The former actor… comedian… Now the sixth and current president of Ukraine. A few notes first about the man, who seems quickly becoming more… He was a political outsider when announcing his candidacy just over 2 years ago. He was said to be for the people and against the so-

Today is the day! … although not just any day. It’s Super Bowl Sunday! … although not just any Super Bowl. The Cincinnati Bengals are the “home team” for Super Bowl LVI, and there’s something uniquely sweet about the Bengals making it this far. Stay with me for a moment

On Super Bowl week, let’s start here… an aspect that’s very non-Super Bowl-ish and has implications far beyond the gridiron. On Tuesday former Miami Dolphins head coach Brian Flores filed a 58-page class action lawsuit in federal court against the NFL, 3 specific teams, and
