I got my steak and beer. Thanks for the birthday wishes. Year 24 was a good one. A lot of things changed but some things remained the same. God is good. Arkansas football still sucks. The Dolphins still can’t win in cold weather. My wife is still the best. The CFP committee does what it wants with no rhyme or reason. March Madness is still awesome. Other things have changed. NBA teams are taking way more threes this year than last. The CFP is 12 teams now. I’m an uncle, that’s weird. I now host my own radio show for 2 hours a day after 6 years of hard work. I also produce the number 1 sports show in Indiana. My hopes for this year are to continue to grow in my radio career, keep my wife happy, and continue to remember God is good. I’d also like to make enough money to give Arkansas enough NIL to be good at football. Thanks to everyone who’s supported me during this last year. It means the world.

Anthony Richardson appears to be soft. That’s a bigger issue than the accuracy struggles he’s had. Week 6 in the NFL everyone is dealing with something. Michael Pittman Jr. was almost put on IR, and he has a chance at playing. The kid has to toughen up.
Joe Flacco will start for the #Colts today; Anthony Richardson is the emergency QB. Shane Steichen told our @nfloncbs crew Richardson is “very close,” but he wants him to be fully himself -and fully healthy- before getting back out. Flacco got plenty of first team reps this week.
