Gov. Josh Shapiro

I had made this as a reply to another thread. But I thought it may warrant its own.

The more I see and hear from Gov. Shapiro, the more I want to see and hear from him.

I'm sure I have a slew of policy disagreements with him. And I'm not necessarily saying I'd vote for him should he run for POTUS. But I am saying that he seems like the very kind of person and leader we need more of in the country. No vitriol. No cheap inflammatory rhetoric. No sharp elbows. Just pitch perfect in a moral sense.

He strikes such a contrast from what so much of our politics has become -- certainly in the Trump era, but even before that. When he said that the firefighter Trump supporter who was killed at the rally was a hero, I believe he genuinely meant it. We just don't see much of that these days.

I think the country would be well-served by the Dems putting forth more people like him (and others I hold in high esteem like Andy Beshear, Jared Polis) -- as well as the Republicans putting forth more people like Brian Kemp, Glenn Youngkin, and even our own Eric Holcomb (although I'm skeptical that Eric has the chops to go further than he has).

That's a little more promising...

Here's hoping they are wrong about our OL and that I'm wrong about our LB's... If we get unexpected excellence from those two areas we might have an outside shot at something special...

Changing the topic to something a little less contentious …car insurance

So I kind of forgot I’d be paying more insurance when I got a new car. I hate it, but I suppose I have to go insurance shopping. I’ve been with my company for more than 30 years. Is it reasonable to be paying $500 a month insurance on a 2018 Audi? I’ve had a few claims, but a pretty decent driving record. Also, if I choose to pay it off instead of carrying a loan, are there things I can drop to make coverage cheaper?

The Current State of Media

trying to watch the Scottish Open

was interrupted by the press conference about the assassination attempt that refused to say anything about the assassination attempt, after last nights presser that refused to say anything about the assassination attempt, and not one media member said “well, if you can”t talk about the investigation, then why are you having a press conference?”

and the local station just told me I could watch “gavel to gavel” coverage of the Alec Baldwin trial next week.

Workout 3rd hand info

Talked to a buddy down here at Adidas event, that is close enough to program to have spent some time with the coaches the last couple days…

Anyway, he’s hearing (not from the coaches), but through others, that Tucker is looking like the best player on the team right now.

Take that for what it’s worth. We’re used to offseason hype like this. The significance, to me, is that when thinking of this team, Tucker is a guy I often forget about. Usually focusing on Rice, Carlyle, Ballo, Mack, Reneau, etc… if there’s a kid that even might be better than all those guys?… just underscores how good a job Woody did filling the roster at season’s end.

Trump shooting

I guess somebody needs to start a thread about this.

I have some thoughts - about fatalistic rhetoric, our politically-driven emotions, and other things. But I feel like I should wait until we know more about this before airing them here.

All I’ll say for now is that I’m damn glad DJT wasn’t badly injured or killed. That’s the last thing we need right now.

2025 recruiting

Mullins, Sisley, Moreno will be committed separately starting with Mullins after their group visit, then Sisley and concluding with the big fella before or potentially on his birthday, mid-Oct. Tip of the cap with the Adam Howard hiring Woody. Tip of the cap.

After that keep an eye on the Ament and Brown recruitment. Especially Ament.
