Fox's scorebug has bothered me for a while now and I finally figured out why: it reminds me of the "edgy" 1990s ESPN2 house style

I mean if they graft this guy onto the beginning and play Oo-da-lally over the opening credits it'll at least show a sense of humor about it

Along with her career of philanthropic giving, Jody Allen, as executor of Paul Allen's estate, is charged with donating the entire proceeds from the upcoming sale of the Seahawks - likely in the $10 billion dollar range - to a variety of charities and causes. Go be performative about something else

Looking like a fourth grader whose mom took a picture of him out in front of city hall after his drawing won third place in the local library's design-a-bookmark contest

Like, this is the Pro Football Reference HoF Monitor for QBs. There's no way all these guys get in, even though they have historically great stats. Brady, Rodgers and Mahomes are no doubters, and I think Stafford probably is, too, but idk about any of the other guys at this point

Thankful for this bullshit coming across my TL this morning because it gives me a chance to share one of my favorite sentences ever written (deragory). Tyler can never do it like Mikey Barbaro:

I know this is a classic "impossible to answer" question but we're about the same age and have a similar taste in music based on podcast appearances you've made and references in articles (still remember you mentioning Carry the Zero in an old Grantland piece) so: what are your five favorite bands?

Need to give a shout out to tree_bro during this "best tweets ever" discourse, he unfortunately checked out way too early and made his mark in the period before Twitter became mainstream but he was truly one of the greats

In general I'm fine with the Mariners moving to MLB Local Media for their broadcasts, other teams have done it without complaint, but I do have to say it is some real fuck shit that they're delaying the ability to stream w/ your cable credentials for a couple weeks

Unrelated, but continuing to dye his beard jet black decades after his notorious shoe polish looking hair dying fiasco is a pretty good bit

I follow a TikTok account that goes to non league soccer grounds in England and rates them on their ambience, pasties, and pints, and I nearly lost it reading the name of this club and where they're based

In many ways it was an ordinary election with a lot of window dressing that made it seem extraordinary - at the end of the day, the incumbent party lost because of the economic conditions, primarily inflation. This isn't a Gaza map, or a Project 2025 map, this is "my money don't spend anymore" map

Oregon views Kenny Wheaton's pick-six to upset Washington in 1994 as *the* turning point in their program. They play it before every game at Autzen Stadium. This week, Kenny Wheaton more or less disavowed any connection he has to the university. Coincidence?
