Just run with it, Marshawn

We’ve heard that line before: Seattle Seahawks running back Marshawn Lynch makes a guest appearance on the season premier of FXX’s “The League.”

But each time his line cue came up, all he could remember to say was, “I’m just here so I won’t get fined.”

We can recommend the salmon at Ivar’s: Local civic leaders in Miami, home of the Miami Seaquarium, have joined the campaign to free Lolita and return her to the Washington state waters from which she was captured in 1970.

Lolita, if you are able to come home, just a warning that things have changed in the last 45 years. The salmon are a little smaller, the water a little warmer, but we won’t make you jump through hoops for every meal.

Trumped up: Donald Trump defended his latest remarks that Fox News’ Megan Kelly, in challenging him about his insults of women, had “blood coming out of her wherever.” Only a “deviant,” said Trump, would interpret the remark as being anything but a harmless barb.

And if you think Trump, R-He Man Woman Hater’s Club, was implying it was just that time of the month for Kelly, you’re wrong. Period.
