The Clydesdales win with everyone else playing for second
A Clydesdale. A horse farm. A prodigal son runs to daddy. I'm not crying. You're crying. Budweiser still delivers the best of the best in Super Bowl commercials. That 2013 baby Clydesdale storyline is tough to top. Lots of other advertisers vie to generate amplified attention through clever ads placed in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl. Walter the Cat is America's newest commercial star. The amazingly hardy cat stuns onlookers while his Chevy truck owner daddy can't understand why people are so intrigued. The guy just wants people to notice his tricked out truck. Chevy's Walter the Cat series is a hit. Here's the newest one. Enjoy this delightful assortment of clever messaging. Definitely some more talent here. For background, let's visit with

Jack “Goose” Givens reflects on his mom’s fears as he was recruited to play basketball for Kentucky in the 1970s
University of Kentucky All-American Jack "Goose" Givens, who also played in the NBA and eventually transitioned to sports broadcasting, joined me on 840WHAS for a wide-ranging interview. We are both self-proclaimed nerds who attended UK at the same time. We dove into his recruitment by Kentucky and the racial challenges it posed for him and his mother. Givens grew up in Lexington where he "never thought I'd have a chance to play" for the Wildcats. Jack also discussed the intensity of playing for a hard-boiled coach in Joe B Hall, and how their relationship changed after Hall sought Givens' advice during his broadcast years. Givens led the 1978 Kentucky Wildcats to an NCAA National Championship, scoring 41 points in the Cats defeat

Wanting the state to silence one's adversaries is pervasive across time and culture -- that's why the 1st Am banned it -- but until recently, people were embarrassed to explicitly advocate it. But in US liberal culture, censorship is now so normalized that this is no longer odd: https://t.co/UBtyY7jt92 β Glenn Greenwald (@ggreenwald) January 9, 2022 Not long after Judd Apatow tweeted his support for censorship of Fox News, he deleted the message.
