This guy is journalism royalty. His mother, April, was a famous tv reporter in New York City for Channel 6 News.

Reddit is the best social network

Oh god she’s doing it again

Whatever gripes I may have had in the past about TNF, 9:30 AM games or MNF doubleheaders , I’m now fully supportive of all of these things.

The world is often bootyhole and I will take any extra window of football you can give me.

I am retracting my previous tweet after discovering there is a TikTok channel which is just ushers at Ohio State games doing choreographed dances.

The Big 12's last TV deal was a fire drill to ensure they survived vs the Pac 12.

Next TV deal needs to prioritize partnering with 1-2 companies that make them top CFB priority. ESPN has them behind SEC and ACC. FOX, second behind B10.

Can't keep being shuffled to the bottom.

This suddenly feels like we are speed running a Finebaum and ESPN divorce.

Can they get through this season?

This whole thing just kind of came out of nowhere and is snowballing.....quickly.

I watched video from a European news outlet that said social media usage peaked in 2022 and has been trending down since.

Gave me a little optimism.

Then the last 30 seconds said "except in North America, where social media is at all-time highs".

Bleh. We're cooked.

There are four (or perhaps more) WR in the NFL whose first name is Xavier.

Every week a prop bet on total Xavier touchdowns should be a thing.

The Colts and Raiders game is down one punter, one kicker, and one announcer

For many, it's a holiday with Taylor Swift's new album out.

It's interesting to me that some have true fandom for one person (Swift, Trump, Elon, Mr. Beast, Speed, a Paul brother, etc), and some just don't have that at all.

Do you have an individual fandom? If so, who?

Smashing Machine doc is truly great (hence being adapted into a prestige film).

Was miffed to see it not available anywhere to stream with the movie coming out.

Sounds like it will be somewhere in 2026. Was truly one of the better sports docs of that decade.

AA had its second-highest traffic month ever in Sept (nearly 10 million readers).

It is a challenging time for digital media with ad rates down ~30% in 2025 and thus we've had to make some tough decisions.

EXTREMELY proud of the team, who continue to grind very hard and smart.

I read this article this week, and it blew my mind (really made me question how feasible it is to build up a podcast without doing these tricks).

Now I stumble across stuff like this in my feed and do a double take knowing the mechanics and incentives behind these accounts.

depressing

The powers that be realized CFB was 🇺🇸's 2nd favorite sport but it was far from monetized optimally.

Since then- realignment, streaming, playoff expansion, etc.

We're now on the brink of going too far. Going to be a spring sport at some point so it can have games on Sat+Sun.

I am two episodes into Task, and you can’t convince me that the mysterious MZ is not Mark Zuckerberg.

Midlife crisis. The MMA and misinformation slop just wasn’t enough and now he’s moved onto biker gang home invasions.

Mrs. Awful Announcing is taking singing classes and often asks me what new song should she learn.

My two most recent requests (not received well)

🎶The Skyrizi commercial 🎶
🎶Waiting all day for Sunday Night!!! 🎶

My friend told me he got laid off and then texted immediately “You don’t have to think of anything consoling to say I know you well enough don’t worry about it lol”

Damn. My empathy is being called out!

A year after the A's last played in Oakland, I'm curious of are/were a fellow fan, where are you with the team and MLB in general?

Still support them? Still follow them? Moved on entirely?

Enjoying MLB from a national level or just lost a reason to care and follow?

2025 NFL season is the year of blocked field goals and punch-out fumbles.

Theo Von was taping a Netflix special tonight and apparently just absolutely bombed.

Need to delete all my Matt Patricia tweets

This is one we stumbled on and haven't seen reported anywhere, which was surprising.

@60minutes.bsky.social stopped posting on X days after Elon Musk lashed out at them. Posting normally everywhere else but ghosted the platform when attacked. Didn't want to comment on it when asked.

Ohio State travels to Washington tomorrow where they haven't played since 2007 when I had my one and only photographer's field pass and ended up making a tackle on the sideline (I got drilled, he was fine).

I wanted to look up the origin of the term "ratfucking" you couldn't come up with a more believable origin story for it (The USC Greek system).

I legitimately think making college football fans watch Aaron Judge at bats sent some fans to the hospital.

Proud to say I survived not having a medical incident watching a TikTok from a "Movie expert" with over 50k followers that opened with:

"Here is my review of 'One Batter After Another'. I've never seen a PT Anderson movie, and despite all the hype, I thought the trailer looked mid"

Surprisingly and irrationally angry that the mom of one my friends was among the first cuts on Golden Bachelor.

Thought she was a lock for the final eight or so! And thus this now ends me watching and posting about Golden Bachelor.
