MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

My take on Apple TV’s “Your Friends and Neighbors” is that it’s a fun show with fun actors you don’t mind spending some time with.

Also, it’s a perfect example of shows needing a sports consultant. Because there’s no way that guy played for the Knicks, was an All-Star, and won an NBA Championship.

Week after week “Hacks” proves itself to be the funniest and best show on television.

I hope they never stop making this. I could watch it forever.

I was named after Joe Carter, who hit the World Series winning home run for the Blue Jays in 1993.

Here’s a photo of Joe and I hanging out at Skydome:

FC Cincinnati is celebrating AAPI Night this weekend & I would like to tell you the story of some supporters.

One of those stories being Roman Yang, who was named after Roman Celentano. As I was named after an athlete as well I feel particular kinship to his story:

Good news everyone, the clock in my car is back to being correct this morning.

Before I get the FC Cincinnati action going tonight, a reminder, Go Billikens

Like, can't knock the hustle. And many other notable TV anchors and reporters are featured in this while reading specific 'show relevant' details.

I'm sure you can knock out a show or two worth of scripts in like, a Sunday afternoon, but it got me thinking about what kind of fee that's gotta run.

I'm watching Zero Day on Netflix while I've been home sick (it's whatever) & something stood out to me.

How many days a year does Wolf Blitzer work doing "the news" for TV/movies? He does dozens of hits w/ way too many specific details for this show & he's always the guy it seems for other things.

They sent Michelle Kwan out there as a human shield…I feel genuinely bad for her.

Raye, also spectacular. I was not familiar with your game but I am glad I am now.

Major League Soccer’s best signing this winter window has been Doechii to that promotional deal.

My Column:

Luciano Acosta has rejoined and has begun training with the club today in Clearwater, FL.

Per @carterchapley.bsky.social

Working on it!

Fair

If I had an Academy Award ballot I’d vote Dune 2 for Best Picture then scribble out the best Director category and write in Dennis.

Then do the same for supporting actor with Denzel.

Others I’m passionate about are The Wild Robot, Conclave, and then Civil War being snubbed.

The Detroit Lions have me saying things like “let’s get a stop boys” out loud while I’m all alone and it’s incredibly embarrassing.

Six years ago today we met Marleau. He’s been sleeping on a soft surface ever since.

I use America in quotes because I mean North America but needed the characters

There will/should be a 'Hollywood' The Tragically Hip movie one day and American's may same the same thing about Gord as they're saying about Robbie.

To which I'll be thoroughly confused and outraged...like my British friends are now parts now.

Similarly, maybe it's because I'm Canadian and there are so so so many music act that just, for whatever reason, don't make it down to the United States that I somewhat relate to this whole "idk who that is" take.

But it does challenge the form slightly of the BioPic genre, and it promotes/invites filmmakers to think of presenting stories in a new and interesting way rather than a (now) by-the-numbers formula. The Pharrell Williams Lego movie does something similar.

I think that's good.

There are plenty of reasons to not see a movie. It is incredibly expensive to go to the theatre & I don't blame anyone who doesn't. You have limited spending power & I appreciate spending on what you're sure will get ROI.

It's also not as if this movie in specific is some perfect, must see flick.
