Thanks Herky. Didn’t have a recent one but appreciate the love. Jogger thinks being in your mid 50s is hilariously old and something to make fun of. He doesn’t seem to have much in his life so I play along.
You have grandkids, got hit hard by COVID, have multiple other health issues, and think that construction workers should take time off from their jobs to wave at the children's hospital. No way you're under 75.

LOL. I don’t have grandkids. I have no health issues. The other two don’t seem real age- dependent. Update that spreadsheet you loser try hard.

I guess an ablation is normal wear and tear on a healthy 50 year old, and getting floored for weeks by COVID happens in all age brackets? LOL you old fuck

That, unfortunately, is a real life human. Former student of mine. But my philosophy is to claim students’ accomplishments as a result of me and to dismiss their stupidity as the fault of their many other teachers.
Reminds me of when we hired a guy at work that was from the same small town my mom grew up in. The new guy realized he had had my uncle as a teacher in high school. I texted my uncle and said we hired one of his former students, he asked for the name and responded with...

'Oh....'

That’s when you say, “But I don’t fully judge a student until they’re 25.”

Walked by practice again today and it’s funny to see Tim Polasek coaching/instructing players while wearing a face mask.

When do they get to start having contact practices or is that still on hold until they decide on a start date for the season?

I don’t think they would have started yet anyway

Poor guy likely has to gut his whole dip.

I meant face shield not mask. Makes more sense knowing he chews.

Is there any doubt that Fleck will say he advised him to sit out the season? And any chance that’s how it went down?

Good stuff from Scott on The Athletic today. It's nice to think about the game itself.

I think the double down on the Vox shit got him in hot water.
There's no conceivable way that was a good look for the Gazette. Either your top beat guy witnessed years of "obvious" racial bias and ignored it, or your top beat guy is lying about witnessing years of obvious racial bias to look good now.

If true on Morehouse, I’m enjoying the reaping. Howe also needs to be reaped, but seems un-reapable. I’d say Harty does too, but I don’t think he has any sort of value to anyone in the media train.

The obvious problem with Howe is that is (and always has been) an independent site with no standards. It will take them losing money to get rid of him. Same shit with Pharty. I honestly don’t understand how they make any money, but what do I know.

I don't even view Harty as in the same category as the others. He's basically sub-human and aggressively terrible at everything he does. It's like watching a monkey flinging its own shit in a zoo.

Even after all of this, Howe is still clearly better at running a business/website.

Howe has gone from the Iowa City Press Citizen to HawkeyNation when it was with Scout to converting that to HawkeyeInsider(?) when Miller took HawkeyeNation away from scout, to starting a website with Harty that Harty has since changed only to end up back at HawkeyeNation.

That seems like a ridiculous amount of effort just to keep a job covering the same college team.

And when you apparently have utter contempt for that team.

I wonder the same - good writers can always make some kind of freelance revenue that keeps them able to invest in the ‘brand’.

With these guys you wonder if there is a Marty level revenue stream going.

If only we had some posters who could answer this.
