Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.
- Tucker Carlson Episode 48 with Kid Rock.
- Tucker Carlson Episode 49 with Dana White. Maybe Tucker is angling for holiday bonuses for his staff releasing back to back episodes.
- Dr. Phil on the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and UPenn. Worth a listen.
- Niall Ferguson: The Treason of the Intellectuals. The rise of the new Nazis of the college left.
Some quotes I hope may resonate with you.
"You get paid linearly for analyzing and solving problems and non-linearly for spotting and seizing opportunities." - Shane Parrish
"I'm not afraid of the media. Why should anyone listen to the media? Who are these people? What makes them experts? What have they accomplished?" - Dana White
"There's one thing worse than change and that's the status quo." - John Le Carre
"You have to lower your ideals of freedom if you want to suck on the warm teat of China." - South Park
Think the deal worked out best for all involved - except Jon Gruden because the one franchise that may have had his back in his lawsuit against the NFL now may be thinking, "That SOB cost us Tom Brady!" Gronk in Vegas would have been, to quote Dicky V, "Awesome baby!"
Kudos to Dana White for being able to keep a secret.

Dana White is a hero. His courage and resourcefulness saved his business.
"I'm not afraid of the media. Why should anyone listen to the media? Who are these people? What makes them experts? What have they ever accomplished?... It's easy to criticize from the sidelines when you risk nothing and do nothing." - Dana White
Miscellaneous thoughts and observations.
Not for nothing but under Dana White the UFC has become the most inclusive sport on the planet. Athletes of all colors from various nations are on almost every fight card. There's openly gay fighters and its treated as no big deal. And it is not unusual for women fighters to be the main event. Name another sport that's more inclusive... This is me on an average Sunday morning... Reportedly only 20% of NBA players are registered voters. Even if you bump that number up to account for foreign players who cannot vote in US elections, less than 50% of NBA players are registered to vote. That makes all of their "get out the vote" efforts ring a little hollow - doesn't it?... 5 ways to help independent bookstores during the lockdown... The word "gullet" doesn't get used enough. "Shut your gullet." "He keeps shoveling food down his gullet." Etc... If Mark Cuban really was supportive of racial equality in this country he'd forego his white privilege and sell the Dallas Mavericks to a black owner. Sorry but if Cuban really wants to go by the woke playbook those are the rules...
