Years ago, Cleveland's Fox Channel 8 had a long time weatherman named Dick Goddard that was a legend in Cleveland TV. 
He did some pretty good skits with Big Chuck,Hoolihan,Lil' John and the rest of the Channel 8 all stars back in the day.Funny stuff

I taped a sign to our door that doesn't say "No Soliciting", it just says "I'm voting for whoever rings my doorbell the least."  It's fun catching the canvassers turning around on our Ring

Don't want to belabor the Peloton thing, but there is *one* thing going on right now that's relevant to football, and to @847badgerfan -- Apparently the Watt brothers all have bikes and are competing against each other. 

They even announced a challenge on the Peloton instagram account called #outwatted -- go all-out in a 20 minute ride and try to beat their output. 

Personally, I'm not touching that crap. I've seen their outputs and I can't get close. I'm waiting on the #outmanninged challenge... I'll bet I could take down of the Manning brothers on the bike. 

(I'm including Cooper in that BTW.)

I'm ready to vote for whoever stops fucking texting me.  It's mind-numbing at this point.  How in the hell is spamming people to death an effective measure?  FFS

I'm left pondering which retailers, biz, etc. sold my name to which campaign PACs.

some massive misalignment right there.   none of which is surprising.

Trump without makeup would look 15 years older and would never have won any elections.

Just a random claim.

I think it's silly, but also very true.  If he was simply his natural pale self, our national dynamic would have been so different the past 10 years.  
Just from that one choice.

They are uber-competitive people, which is why they excel at what they do. I'm glad they are reproducing now. Need more Watts in Madison.
