She's like a centuries-old tree that's been struck by lightning a few times. Takes a lickin and keeps on tickin ... we hope.

Kind of like any business. Journalism happens to be a lightning rod these last years so algorithms are influencing media illiterates. My message -- be a savvy consumer and know what media role serves what purpose.

No one is shouting down criticism. I'm saying rejecting an entire news outlet because its leaders make terrible decisions or some journalists do bad work is not an answer. The paradox of journalism outlets is they encompass good and bad work at the same time. So embrace the good and reject the bad.

those of us laid off from Teen Vogue were really fortunate to complete our fundraising goal — the laid-off staffers at VIBE deserve the same support, as Black media outlets and journalists continue to be targeted and discriminated against in “austerity” measures

What about people who bet on college baseball? Or non-rev sports?

IMO, Bluesky has been more like old Twitter since MLB playoffs. I hope it keeps growing.

Wrote a few weeks ago I couldn't believe others didn't jump on that the minute they saw the ACC.

Every sport should do what the ACC does, allowing viewers to listen in on the replay review process. Even on the obvious plays, the transparency is so nice.

Same. Which is what makes leagues' "concerns" with gambling nothing more than cute. #snarkisreal

I have for the short term. There's so much to watch there, though. I don't want to be tempted to never read a book again.

Bianchi: College football in Florida is so bad, freaking USF is carrying the torch! The decline of the Sunshine State’s “Big Three” programs — Florida, FSU and Miami — began with arrogance.

It's called evolution. Growth. Market correction after complacency? Bulls welcome all to the 🏈 bandwagon. @orlandosentinel.com www.orlandosentinel.com/2025/11/14/g...

As social media grows more toxic, college athletes ask themselves: Is it worth it? Building a social media brand has helped enrich players. But constant harassment — fueled in part by sports gambling — has come to outweigh potential income. Now, staying "regular" is the goal.

Really well-done article here discussing how social media affects college athletes and how the toxicity is causing some athletes to step away from it—coaches too.

Pitt’s Cam Corhen and Jeff Capel were both interviewed for this story.

Curry's shoes through Under Armour will continue as planned through 2026, but he and his company Curry Brand are entering sneaker free agency.
