[NU Sports] football and brains

[johnadeg at comcast.net]

We've traded a guy who doesn't really believe in much for a guy in the White House that we don't know much about but who has demonstrated  a penchant for hanging around with some pretty bad characters.  That ain't good. When I was in the CIC one of the things we learned was not to judge people by what they say but rather by what they do.  Buyer's remorse is about to take hold.  That is it for politics.
