If you need a break from NFL Draft talk, i wrote 2,000 words comparing NFL quarterbacks to pro wrestlers in honor of WrestleMania.
It’s fun, it’s silly, and I spent way too much time trying to find perfect comps. Enjoy.

Gonna become the wrestling fan who hates the WWE and refuses to give them money while struggling with an obsessive addiction to their flavored wine coolers.
BREAKING: Over 150 veterans protest the war in the United States Capitol building. The largest veterans protest against the war in Iran.
No, we are not doing “Jewish deicide” on Bluesky, the Nostra aetate settled this decades ago.
The Roman authorities, with the support of local oligarchs, killed Jesus. There’s no “blood guilt on all Jewish people” (or on Italians).
The Adversus Judaeos bull is literally 1600 years out of date.
I ranted about the anti-consumer implications of his comments elsewhere, but that aside, it's an odd time for Shapiro to be grasping ownership of WWE creative decisions in the shadow of a historically reviled WrestleMania. I postulated he doesn't strictly care about fan opinion, but is he aware?

In today's "that escalated quickly news", the eldest had a day off school so we went to look at a castle. And then another castle. And then a third castle. And a couple of Roman forts. And a stone circle. And then finally a walk on a Lakeland fell.
Deeply silly behaviour.

Mark Zuckerberg's G650 Took off from Mountain View, California, United States.
LT. GEN. HERTLING: Ukraine is very proud nation fighting for its territorial integrity and sovereignty. And anyone who suggests that they should give up territory to get a peace deal is out of their mind.
And good Lord, isn’t that what United States fought for 250 years ago?
WWE wrestlers being treated like zoo animals should cause them to push back. Instead, they accept it. Imagine if the Jags had Trevor Lawrence fly himself to the Raiders game without hotel security? AEW proves wrestlers can be treated like humans, but too many just want the fed.
WWE has their guys say specific phrases in interviews to massage SEO around scandals, like when Cody Rhodes called their developmental system a "grooming ground"
A deep dive on the history of our Roman-inspired republican symbolism and why Trump's desecrations of it are worse than merely being cringe-inducing.
From the river today, a lark with a good friend, Peter, who has taught me how to find whetstones. Used for millennia to sharpen blades, this particular example is probably post medieval, found near a famous old fish market. Like Roman whetstones, this is made from sandstone, rich in quartz 1/
It's 1230pm the day after WrestleMania & there is no longer any coverage on the ESPN dot com homepage. So, not quite the "Super Bowl of Pro Wrestling" like they said all last week. How badly does ESPN want WWE to go away at this point??
