🎶that's how murph cussed when he talked to tom verducci that's how he showed his vulgar language side he said a word that's sinful and verducci hid a giggle and everyone enjoyed a bit of murphy's salty side🎶 and NO i will NEVER pass up a chance to make a "the night pat murphy died" joke about him.

today is a phone call day. tell you what, it's a trip and a half to talk to the departments of revenue for alabama and new york city back to back. both very helpful in COMPLETELY different styles, lol.

i've probably always been a bad sports fan, especially by internet standards. my thing is always "i want to cheer for my team" and not "i want to make sure strangers know how much i hate a thing that brings them some joy in a tough life." my teams are losing. i'm bummed. glad folks like that.

we are going to have to find an alternative to meta products for local communities and advertising, right now, it’s almost impossible to do any kind of local business or art project without it, but both their rules and support are so arbitrary and capricious that you can’t rely on them

this is a good season of life for me to have dialed back from fandom into a more casual viewing of CFB at large. the thing we loved is really dented right now by the playoff and the dread fear by the powers that be that the $$$$$$ might become $$$$$ for them and $ for the kids.

i love how they shoved the big 12 replay review "office" into the saddest lil conference room on earth.
The replay review process on TV - split screen, officials on top, review team on the bottom. The review team has a little plastic table with a rig of monitors on some really fragile looking stands

This is a fun interview but about 8 or 9 min in she's asked very bluntly about the Ed Sheeran situation, and while she's carefully generous to him she's also very clear and plain spoken about it - not an easy thing to do live on such a big platform under studio lights
