🚨OVERTIME 🚨

Losing legends… Today, Saint Louis lost Bobby Plager, a hockey great. I am glad he got to hoist the cup and share it with his teammate and late brother before his passing. Hey Buddy, we’ll miss you.

Also, fans of cinema lost Jessica Walter today. Depending on your generation, you might know her from Arrested Development as Lucille Bluth, or, if you’re an elder millennial like me, you might remember her from PCU. Older readers may remember her from many, many other films or shows. But however you remember her, know that she is scowling down at all of us today.

#RIP.

I disagree with Jen about "excels," if only because it was about as good as Biden usually is (and he's not a great speaker generally), but it was a solid presser full of actual answers, and these days that's a home run. But the media today - whew, not a good day.

There were 30 reporters in the room. 20 didn't get called on. There were many more who wanted to ask questions, myself included, who could not get into the room because of Covid restrictions.

PRETTY GLARING to walk up to the podium with an approved list of media to call on -- and leave off Fox News and Peter Doocy.

Whitlock is no spring chicken, but is just acting in bad faith here.
