My 2nd favorite player's having his number retired this year. The Josh Harris administration has big shoes to fill when it comes to this kind of thing.

I forgot Smokin' Weeden was 28 when he was drafted.

Just watched the late games, it was an entertaining morning. Kopi is my favorite never-been-a-Penguin and he sniped the Oil last night.

Come see how exciting Mom and Dad's jobs are. Way to hike the teen suicide rate.

We have family members in our Amazon address list for gifts and anything we order for my in laws who wouldn't know how to order online. Have to watch to make sure orders are coming to our address.

I also just deleted a couple of hotels that I had Fire Sticks sent to when I forgot to take them.

Wake me up when this turns out to have any relevant teeth whatsoever.

I'm still registered R, because Pennsylvania. I should have registered a protest vote for Haley but since there were no races of any relevance I couldn't be troubled to cross the street to do it. I wish they would open the primaries so it made sense to register Independent, or anything but R or D. A...

Trump will never see the inside of a jail cell. The wishful thinking has passed by years ago.

I'd be happy with locked down in an extended stay motel.

The rest of his life in a rodeway inn is probably some circle of hell for his orange highness.

Canucks are effed.

People tooling along at night with just daytime running lights on. Hey slapdick you don’t have taillights when you do that.

"I'll give you 15 minutes back. No you won't, those are my 15 minutes, you're just not going to steal them.

lol

TIL my 16 year old daughter runs social for the Canes.

I had no idea Ryan Suter wasn't in a retirement community.

Down in the Baltimore/DC area this weekend I saw at least three vehicles blow past regular 75 mph traffic in the breakdown lane going like 90 with an exit not especially close. Not emergency vehicles either, regular ones with no rollers or anything. Is this a regular thing now or just weird coincide...

My kid wanted something she could listen to music in her room. For whatever reason (probably because it was the cheapest one on Amazon) my wife got her a boom box that has only radio and CD options. Kid loves TSwift, so I got her a few of her albums. I like folklore and lover. The rest… they’re oka...

Went to one of my favorite record stores outside Pittsburgh (we have great record stores here) for Record Store Day. Trax on Wax in Catonsville, MD. It’s not that big but it is well curated. Outside their dollar bins you won’t find any beat up crap - and even the dollar bins aren’t full of Montavani...

Tim was not much of a hockey fan but he did support the Caps in the playoffs. He and my daughter had an ongoing smack talk battle. We stopped to see him on the way back from Emerald Isle in 2018 which of course was after the Caps won their cup following two for the Pens. Peak rivalry. The whole way ...

Hammers play the game of their lives vs Leverkusen, then give up 5 to forever meh Crystal Palace.

Moving memorial to my friend who died from cancer back in January here in Washington yesterday. Appropriately at his buddy’s bar. There were 8 of his co workers here and we felt so welcomed by his local friends and family. One of his employees came down from Johnstown and- this is the effect of covi...

As Utah is the Beehive State, I’d go Buzz (resulting in both major sports franchises having names ending in “zz”) or Utah Swarm.

Buzz being a little ironic because Mormons (allegedly) don’t do anything that gives you one.

I am a Southwest avoider but got a $58 flight to BWI today rather than drive 6 hrs to my friend’s memorial south of DC. Got spot B-14 but the whole exit row was open. I guess it’s not that bad if you just have one flight but I worry about connecting and my first flight being late putting my ass in t...

Know who loves it? 16 year old girls who buy music. All songs already fully analyzed here chez Franchise..

Yep.

Are you getting a copy of all six differently colored vinyl versions for her?

Am I? Hell no. What she wants to do with her money though….

Happy Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology day. IMO, this whole “I wrote tortured poetry” bit is absolutely insufferable. Reviews are pretty mediocre, outside of the inexplicably fawning review in Rolling Stone. The nonstop angst theme is definitely growing old. Know who loves it? 16 year old g...

What's your North Star though?

Depending on current result Hammers supporters would either be celebrating or preparing for him to lie in state for a week.

It was a draw though so meh.
