Greetings! Just in time for this week’s kickoff of the NFL season, The Action Network has revealed the presidential preferences of 3,000 football fans on a team-by-team basis.  According to the popular sports betting news outlet, the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts have the Trumpiest fans.  Sixty-two percent of all surveyed fans said they plan to vote for The Donald.  The Phoenix Cardinals and New Orleans Saints also have a majority pro-Trump fan base. However, 61% of the Baltimore Ravens supporters are in the Kamala Harris camp, followed by the New York Jets (54%), Philadelphia Eagles (54%), and Detroit Lions (54%).  Meanwhile, half of New York Giants fans say they’d vote for Harris.  Wondering why Jets fans are more pro-Kamala than those who root for the Giants….Over the sleepy holiday weekend when there wasn’t much earth-shaking political news, the NY Times published my favorite article over the three-day period with a searing and much overdue takedown of the lowly penny.

We’re going to need all the rest we can get to face the next 68 days till November election. See you in September. …If you keep reading, I’ll keep Righting.  Howard
