There is something about a beautiful sunrise, and a fresh edition of Screencaps, the morning after a historic performance from Panthers QB Haynes King in the Hall of Fame Game. If you didn’t receive a jolt of energy over what we all saw last night from Canton, Ohio, you’re hopeless.
That might go down as the greatest Hall of Fame game of the 21st century, maybe ever. You had King completing 21-of-34 for 180 yards and rushing for the game-winning touchdown, but on the other side, you had Carson Beck slinging it 15-of-19 for 188 and a touchdown. It was a classic backup QB matchup that Cris Collinsworth will be talking about the rest of his life.
Some are even saying last night’s game was more entertaining than the Super Bowl. Look at these poll numbers.
PANTHERS RALLY PAST CARDINALS IN HALL OF FAME GAME TO OPEN NFL PRESEASON
Quickly…let’s move along to what’s going on out in California where the Dallas Cowboys cheerleaders are hunkered down for one of the most important training camps in DCC history. As I’ve written extensively, the Miami Dolphins cheerleaders are charging fast in what is developing into a legitimate rivalry with the DCC.
Based on my research, the Cowboys cheerleaders have worked the past seven days. There have been stressful photoshoots. There have been on-field dance routines for the fans. There have been camps for kids that the ladies are required to run. That’s right, no days off. If you thought these ladies just go to the beach and then show up Week 1 ready to roll, you’re nuts.
This is a look of a squad that knows its dominance on pop culture is in danger.

So is this Bucs fan.
Doesn’t that maniac in Wisconsin want to end Thanksgiving? If they’re willing to take away Thanksgiving, you know damn well they’ll try to ban sororities. This cannot stand!
– John in Milford, MI emails: I’m sure you saw that Muslim communist Abdul El-Sayed won the Democratic primary for the US Senate here in Michigan. I wasn’t surprised based on the voters I saw at the polls – lots of blue hairs with nose rings and old cat ladies that look like they hate normies, and therein lies the problem.
The leftist kooks always turn out en masse for their candidates, even during the off-year elections. We have already seen similar situations with guys like Zohran Mamdani in New York who should never serve in higher office win major elections because their people showed up. If we want to keep kooks like El-Sayed out of office we need to show up too.
.– Noah is one of those people. He emails: I note you do not address why, if Tétart is such a “phenom,” she is playing in France’s second-tier league.
Kinsey: These morons think I’m some fly-by-night Internet writer who hasn’t watched hours of dubbed French TV coverage of Tetart. Let me explain something to Noah. Julie Tetart is playing in the French second division because Julie just suddenly popped up on the scene a year ago. Remember how Lia Thomas just suddenly popped up on the Penn women’s swimming team and then started breaking every short distance record in Penn women’s swimming history?
This is how trans in sports works. The transG slides in and suddenly dominates. About 18 months ago, Tetart connected with an agent who shopped Tetart to Ligue 2. Nobody knew anything about Tetart, but there are indications that the Monaco owner knew the players is a transG. He is on record saying his ultimate goal is to make Ligue 1, the top division, and he doesn’t care how that happens.
Relegation is part of the French league. As teams flounder in Ligue 1, Ligue 2 teams move up.
Enter the muscle that the owner needs.
Now, Monaco, with Tetart, is one of the top teams in Ligue 2 and on the verge of making it to Ligue 1. I specifically asked Tetart about signing with a higher-level team. Why hasn’t it happened? We’re talking about Ligue 2’s leading scorer and rebounder. “Because I want to get promoted with Monaco, and keep developing my skills even more,” Tetart told me.
Promoted means making Ligue 1. Trust me, I’m on high alert for French women’s basketball this fall. The season starts at the end of the month.
– Dan from AZ fired off this message: Has this Ryan McGee guy ever driven a pickup truck? I find it way easier to back mine into a spot rather than pulling in just for turning radius reasons.What I don’t get about the people who complain about others backing into spots is this: don’t they realize that if you pull into a spot the conventional way, you then eventually have to BACK OUT of that spot when you leave?
I get stuck in parking lots waiting for people to back out of their spot far more often than waiting for someone to back into their spot. Plus, backing out of a spot has added inherent blindspots that you don’t have when backing into a spot, so more problems are created i.e. pedestrians or other cars that you just can’t see when trying to back out in a busy lot. Much safer to pull forward out of a spot when it’s time to leave even with all the cameras these vehicles have now.In the construction industry, we call this First Move Forward.
– Chris A. reacts: I find it is better to park front-in at Costco. Several reasons:
– Merchandise loading is much easier when the trunk is readily available
-Same with the doors
-The beware beep alerting one of oncoming traffic as one is trying to pull out of one’s spot does not exist when one backs into a spot. Good luck seeing that pickup hauling ass in the parking lot over your long hood while you’re stuck between two Navigators.
I’m all in on back-in parking at sporting events and everyday situations. Costco’s parking lot is a different animal.
– Scott in Florida tells me: I was recently talking to a friend of mine who has a 5 year old and a 12 year old. She informed me that they are not teaching history in public schools. That they have replaced that with arts and language. I cant believe thats true. Why the hell would they not teach history in public schools? I was curious if any other screencappers have heard about this?
Now, Joe, you normally to a good job of putting good looking ladies on Screencaps, usually. But WTF was today with Martha Stewart? I almost threw up in my mouth. Was that some sort of joke? Were you temporarily insane? Were you sipping on Grandmas cough syrup this morning? Martha Stewart should never, I repeat NEVER be part of the ladies of Screencaps!
Kinsey: I use Martha Stewart to test who’s scrolling down the post. I thought more you would comment on Christie Brinkley trying to be an IG model at 72.
– Alex got in on this school subject: My kids are now grown and moved out but I feel for you on all the school asks. Those lists have been there for the last 20 years and they are annoying. The other thing that is annoying is all the fundraisers. I always wished they had an opt-out plan where I give them $100 per kid at the start of school and then they don’t ask me about supplies, fundraisers, fun runs or book fairs. I dont want to sell candy or discount cards or shop for supplies just take my $100 and let me know when teacher conferences are.
Kinsey: I hear you, Alex. My favorite is where the school asks the student to give them 10 emails of friends and family so they can win a special recess day. I should run for school board just to ban these practices.
– Travel Ball Hardo Chris B. in Houston says he’s paid cleaners: No maid service for my kids away at college. My daughter & her roommates keep their house squeaky clean – and its decorated nicely. Looks like a model home. My son moved out of the dorm in May – definitely not a model dorm. He & his 3 roomies did not have any sort of maid service, and it was gnarly. We did hire a cleaning crew when they moved out. I think we paid them a few hundred bucks – split 4 ways – and it was worth every penny. Those guys would never have done anything close to what the cleaners did, and we got all of our deposit back.
Kinsey: Hold up, YOU PAID THE CLEANING SERVICE after your son and his boys destroyed the dorm? I need clarification. Did the boys get on their knees to clean any of the mess they created?
.Don’t worry, they’re on the road. The Ts never stop. This week, they stopped by Allenspark, Colorado to see the Chapel on the Rocks:

And that’s it for this Friday morning. I have a video to work on. I spent Thursday talking to a body language expert who has a very interesting career training the Secret Service and FBI. More from Abbie hopefully later today.
Let’s get after it. Go work a half-day and then go golfing. So live life.
