In this crisis, I take advice from only one man: Dr. Anthony Fauci. Has worked under six US Presidents, currently working 20-hour days, yet tries to run several miles a day.
He’s an American hero and doesn’t care for politics. We’ll be fine if we listen to him.

Where Kaplan was right
If the South and Midwest think wearing masks is an “infringement on liberties”, just wait till the 2020 CFB season goes away entirely.

These past few days feel like a new low for the country. In the middle of a pandemic, police are still finding ways to not only continue being racist (on live TV!), but also suppress the media reporting on it.

Was Penix in? No. Were they ever overturning the call on the field? Also no.
Plenty of teams around the Big Ten improving but Penn State still manages to have that one totally avoidable loss every season. It will keep them where they are status-wise until that changes.

Me:
Montana law (still) says that if a student rides a horse to school, the principal has to tend and feed the horse for the day. It’s a tradition in my hometown to give the principal a lot to do the week school ends. Gotta love it.
