Dear tv and radio producers. Thankyou for the invitation. But, no, I do not want to appear on your show to defend the idea that I am English, after 50 years of living and working here, because the increasingly feral right want to turn this into a "debate" and you cannot see how you're being played

Not kicking the FG there is absolutely baffling. At this point it is possessions, not points that are crucial.

Crucial 4th & 3 and you don’t even have CeeDee Lamb on the field?

This is a positive development, full stop. Anti-racism norms matter, elite cues on anti-racism norms matter, a broad political consensus on anti-racism norms matter so a strong signal from the leader of a party which has been blurring red lines lately is good news.

1 carry for Taylor after 3 drives is a fireable offense. #Colts #ForTheShoe

Not a regular occurrence, but both times my wife has been giving birth someone in the OR has politely asked ‘What are you having?’ ‘A baby, I hope’ I have replied.

Steichen’s play calling in key situations is really awful. Could have done with some of those conservative run plays he called last week right there. Take the FG at worst, go up by 9 with less than 3 mins left! #Colts #ForTheShoe

I don’t mind both of these decisions, it’s the playcalling that leads you to be 4th & 8 that I hate.

Ben Rathe @benrathe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Heck of a game, but I just don’t get being aggressive enough to call that Treadwell play and then just turtling up with those running plays. #Colts #ForTheShoe

I love the aggression on the long ball to Treadwell. I hate everything after that. The whole ground knew Taylor was getting the ball, so obviously you end up in 3rd & 12. #Colts #ForTheShoe

010

Ben Rathe @benrathe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

This 3rd & 12 to start the 4th feels like the ball game. Give this up and you’re likely down two scores with no evidence you can get a stop #Colts #ForTheShoe

Ben Rathe @benrathe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I *know* it’s Mahomes, but this isn’t even challenging for them. They’re just casually marching down the field. It’s embarrassing D #Colts #ForTheShoe

Ben Rathe @benrathe.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I know it’s Mahomes, but you have to get a stop at some point if you’re going to win the game. #Colts #ForTheShoe

Ben Rathe @benrathe.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

That is an absolutely absurd decision. Johnson doesn’t touch him, and he is never getting the ball in a million years. He doesn’t even try and move for it. #EFC #UTFT

This is something you cannot repeat enough: what makes America so much more unequal than European countries isn't the wealth held by billionaires (Europe has those too). It is the wealth held by the upper echelon of the professional classes. Lawyers, doctors, even some journalists...

Yes! We end up rewatching Brooklyn 99, Parks & Rec etc because nothing nowadays seems to replicate that easy watching comedy.

How is a short of the goal line shovel pass to John Bates your playcall in that situation?!

There is a lot to criticise Everton over in this window, but you can’t really account for your main target changing his mind at midnight after he’s been at your training ground all day. #EFC #UTFT

The year is 2046. The day is deadline day. Everton have failed to sign a right back after a move for Kenny Tete (50) has collapsed for the 21st straight year. #EFC #UTFT

Ben Rathe @benrathe.bsky.social · 31/08/2026

This is all looking far too positive for Everton at the moment which means the Tete deal is going to fall through or Myko will tear his ACL 2 minutes after the window closes. Possibly both. #EFC #UTFT

It is genuinely impressive to build a recommendation that bad. You could honestly vibe code a better one.

Agree on pacing - but plenty of shows need a bit of time to work that out. They were denied that because everyone* lost their mind over lesbian witches who could use the force. *Aforementioned babies

Yes, Andor escaped it largely. But Rise of Skywalker was an abomination because it was trying to please a fanbase that objected to Last Jedi, and they got The Acolyte cancelled because they are toddlers.

Ben Rathe @benrathe.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

The Star Wars fandom is the absolute worst for this IMO - they have collectively ruined both the sequel trilogy and interesting TV shows because they are fundamentally babies (and also Disney is terrified of offending them)

Nolan wanted to cast her as Athena, and asked Tom if he’d ask her. So it was less ‘go for’ and more ‘read it again, and this is you’
