The level of altercation it takes to get arrested on the left during a protest is not the same as on the right.

I watched so much IU football this year and knew exactly how amazing that team was. And still this sentence just does not compute

This feels like a good solution, but probably a downgrade from Dalman last year. Leaves enough money available to still focus on other needs.

Yeah they played perfect in the final couple of minutes and MSU absolutely fell asleep.

I’m so annoyed. An absolute domino effect after the four point play by Rutgers. All so unnecessary, and then Fox doesn’t even have time to air the seniors getting their goodbyes.

All I want is for MSU to keep this game at least 12 points, give the seniors their moment without any stress.

You: Hey Kyle, what’s Indiana like?

As of right now they are just guys. Zaccheaus had some moments last year, Jahdae Walker is the best wild card prospect of the group. But those guys would be a fourth option in the passing tree behind Rome, Burden, and Loveland.

DJ Moore helped reshape the Bears offense and had the surest hands on the team. But at his current level he's a replaceable player and the Bears are much better off with the money they get back. This is all dependent on Rome becoming a dude again though.

That’s not true, but the Houston Astros did set up cameras in the outfield not to steal signs, but to make sure Chotiner wasn’t showing up for an interview.

I, simply, would not do an interview with Isaac Chotiner if I was this Congressman. But I guess I'm built different.

The Bears turnaround last year was in large part thanks to the interior offensive line. The hope was they could do to the D-Line this offseason what happened to the O-Line. They now need a new LT already and center. Things feel shaky all of a sudden.

Thinking about going to Facebook to post some political thoughts. It’s always good to find out how many idiots I still have in my life

Putin called his war against Ukraine a β€œspecial military operation” for a year.

Purdue fans are so weird about Chris Kramer. So overly protective of a guy no other schools ever think of. Every school has a guy like that, Purdue's is definitely Kramer.

The absolute hardest part about working from home is when one of my kids asks me to play with them. Just brutal to tell a kid his dad can't play because he has to sit in front of a computer.

100% yes. Couldn’t be more confident.

Man I hate playing Purdue. My wife is a Purdue grad and huge fan. I’m jumping out of my skin right now after that game and have to keep a poker face

I'm happy the Bears met with Mesidor, but I'd be shocked if he's still there by the time their pick comes around. It would make for an easy decision if he was.

I feel like I've been looking forward to the World Baseball Classic for an oddly long amount of time. I think this is going to be a really fun and talented event this time around.

Genuinely curious to see how Trump meddling will play in Indiana this year. The assumption from the outside is he will be able to sway things in his favor in deep-red IN. But there is a strong sense in Indiana politics to do the opposite of what they are told by outsiders for better or worse.

Fort Wayne is a strange place. We can’t decide if we are a real city or a farm town. The paper today had a front page picture of a Moon Pie eating contest. Yesterday it was a murder trial update and downtown infrastructure.

Had to write something about Zion Williamson at Duke, so of course I watched the final seven minutes of the Elite Eight game against Michigan State.

The bluetooth in the family car automatically takes over any other bluetooth connection to my phone. So when my wife starts our car whatever I'm listening to gets transferred from my headphones to the car. Which is how my family heard @pablo.show and Katie Nolan talking about her feet.

As a secondary reason this sucks, it's going to hurt Indiana as much as anything else. National hauling companies will just avoid the state, meaning companies and businesses here will be SOL. Another point of pure perfection from the Indiana State House.

There is absolutely no legal reason anyone needs to know english. There is no national language and as long as you can the roadways are specifically designed to not need to be literate in english. This is pure, unabashed, bigotry.
