  • Looked up from my computer earlier today only to see a hummingbird hovering outside my office window. So, that was pretty cool.

  • My little buddy, Bogey, would have been 9 today. Pour one out for him today.

  • As the cameras pulled back from Anfield to show the neighborhood around the stadium, it becomes crystal clear why English football is so special. All of these teams, regardless of how big, are just neighborhood teams. They are part of the community – just another neighbor.

    There are a few examples of this in the US with Wrigley Field being an obvious one. Other leagues and teams can learn a thing or two by watching the celebrations in Liverpool today.

  • Any time Justices Alito and Thomas are on the outside looking in on a majority vote of the Supreme Court is a good day for America.

  • Seriously, what in the actual fuck is this??? This is the fucking White House. THE WHITE HOUSE!

    Trump voters, is this what you voted for? This is a serious question. This is seriously what you want? Really? Truly?

  • Great interview with Harper Steele, and of course she’s a Hawkeye!

  • I haven’t seen too many banks go down the Google path. Very interesting.

  • Let us not forget that the impacts of Trump’s poorly planned global trade war are all on him. We are not whole even after today’s rally. This is all self-inflicted chaos that is avoidable under clear-headed leadership.

  • For those of you hearing and reading about the protests that happened yesterday, mark your calendars for April 19th. I am 100% convinced that a massive majority of Americans do not want the intentional destruction that Trump is inflicting on our government and way of life.

    We all must participate in our democracy to keep it. This is no time to be a wallflower or Monday Morning Quarterback.

    Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

  • The NBC Sports apps on iOS, iPadOS, and tvOS have had an incredibly frustrating bug for years, and it is beyond me how they have not fixed this yet.

    All of the apps consistently lose their connections to our TV provider and throw an error requiring me to re-authenticate before watching content. None of the other apps that use our TV provider have this issue so I know it is a problem with the way NBCUniversal has implemented the connection. This seems like something that can easily be fixed with a bit of effort.

    Perhaps NBCUniversal Media can borrow some resources from Peacock TV to improve the user experience of the NBCUniversal apps.
