put it in the Louvre

I met Jimmy briefly in 2009 at the Blogs With Balls conference. Sports blogs were on the rise.

It's sad to think how few of the people in that room are still in the business. Jimmy still is, and so am I. An honor to be on.

He caught me on my heels on a few questions!

The Big Ten did not like this article when we initially published it but we are not a trade pub.

Our audience is sports fans, and BIG+ is just straight up an inconvenience, bad deal, and a bad experience that lags behind what other power conferences have in place.

I’d be so angry if I was a big name basketball or football player and got dragged not long ago for impermissible benefits that was a few hundred bucks and now college wrestlers are making six figures.

So many people never cashed in and it’s all because of when they were born.

I was totally joking about this and now an editor at the Dispatch has made it a whole op Ed.

It was! Thanks for the heads up here

This was Wes Anderson *as hell.*

What a tribute to an Italian legend

You’d be amazing at it though

LinkedIn sent me a notification that there were a ton of jobs I was a perfect for which I clicked out of curiosity.

My abilities as a digital media publisher and editor seemingly will only lead me to one place.

Columbus thought it had made it nationally by getting a Love is Blind Season only for it to be the only season not listed by the name of the city it is being filmed in.

The race to be in the Theranos/WeWork doc or series as a journalist is heating up!

Authority without crediting people has become commonplace.

Working on something now on original content being routinely repackaged on Linkedin, X, or TikTok and presented as someone's unique and original content.

Be original, or just credit someone.

It's crazy.

Screenshotted the tweet.

Cropped out the author of the originating tweet

Cropped out the link to the article

Removed the reference to the publication that published the article ( @frontofficesports.bsky.social)

This is how we internet in 2026 I guess!

Absolutely nailed it.

Looking forward to my Alma mater somehow fucking up what should be an easy response.

Watching Olympics locally in Columbus, you get about one Wexner medical center commercial at an hour.

If we are never going to rename it, feels counter productive to put it front and center while he gets dragged in the Epstein files.

Why advertise a sullied brand?

I will not be taking any questions that potential subcribers have because frankly, I can't really say confidently I know the answers to some of your questions

This was well done by @jacobfeldman.bsky.social (it's very helpful.

But also.... maybe leagues and networks shouldn't make this so confusing to the point where a full 16-box flow chart is required to figure out how to watch baseball.

Spin is working with a lot of water carrying.

Yes, those who have Unlimited or auto-renewal are not impacted.

But ESPN+MLB built quite a mousetrap for new customers.

If you're ignoring this and going along with the spin, it's clear who you write for, and it isn't fans.

Whole lot going on in this article

Over the weekend, I saw Come From Away by a local community theater company that renovated an old adult theater that had sat empty for quite a while.

Best thing I've done in 2026.

Highly recommend the show/the story in general, and as always, supporting local arts and media.

There are a ton of random accounts racking up engagement with fake ratings data specifically conjured up to confirm people's existing biases.

This has become a billion-dollar industry as X and Meta let you just make up stuff and then get paid for the engagement.

All predictable and very stupid!

I have decided that next year, when they announce the Super Bowl halftime show artist, I am going to make being mad about who they pick my entire personality.

The culture wars are ripping families apart!

Kicker Super Bowl MVP?

I am setting the over/under of time on Fox News talking about the halftime show at 7.5 hours tomorrow.

This is a great piece. Loved this anecdote.
