To be clear I would absolutely demolish a Melton Maubray cheese steak pie

LFN and ActionCookbook, together in: "Lounging In Leicestershire", where we introduce dumb foods back to the British like Leicestershire Chili and Melton Maubray cheese steak pies

The Melaniaization of movies, ironically stopping at the same topic!

Nice pull on NCAA vs. Tarkanian. I forgot how important that ruling was in whittling away at the NCAA's enforcement powers.

in Extra Points news:

Whoops! The Trump Executive Order might accidentally nuke the NCAA's remaining legal protections and open them up for EVEN MORE lawsuits.

Never forget this was about disenfranchising YOUR vote, taking YOUR right to vote away. Seditious bullshit. He deserves the book being thrown at him.

I watched Eastman, in real time, testify to the Georgia General Assembly that it was their *duty* to overturn my vote in 2020. He lied about evidence. He misled his client about the law. Law profs who back wannabe coup leaders and authoritarians should retire because what’s the point of law at all?

I see a million tech moguls complaining that media coverage has become "anti-tech" like some kind of spontaneous vibe shift, and regrettably few wondering if, maybe, the issue is that a bunch of the tech industry became less worthy of being positive about over the past several years.

Not everything that breaks is technically the fault of vibe coding but the kind of culture that would foster vibe coding is the kind that produces a lot of shit that breaks.

I was worried a second reading this headline, but to clarify, the SWAC is eliminating games against teams that are not D-I OR D-II. Tuskegee can and will still play SWAC teams.

This is more broadly generalizable: If you don't do the research yourself, you have no idea if AI is making stuff up. And if you do the research yourself, then AI isn't saving you much labor, if any.

My big question about the Learfield/TPG sale No, this doesn't mean PRIVATE EQUITY IS COMING FOR COLLEGE FOOTBALL. It's already here. But what about the math?

but I do kinda wonder how this is supposed to actually be profitable

I feel very strongly we need the FCS Kickoff game more than ever, especially with the announcement that Week 0 is going to be opened up to FBS games.

It should be the same weekend, broadcast by Amazon or Netflix (because ESPN doesn't want it), and it should be a FCS celebration.

My Phil Garner story: He was the manager of the Brewers during my only trip to Milwaukee County Stadium. In the 7th inning, he made 4 pitching changes and caused the seventh inning stretch to last over an hour. we saw a guy but at least 12 beers during that inning alone. Thanks to Phil Garner
