  I didn’t have a dog in the football fight, but I will say it’s heartwarming to see all the opposing players embracing after the game. The winners aren’t rubbing it in. The losers are congratulating with tears in their eyes. The trash talk beforehand is fun but everyone knows it’s just a game. No wonder soccer is the official sport of Earth. I get a little more into it every year. #sports #soccer #football #WorldCup #WorldCup

  I think I speak for all middle-aged hetero cis white males when I say why does he call himself Bad Bunny? Is that wordplay in Spanish? Will the halftime show have subtitles? When will Puerto Rico tire of being a colony, remove the yoke of the imperialists, and vote for either statehood or independence?

  New hams, do you have mic fright? Key up on the Worldwide talkgroup. You might wind up in a pileup and… okay, maybe that’s not the best advice. Effective, but not the best. #AmateurRadio #HamRadio #DMR #Brandmeister

  Posting this before the #basketball #FinalFour is over. Know what I hate about #basketball and #football? The best teams get one game to prove their worth at each level. Baseball and hockey have #playoffs. You get a best-of-N to prove that you’re worthy. One bad game probably won’t end your season. In pro sports, you can try again next year. In college sports, sorry, you graduated; have fun working in insurance. And yes, I’ll say it: single-elimination is why the #SuperBowl sucks. It’s either...
