It’s throwback week!

I hear you. “But Brian, you run throwback schemes every week!”

Well, yes, that’s true, but sometimes I make earnest attempts at throwbacks and don’t just put my name on them!

Let’s explore some of my favorites that I’ve done.

There’s a semi-new pizza spot near me that has great food, but after I signed for loyalty points, they started sending AI-generated ads for specials they run. This one, featuring the Eagles’ logo with a furry beak, is one of the better ones.

The game looks great, whether it’s their first game or not. It looks like there are some things that can be improved, but this is the first time I’ve even considered buying a console NASCAR game since Heat Evolution.

I’ve been friends with a bunch of Rubbin’s Racin’ people like @phathead.bsky.social, @steve.racing, @bena09.bsky.social, and others for two decades.

The Rays local Fox Sports/Bally Sports/Fan Duel Sports reporters tried that one year during the “We clinched” clubhouse celebrations and eventually just gave up

They might have just been too concerned with the amount of champagne and Budweiser that the reporter got doused with.

NN: Dems say you won't swear in Grijalva bc you don't want her vote on Epstein

JOHNSON: No. It's scheduling

NN: But there have been Rs sworn in during pro forma sessions

MJ: Only reason was bc they flew in their family

NN: So if she flies in her family you'd do it?

MJ: Again, it's a distraction

Really cool that my favorite drivers in two different series are both employed by this guy

The customization in the paint booth in NASCAR 25 looks incredible

Fox made a big deal about Jr getting locked into the playoffs after he won the 500 in 2014.

If it were that much of an issue, why did it take 12 seasons to address it? At the very least, they could have told the media partners to not do it if they were dead set on not changing the format.

Jeff Gluck (Mirror) @jeff-gluck-tw.bsky.social · 1d

Steve O'Donnell on the playoff format:

-- Nothing will be announced before end of season
-- Thinks the current playoffs potentially hurt star power
-- Doesn't like that people talk about the playoffs when someone wins the Daytona 500
-- NASCAR needs the drivers to buy into whatever the format is

I’m genuinely starting to believe the theory that someone in the administration is showing him AI-generated videos of this stuff and he thinks it’s real.

For your own sanity, please do not track how many times that ad plays during college football games and Xfinity Series races on The CW.
