Probably not a big surprise for most, but this crying about the booing is ridiculous. Fans are CUSTOMERS!!! If they aren’t happy with the product they have EVERY right to boo. They should’ve booed even louder tbh. Vrabel rotating QBs is an embarrassment. Sent a message.

This morning, I am extremely grateful for this incredible honor. This work can sometimes be exhausting, and occasionally the subjects try to retaliate. But I am lifted up by the difference that I can make in my community and the fact that the hard work is noticed. Thank you!

One of the defining characteristics of our times… …will be the rampant politicization of everything. It will be our undoing. Our enemies couldn’t imagine a better scenario.
