I have few peers in bona fides as a Bama fan, watching my first game in 1966. I was caught off guard when Saban retired but not surprised.

My father kindled my love of Alabama football. He took me to that Iron Bowl at Legion Field in Bham 60 years ago. He met and shook hands with Bear Bryant. Since he passed two years ago, I now watch the games alone. That hasn't tempered my fandom. Not one bit.

GL means gift link. Israel Daramola's review of his ESPN hagiography is incisive and insightful. Nothing like the overlong film or its subject or the cult-of-personality platform that produced it.

I dedicate this to all the Deep South families that are pure Scots-Irish except for the Creek or Cherokee princess that married one of them. Like mine.

Needless to say, not this Bama fan. The timing is curious. Bryce has no fault in this but where was he in previous years when he was considered a draft bust.

There's a lot that isn't public and major players with conflicting priorities preparing to act. There are no contracts yet, as ChrisO reports. Will the US oil companies buy this? The government? It's summer fuel with winter approaching. Exported from where? How will Zelenskyy react to this?

1/ Trump's fuel deal with Russia will have two big advantages for Russian refinery operators, according to a Russian energy expert: it will help them to fund their own anti-drone defences, and also help to clear out their stocks of summer diesel in time for winter. ⬇️

robert500223.bsky.social@robert500223.bsky.social

Martsinkovich conveniently omits to mention the damage done to Russian refineries since 2023, damage that is still relentlessly ongoing. So the situation today is not the same as three years ago. Also DT does not ”need diesel”, he needs the price of diesel to fall. This ‘deal’ will not achieve that.

The inclusion of such a cowardly moderated figure in this campaign signals that the establishment Democrats are extorting him with their funding. Rahm Immanuel is radioactive and if and when voters see his toxic neocon brand in a primary, he will get the humiliation he so richly deserves.
