The worst people you know are suddenly experts on genetics and human biology. Again.

Really gutted for the talented sports writers and storytellers who lost their jobs today. The WaPo sports desk was an institution and everything you hoped and dreamed a sports section would be. There should be nothing but shame for the leadership that allowed this to happen.

I’m trying my best to spend more time on this app. X, the everything app, is an absolute soulless hellscape, but for better or worse, it’s pretty useful for us at AA.

Besides the point, but I’m truly amazed how bad the aggregation has been for this. I’m not sure why I’m surprised β€” maybe because I reported it β€” but these are pretty shameless.

DOJ has since killed this link. This is what was there:

Jason Kelce not seeking second season of late-night show in 2026 Jason Kelce and ESPN will not pursue a second season of "They Call It Late Night" in 2026, Awful Announcing has learned.

Neu News (sorry, I know, I know).

Awful Announcing has learned that ESPN and Jason Kelce won't be seeking a second season of his late-night show in 2026. That doesn't mean the show has been canceled, but Kelce will explore other creative opportunities.

I’m really, really happy for Sam Darnold, but we can acknowledge that it was never going to happen with the Jets and that everything good and bad that’s transpired in his career had led him here.

The NFL has bet on the average fan not giving a shit about this and sadly they were right.

An insane, perfect encapsulation of it all:

The same day Trump’s agents kill a Veterans Affairs ICU nurse in broad daylight, the CEOs of Apple and Amazon join Trump to watch a private screening of a film about his wife directed by an alleged sexual abuser who was seen shirtless in the Epstein Files

Planning to investigate! Just such feckless leadership at a time when Minnesotans need an actual tangible principal.

This is absolute horseshit considering that at the 2021 Cheez-It Bowl all I got was COVID.

While every college football pundit is putting their energy into burying G5 schools, @samneumann.bsky.social sets the record straight about why seperating G5 schools out doesn't solve any of the problems it's percevied to have created.

I really think it's important for these millionaire athletes, none of whom are children, to feel great shame for being interested in Adin Ross to begin with. Mookie Betts, you are 33 years old. You have a wife and children. You should not know who Adin Ross is.

There's this thing that happens to me when national baseball people start weighing in on how the Mets are a DISGRACE, even when I don't necessarily love what the Mets are doing, where like a little WFAN Caller in my brain awakens and seizes the controls and gets really defensive.

I had no issues with letting him, but 3/69 felt like one you could stomach. There's also a chance he just didn't want to be here anymore.

He claimed to me in the YouTube comments (lol) that Mendoza and Hefner weren't on the same page.

Stop telling half of college football they don’t belong As the resident Group of Five guy at Awful Announcing, I see it as my civic duty to stand up for my fellow underdogs. I’m a Temple Owl. I know what it’s like to root for a program that gets dismissed before kickoff. So when I watch the annual November ritual of college football’s gatekeepers Read more...

@seidler.bsky.social I'm sure you guys will probably address this on the pod, but what do you make of Ottavino's criticism of the Mets? Notably absent from this is one, Jeremy Hefner.

What's the point of having independent spotters if they aren't going to pull Sauce Gardner β€” who just returned from a concussion β€” after his head violently bounced off the turf? Player safety, my ass.
