushing: Patterson Receiving: Anderson

It says the games Iowa is most likely to lose, in order, are... OSU Michigan Wisconsin Nebraska

Microsoft Copilot has best-case scenario 9-3 or 10-2....worst case-scenario 5-7...most likely scenario, 8-4. It is like Copilot hangs out reading these boards all day.

For over half of the Super Bowl era in the NFL, decision makers believed that black QBs were not capable of leading teams and being successful. This is abundantly clear from the history of black QBs starting in the NFL: 2 in the 60s (Super Bowl era began in 1967...the first black starting QB...

I will say, there are some intelligent people (e.g. Oren Cass) making a case for more protectionism that makes sense to me. I also think while our trade imbalance with any country is not an issue, our net trade deficit with the rest of the world could be problematic. I don't know what the answer...

It is pretty clear I am not on board with most of what the Trump admin is doing. However, I think there are some interesting ideas being thrown around. They have mentioned creating "special economic zones" where a bunch of red tape can be cut and construction fast-tracked to try to catch up in...

You're just stealing your shit straight from Ezra Klein: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/04/15/opinion/ezra-klein-podcast-thomas-friedman.html Oh wait, your post came first, I guess he is stealing his shit straight from you. Apparently, going to China and seeing the infrastructure they have built...

A good coach knows how to maximize an elite skill while hiding weaknesses.

And you have to have one guy that can bring the ball up the court reliably, and at least a couple who can create shots for themselves and others.

These clips from practice footage are just bonkers (apparently, they were doing situational work, simulating trying to overcome a huge deficit with limited time remaining)... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUBMvwaLXzo

Those 4 losses to Minny, ISU, and Nebraska were real chafers...

The woman who won it (from Grand Canyon U) hit 14 of 15 across her last 3 racks, including all the money balls. I felt bad for the 2nd place (from Alabama), because she had by far the most across all 3 rounds, but her opponent had flames shooting out of her head in the finals.

One of the best examples I can think of is 2008 Olympic Men's BB. USA was coming off its first defeat since using pros (2004 they got bronze), and there was huge pressure for them to win. There were tons of superstars on that team: Kobe, Dwyane, LeBron, C. Paul, Bosh, Carmelo, D. Howard...but...

Is it fair to assume the bottom half of their roster gets nothing? What about the rest of their starters? I think college sports is missing out on a huge interest-generator by having all of this stuff clandestine. Look at the NBA...free agency and off-season maneuvering draw more eyeballs than...
