What A Revolting Day This Turned Out To Be

August 22, 2026 - 02:19

The morning started well enough. A solid workout, a quick run through the grocery store, and then a late lunch that actually felt healthy. I sat down with my laptop, ready to catch up on the day's news, particularly anything about the Cardinals. That is when the mood shifted completely.

It turns out the London Johnson era, brief as it was, is already over. Just like that. No long goodbye, no drawn out speculation. One day he is the story, the next he is a footnote. It is the kind of news that makes you put down your fork and just stare at the screen for a minute.

You never really get used to how fast things change in sports. One afternoon you are reading about a new direction, a fresh start, a young coach with a plan. The next afternoon you are reading about how that plan is already scrapped. It is not even about being surprised anymore. It is more about the whiplash of it all.

So much for a calm, quiet day. The lunch is still on the table, but the appetite is gone. Not because of the food, but because of the reminder that nothing stays stable for long. You plan your day, you think you have it figured out, and then the news cycle decides otherwise. What a revolting day this turned out to be.
