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

@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.

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!

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

@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.

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.
