HA, not with Haskins. Let me ask this. How do you expect us to believe there has been a culture change? A player gets caught the day of a loss at a strip club/party.No mask.Risks players health With the playoffs on the line. You start that player. He stinks. And you keep him in..

News Flash! I wanted to run an ad campaign to promote this tweet, but @Twitter rejected it as "political." In other words, @Twitter claims to be for Net Neutrality - but not when a view is expressed contrary to their views on Net Neutrality! Can you believe it was rejected?
Don't Regulate the Internet as a Public Utility! Public utility regulation would be harmful and counterproductive, suppressing investment and innovation. @FCC @AjitPaiFCC @mikeofcc @DigitalLiberty @EvanS_FCC @mobilefuture @IIABroadband @ProfDanielLyons conta.cc/3dxXZpe

The #FCC released its latest report on #Internet Access and it shows continued progress. Almost 70% of fixed #broadband connections exceed 25Mbs, including the 38% that exceed Mbps. The data is as of Dec. 2017, so most likely significantly understated. docs.fcc.gov/public/attachme…

Puerto Rico is one of the most corrupt places on earth. Their political system is broken and their politicians are either Incompetent or Corrupt. Congress approved Billions of Dollars last time, more than anyplace else has ever gotten, and it is sent to Crooked Pols. No good!....

A thread (brief, I promise) about what's going on this morning.
Today, in Congress, #SubCommTech (the Subcommittee on Communications and Technology of @EnergyCommerce, the House Committee on Energy and Commerce) is "marking up" the so-called #SaveTheNet Act. [Thread]

Anything that gives us data on broadband access is a good thing. For years we have relied on data that has been massaged by dodgy approaches to the unit of analysis. So if @USTelecom wants to partner up with @FCC, that's great, but the devil will be in the methodology details.
"A critical part of knowing how to focus our efforts, is to know where our efforts are needed. We need to know where connectivity is, and where it isn't." @FCC Chairman @AjitPaiFCC discusses #broadband mapping at USTelecom's #MapBroadband forum

How true!
“The notion that video bundled with broadband is necessary to reduce churn is just not true anymore,” Craig Moffett speaking on Cable’s evolution from video to connectivity. #WEC19 #NCTCWEC19 #NCTCWEC

So other Presidents used a national emergency declaration, you say? Here is some history: apnews.com/03d60f47b89d49139…

This is Prosecco. She doesn’t mind bath time as long as you hold her steady. Likes to let the water run over her feets. 14/10 I love her so much

I've long argued that the "public interest" doctrine under which the @FCC reviews proposed mergers has been abused because of its vagueness. But I've never imagined it to be so indeterminate as to encompass @FCC considering which hotels applicants' CEOs stayed in! Wow! @b_fung

Changing stories of @realDonaldTrump team:
-No contacts with Russia
-Some contacts but only about adoption
-Lots of contacts but no crimes
-Crimes, but no collusion
-Collusion, but Trump didn't know
Based on this progression, the next defense is "it's technically not treason."
Rudy Giuliani to @ChrisCuomo: “I never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. I have not. I said the president of the United States,” adding that Trump “didn’t commit a crime.”
