I love the NFL and everything about football.
I hate the fact domestic violence is so prevalent and our society frequently turns a blind black eye.
Those two statements are not mutually exclusive.

Observing the calls being dispatched this weekend certainly proved a lack of common sense, civility and what a tender box we truly are in as fireworks and careless acts sparked additional wildfires, homes and even commercial business fires this Fourth of July weekend.

After 5 years hosting sports talk radio and “Buehler’s Day Off,” I’m...
