Penn State needs to take a hard look at the coordinator spearheading the hottest defense in the country. Someone with previous HC experience.

Trying to think who the funniest possible hire at Penn State would be and my heart says Pat Narduzzi.

Didn’t say it was his fault!

The loss to Bama in the 2018 natty also wasn’t Jake Fromm’s fault lol

The Stetson thing is a little odd but Cabela’s/Bass Pro stuff as well as Carhartt are very normal in this same context in the “cool” parts of most major U.S. cities. Been that way for years in Brooklyn.

To be fair if I were coaching the Jets I’m not sure I’d be able to summon up a sense of urgency either

Whatever just happened in the Jets game can accurately be described as antifootball

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 8h

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

The deportation order is based on Vedam’s conviction for murder—a crime he did not actually commit and for which he’s now been wholly exonerated. He entered the US at 9 months old and was a legal permanent resident before his conviction. We are so, so, so far from the light of justice.

Lynn Becker @cmgiulini.bsky.social · 18h

After spending 43 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit, evidence hidden by the prosecution reversed his conviction. Rather than finally enjoying freedom, ICE abducted him for deportation

Depraved.

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him

The deportation order derives from the crime of which he has now been exonerated.

I would always prefer that my team win games by being competent but if I can’t have that then beating rivals in ways that they find personally offensive is my next choice

“Hidden here is the assumption that ordinary people are unable to grasp anything challenging or complex. It is a wretchedly patronising claim imposed upon working-class people by middle-class gatekeepers…”
