I used to work for a hockey team and I used to live in Canada (not in that order). Now I do other stuff. PEI, ATL, Thrashers nostalgia, random music, food takes, dad life

And no college athletes, or even former athletes from the NIL and transfer portal era.

The DOJ released evidence, which the FBI deemed credible, that the President of the United States sexually and physically assaulted a 13 year old girl AND she was afraid to talk about it because Trump would kill herβ€”and it’s somehow not the biggest scandal in American history?

This reminds me of the time a certain Thrashers player didn't engage the parking brake of his golf cart at the team charity tournament and it started rolling down the hill to a water hazard. He chased it, jumped in, and stopped it.

Then he looked at me and said "Almost pulled an Erik Johnson."

They're officially designated as a terrorist organization in Canada.

There are yellowish LED Christmas lights that are indistinguishable from incandescent. I put them side by side in my yard and there's no difference.

If it's not a war how is someone supposed to surrender?

The sundaes and chocolate chip cookies are also delicious but not near the bargain that hot dogs and pizza are.

I agree with you. The problem is about to be that Canada is part of NATO and NATO is obligated to help an ally under attack, and Iran has been launching missiles at Turkey.

So NATO probably needs to declare it an illegal war, and my faith in that happening is almost nonexistent.

A thing in higher ed that nobody tells you is that if a professor just got a new fellowship there's a good chance they were offered a job elsewhere and the fellowship is part of their retention package. Not always, but often.

Have you heard about the newly passed Canadian citizenship law that grants citizenship to anyone who can prove Canadian ancestry, no matter how far back? The two countries are going in opposite directions in terms of who can be a citizen.

Somewhere Tom Price is shaking his head and wondering how in the world he was forced to reaign over $15,000 in travel expenses early in the first administration.

I did in fact. Canadian Baptist, which people like to think is different from Southern Baptist but they don't drink, dance, or play cards either. My father was a Baptist pastor until I was 13.

Somewhere there's someone who is actually running the military operation (it isn't Trump or Hegseth) and I wonder what they think the plan and objectives are.

For a brief period I was one of the world's leading academic experts on professional wrestling. I was invited to MIT to speak about it.

Someone (Patrick Thomson) qualified to run against John Albers today so at least one state district I live in is being contested.

Being loyal MIGHT get you a pardon. Turning on him definitely doesn't get you a pardon. They're playing the odds.

So their nuclear program went from completely destroyed last summer to weaponized this month? That's astounding.

If you're going to Liberty Law School odds are you're probably already aligned, despite Trump being the opposite of almost everything Liberty stood for before 2016.

Sounds like we might have a candidate anyway. Thanks for considering it. I kind of want to run someday but I don't have the resume for it.
