Why I pay for @channel6.bsky.social:

Scoring points quickly would have helped the Nittany Lions, but hurrying a James Franklin team is like asking a sloth to hurry up in the shitter. The sloth doesn’t understand the words or the concept, and all the yelling only frightens and confuses them more.

“HONEY
The allegations that Illinois head football coach Bret Bielema is a shaved bear who learned the basics of offensive line play cannot and will not be beaten here.”

Thank you to @channel6.bsky.social for putting this lovely reference to my favorite commercial right after the discussion of how terrible my team's offense is in this week's Top Whatever; made me genuinely smile after getting pissed off all over again, great palate cleanser lol 💜💛

Picture of "the cheesiest" cheese wheel from the Cheez-It commercial captioned: "It's been years. And yet, he still inspires. Because this morning, like every Saturday he did indeed wake up feeling the cheesiest, despite not having a head or limbs."
