Watching a YouTube video where there are a bunch of mispronunciations of names and places and it’s NOT an AI voiceover…that now feels more embarrassing now than before.

It’s not as bad as some people are making it out to be. Also, I think those same people are being a little reductive in what the film is potentially saying, and if I felt it was only saying that I’d agree but I don’t think it is.

Stuck with Prime because his stupid contract but, while now the hope is somehow your AD hires the next Cignetti (or Bob Chesney), it’s like man I’d settle for what Jake Dickert is doing or a consistent, less annoying PJ Fleck at this point to at least have some goddamn competency standards.

Outside making jokes like this much more freely, which is a product of the times, there’s also so many analytics nerds out there who point to charts and flat out say shit like “I hate this player” when doing their “analysis” and it’s, again, like guys (because it’s all guys), come on.

There’s an allegation in here where Muss says CBM is “the worst teammate anyone has had.” That could be true but seeing guys with sizable audiences use that to be like “was on my bingo card” or “face check true” when there are serious accusations being leveled, come on man.

I’ve noticed many younger (under 30) journalists covering college sports on a national level (for non-traditional but well read outlets) are quick and willing to outright tweet or say that “Player A sucks” or to air out dirty laundry info they got from a coach and I don’t think that’s a positive.

rex potray @rexpotray.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

With subsequent enshittification of college sports on multiple levels, the same media who proclaimed certain schools “had to do it” and leave rivalries to chase TV dollars and get a Thursday at 9pm broadcast window can now act as though what is now lost should be found again. Pathetic stuff, really

rex potray @rexpotray.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

It’s almost as if having regional or like minded institutions play one another in sports in the same conference was a good thing. Of course, important to note most of college sports media told us realignment was just an inevitability we had to accept, and that your TV contract > who you played.

Love Bernie but his lasting legacy in the state he represents for growing prog politics is total shit. It’s a 3rd party that gets scapegoated for the precieved ills of its largest city, and its state reps/senators just act as jr. partners to Dems. And they mostly taking laying down.

Unfortunately because the Dem power establishment here doesn’t want her to win, they’d honestly prefer the Republican idiot to keep acting as a foil and excuse for doing nothing, so she’ll get crushed without material support, while having the correct stance of no corporate/PAC money.

rex potray @rexpotray.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

The person who won the Dem nominee in my small, liberal state that keeps electing a Republican governor is the more progressive candidate and ran a primary campaign much better and organized than I anticipated. However, her campaign vibe is “Home” by Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros. Concerning?

Nashville prob getting the east coast team with a terribly weak organization effort. That’s how it goes but I think that has to suck if you’re Portland, despite not having a majority bidder, have a site secured and a funding promise via the Oregon gov’t to pay for it then repay it via jock taxes.

1) the WatchMojo billionaire trying with the Montreal bid continues to just be really embarrassing 2) on the other site, there are multiple comments about how Portland, OR is too woke and scary to get an MLB team despite honestly having a more advanced bid than Nashville 3) Utah is getting it, boo

Those of you eager to serve wealthy MLB owners as volunteer Pinkertons won’t like to read this, but as usual Joe Sheehan nails the real problem:

Joe Sheehan: This trade is a microcosm of the real problem MLB has faced for decades. It’s not about haves and have-nots, but wants and want-nots. The Dodgers, and teams like them, want to win more than teams like the Tigers do, so they go out and acquire the Tigers’ best pitcher. MLB has built an entire labor strategy and media campaign around demonizing the Dodgers, when in fact it’s the Tigers who are wrecking baseball. You have to be through the looking glass to think the sport’s problem is the team that’s trying to win rather than the team that’s trading Tarik Skubal while sitting 2 1/2 games out of a playoff spot.

The real journalistic thing to do here post game was to not ask Jensen about the incident but if he could name 5 of his teammates that rushed in to break up the fight.
