exactly. i wouldn't want art briles as the coach of my team. hell, i don't want his son as my offensive coordinator. but the reality is, an athletic dept can buy low here and we live in a time where many people are giving up the pretense of caring about the horrible stuff that got him fired.
I always read it as you putting on your AD hat (ie getting kind of cynical/real) and pitching bringing in a proven winner they all love and DGAF about the other stuff. Wasnt anyone youd hire or want hired but that wasn’t the exercise

man i just knew some folks were trying. like, they keep trying to float gruden as a name in some of these and at a certain point, they ain't joking lol
@joelanderson.bsky.social Joel, I hope the guys on Tailgate are going to give you props for calling the hire of Art Briles. They laughed but you were right.

Don’t know why but this very sad clip reminds me of that scene from “40 Year Old Virgin” where homie says a breast feels like a bag of sand.
Everything about this might be the saddest thing I’ve ever seen

We’re talking about offseason stuff too but tbd!
Y'all really only got one more livestream this year? Can y'all add the army-navy game or something?

We talked about if we’re sick of Lane, if Lincoln has done enough in LA, Billy’s side hustle as a radio color guy for the worst program in FBS & how I invented raising the roof in 1994 and never got appropriate credit. Among other things. Tap in

My son sitting here on our couch digging in his nose and watching Peppa Pig while I gather the strength for the morning. And I, like, nuzzled into his big fuzzy head while he has boogers on his fingers. Love is so powerful lol

I’m so old, I remember when Tommy Castellanos was a leading Heisman candidate and FSU was in the top 10.

Why did Zohran Mamdani agree to nearly every interview during his mayoral campaign?

"It was simple," senior adviser @zararahim.bsky.social tells us. "We just were not snobs."

i'm so glad you said that because that's definitely what I want to write about (someday soon)!
Confession of implicit bias. Until I read your question, it never occurred to me that I always picture Caucasians when I hear the term "Baby Boomer."

Question: Is there anyone out here that has done any research or scholarship on Black Baby Boomers? If you know of someone, or you are that person, please drop me a line. Thanks in advance!

hold on, hold on. you're not thinking about what he really doesn't want to give up here. he's holding on for as long as he can.
bill, brother. you could be on the golf course right this moment. you could be on a boat every day of your life. instead you're at adult stunt cheerleading competitions in your spare time while trying to get unc to whatever they call the meineke car care bowl these days.
Bill Belichick attended a cheerleading competition in Raleigh, where he supported his girlfriend Jordon, a member of a coed adult cheerleading team. #BillBelichick #CollegeFootball #football

I accidentally had “Erotic City” come on Spotify this morning and now my 3yo can’t hear it enough.
November 19, 2025 at 1:27 PM
I assume she’ll come up lol. And if she does, bet.
@joelanderson.bsky.social it would be illuminating for the audience if this side of Nuzzi came up next time you and @bryancurtis.bsky.social discuss her evolving situation on the Press Box.

So Harvard is keeping this guy, but Claudine Gay had to step down over ginned up plagiarism accusations and bad-faith accusations of anti-Semitism.

Got it.
Larry Summers tells @theharvardcrimson.bsky.social
he’s stepping back from all public commitments in light of his messages with Epstein, saying he is “deeply ashamed” and hopes “to rebuild trust and repair relationships.”

He will continue teaching.
