As for TONIGHT's game between the 49ers and Rams, given the injuries stacking up on both sides of the ball for the 49ers, the Rams could feast imho.

ESPN has discarded brilliant journalism for squirts of memebrain swill | Aaron Timms

Brett Walker @brettchatssport.bsky.social · 18d

Good article by Aaron Timms for @theguardian.com on the effect ESPN's pursuit of younger viewers has had on its journalism.

Aaron's article on the intersection of the manosphere and sport from July for The Guardian is also well worth a read too.

Influencer creep symbolizes a broader rot at the heart of the broadcaster as it attempts to stop interrogating the very sports it covers

A Titans fan sent me the game script from the end of yesterday's 1st half as an example of Tennessee's lack of imagination.

My main gripe is I have Tony Pollard in my fantasy team, and yes, it's good he's getting plenty of carries, but I need him to get more yards and TDs please. 😆

BCS Offcuts - Shedeur Sanders

Reposted by Brett Walker

Mimi Thebo @mimithebo.bsky.social · Sep 7

During the draft, I decided to explain why the Sheduer saga made some people so angry/sad. It’s hard to see this kind of parallel sometimes when you’re in the majority. It’s like expecting fish to notice water. But once you see it…

My chat with Nick will always be a fave because he talked about his mental health and how friends on both sides of the Atlantic helped him.

Following Week 1 of the 2025 NFL season, I've put some thoughts together.

It's too early to tell how everything will shake out, but given we saw multiple divisional games to start the season, Week 1 will go a long way to deciding who makes the playoffs.

First week of the regular season saw wins for the Packers, Commanders and Vikings, among others
