Go back and tell your 2015 self that Jacob Rees-Mogg would be trying to talk sense into Tucker Carlson, and the topic would be "Was World War II a good idea?"

With Tony Romo and CBS parting ways, it's worth looking back at the impact his 2017-25 run there had, including on field-to-booth moves, predictive analysis, and contracts. More at Bucholtz Sports Media (free post): andrewbucholtz.com/posts/tony-r...

Hadn't considered the heat factor, but it's a good one. As per the "are people ready" factor, I do think starting the season in the current Week 0 will see some TV boosts, but not on the level some might expect. Could be okay, but I'm skeptical it produces huge audience growth.

Andrew Bucholtz @andrewbucholtz.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

There's a great slate of Week 0 games today, but maybe the last one thanks to a plan to start the whole CFB season early. That has some logic, but may not create huge growth. And I'll miss the uniqueness of Week 0. More at Bucholtz Sports Media (premium post): andrewbucholtz.com/posts/best-w...

CFB's 'Best Week 0 ever' is also likely to be the last one

The 2026 Week 0 has a great lineup of FBS games. But next year, Week 1 may move to Week 0. That stretching may work, but may not create huge growth.

Wake up, babe. The Prime Minister just dropped “hydronym”.

The name Lake Ontario comes from the Wendat word Ontari’io, which, appropriately, means “the lake is beautiful, the lake is big”.

The name is more than 400 years old, predating both the Confederation of Canada and the Declaration of Independence of the United States of America.

We know that America is changing. Their trading relationships, their foreign policies, their national monuments, their hydronyms.

Canadians also know that naming reality means calling it Lake Ontario – then, now and always.

"When the last trumpet sounds the Times will want to check with Gabriel himself, and for the next edition will try to get it confirmed by even Higher Authority" is a delightful line. From Rex Stout's 1962 Nero Wolfe mystery "Gambit," it still resonates today.

The Lakers did not improve in any way that made them $2.5 billion more valuable this year than last. But they might have gone for even more in an open auction. I dive into all the strangeness around this sale at Bucholtz Sports Media (premium post): andrewbucholtz.com/posts/lakers...

Lakers' $12.5 billion sale amidst Mark Walter investigation, a $2.5 billion boost in a year, is a major sports exception to business rules

A team sale price rising $2.5 billion in a year is wild, and breaks many typical business rules. But there's important context to how this happened.
