WrestleMania week on ESPN will be a thing as long as they have their WWE deal.

It joins many other weeks (~10x a year), where editorially, studio shows all row together in the same direction

This week is draft week. A month ago, it was bracket week.

It's weird because it's wrestling and new.

A few of these are okay, but the majority of the 'Untold' series is documentary clickbait.

Great topics that you want to watch, but then the execution, access, fact-checking, and storytelling is C- or worse.

Most of them leave you wanting more. They just don't care or try.

Making them good imo is a close to impossible mission.

Interesting times in CFB.

- Less ranking shows are on the table, but they get good ratings, and the contract is clear on # of shows.

- Nixing conference champ games is getting traction.

Both are gaining momentum but require stakeholders to walk away from things that make $

My wife told me “you don’t have to be like ISIS and take credit for everything”

Her sense of humor has really gotten so much better since we got together.

I was befuddled by the real feel temp difference between the two apps on my phone.

And then I was like “hey dipshit, just go outside and figure it out yourself”.

I made the mistake of opening Threads and this is my entire timeline.

I have been working with Phillip since 2014.

He’s worn almost as many hats as myself during this long run. Highly recommend him for a wide array of possible roles.

Motivated. Self starter. Great guy

The UFL presented by DraftKings!

Where you have as many sports betting analysts as people at the game!

I know it’s a thing to nostalgically yearn for ESPN of yesteryear but dang…this came across my TikTok feed.

I remember watching this. The access. The storytelling. Bob Ley. OTL.

Long gone. 🥺

Would be a sanitized/authorized version on a streamer now, if anything.

You know the DraftKings cone of silence is tight (could change) when NYP aggregates our article and insanely plugs their own gambling section, and it's STILL crickets.

Portnoy famously once destroyed an offshore sportsbook and poached one of their employees for some obnoxious tweets.

I don't think I have anything in my life equivalent to how people who really love The Masters feel about it.

That's a 2% diss, but more 98% on me for just being cynical.

IDK. There is an Italian Deli in San Jose, my wife said I get emotional talking about missing. Maybe?

If I made a list of the shittiest ten people in sports media to follow on social, I don’t think any of them are on here.

Like I never open this app and am like “oh fuck, what did this asshole post now?”

I don’t think I have muted anyone on here.

Just sucks so major brands are exclusive to X.

The Super Bowl being one of the last days in February when it was January half of my life is wild, but I bet after a cycle or two I’d enjoy the extra weeks of football (especially in these Diebler OSU bball years)

I am totally good using Google Sheets instead of Excel.

Same for Slides vs. Powerpoint.

No issue using WordPress over Word.

But I just can't with Google Docs. Just feels like it's unofficial/unserious and not for REAL writing.

I have no idea why, but I'm a hater.

100%.

We've been connecting the dots the last few weeks and put this out at the end of March.

Lot of noise, but not hard to figure out where it's coming from!

Barstool’s ‘Big Ev’ status in question amid allegations of stiffing bookies Barstool Sports personality Evan McDowell, commonly known as “Big Ev,” appears to have been sidelined by the outlet amid multiple accusations from fans alleging he stiffed bookies they helped connect McDowell to, or in other instances, failed to repay followers who placed wagers on his behalf. Since allegations first surfaced, McDowell has gone silent on…

Most of these guys half-believe this legislation and only grandstand to get campaign donations from the gaming lobby.

No online bets, props, and parlays? After ~3+ years of being legal? The Ohio GOP is reliably unserious. 90% of this will be stripped out once the shakedown works.
