I think a real funny podcast would be “Noon Eastern.” And it’s a podcast that covers college football games that kickoff at noon eastern, which is to say teams and matchups WAY down the marquee where the NIL budget is a large cheese pizza.

I hope maybe possibly this is a Woodward/Bernstein moment for modern-day sports journalism. Just maybe @pablo.show will inspire a new wave of sports reporters to hold these very powerful, very rich people accountable. That it's POSSIBLE to do so, and necessary.👏👏

The Heritage Foundation asserts that women never needed sports in the first place. To prove that Title IX has become a tool of “feminist social engineering.” To demonstrate that women don’t need sports and that “clubs, intramurals, and exercise classes” is enough. open.substack.com/pub/jesspipe...
