Seeing Logano, Bell, Larson, Elliott, and Blaney running Top 5 at the @nascar.com All-Star Race is a crazy good Top 5 to watch in this track. NASCAR got this one right.

I thought growing up a @neworleanssaints.bsky.social fan would’ve prepared me to be a #Leafs fan. I was wrong.

Just FYI… 🇺🇸 friends of mine in the building for the 🇺🇸 vs 🇨🇦 game are saying that a lot of Americans around them are singing along with the Canadian national anthem.

Something hit me today for the first time since becoming a dad. Growing up, I heard my mom say, “We have to wait until after payday” all the time. Even for necessities. All the time. I’ve never had to say that once to our kids. I’ve worked hard but even more fortunate. It hit me pretty hard.

I am not a huge golf fan, but I’m enjoying this TGL take on the sport. But Marty Smith and his bougie, coifed redneck schtick ruins every show he is on. How did that hack get the gig representing everyone south of the Mason Dixon on ESPN? He’s actively atrocious

I f*cking love Charles Barkley: “They are All-Stars not just because they play great offense but also because they play great defense.” Without missing a beat, Chuck wryly says: “Not all of ‘em.”

Stop me if you’ve heard this before: Ricky Stenhouse, Jr ruins a @NASCAR race I saw it coming. You could see it a mile away. Told my wife the 47 is going to cause a wreck trying to block. Within two laps, it happened. Garbage driver.

The Daytona 500 is about to go green! So glad @nascar.com’s back! I can’t believe I’m saying this: I hope Kyle Busch takes the 🏁

I grew up about 20 minutes from the Gulf of Mexico, in the southwest corner of Louisiana. It will always be the Gulf of Mexico. FWIW, people back home - for the most part - are still calling it that, too. And think the “Gulf of America” is dumb and pointless.

We’ve a combined household. I am 🇺🇸 and my wife is 🇨🇦, living in Canada. Three kids with dual citizenship. We’re tuned into this hockey game. I get the boos for the anthem. I do. I’m as down on the US right now as anyone, but My kids wondered why it was okay to boo one anthem and not the other. 🤷

In the scope of all things “tariffs” this is minuscule thing… but, place around here carries catfish from Louisiana and Mississippi. They haven’t these past few weeks because of tariffs and speculation, so they aren’t buying any. Which means I can’t get my catfish which is 100% trivial. Still…

Today at school, my wife had to barricade a door for an hour while a grade 3 girl screamed at them through the door, “fuck you!” And called her an “evil bitch!” and more. She and another girl threatened to “punch [her] fucking stomach!” and more. Superintendent was on campus and did nothing.

I am an 🇺🇸 living in 🇨🇦 It is absolutely insane that we are having to boycott 🇺🇸 products. An American boycotting American products because Trump has no clue how to govern. Only how to punish out of petulance. WTF.

King Cake Season is upon us! Living in Toronto, there’s only one option: make my own. Here’s last year’s effort. I’m more cook than baker, but this one pleased me. And everyone else in the house.

Sam Darnold and Jared Goff are who we thought they were.

Pretty proud of this here roux. (Rendered beef tallow from the 4-bone Prime Rib Roast I did for Christmas. I’m going to use it for a meatball fricassee tomorrow, enough for 60 meatballs)
