I’ve sometimes fallen into the trap of thinking that complementing a creative person for their work is less sophisticated or desired than discussion or debate about it but very often the best thing you can say to them is hell yeah and that doesn’t make you dumb it just makes you nice
The creative you saw/experienced/listened to 100% knows everything they fucked up, didn't get right, or totally whiffed on. Telling them that you enjoyed what they did anyway, especially now, can be the difference between them quitting forever because of all that and keeping going.

I saw it said in a comments section the other day that the CFP is an ESPN Invitational tournament that the NCAA just agrees to go along with, and the whole thing made a lot more sense. The JUSTICE people and the THEATER people are making the same point, just taking different routes to get there.

Clemson and Florida State do not get enough shit for failing to completely walk a bad conference where they have 4x the resources of their competition
why are we bashing jmu and tulane when the acc was a trash heap that should’ve been no-bid

Fully in the tank for Indiana in the playoff unless they play Ohio State again, something I never once said about a James Franklin Penn State team.
America needs heroes and the Big Ten needs good teams. This is mostly fine, though I obviously would have preferred to win. You really can't fuck with that result from this particular Big Ten Championship Game.
Couple of those obvious holding calls would've been okay, too, as well, but I digress.

I will never understand what happened at the end of the first half. Was like they had a Gentlemen's Agreement to run out the half even though Ohio State had three timeouts plus the two minute warning and were way out on the good foot. Any score would've changed the game, and they never scored again.
Indiana finished with 57 plays and Ohio State finished with 56, incredible teamwork when it comes to We're Only Doing So Much Offense

Indiana was the worst team in college football for 150 years and then they let you start paying players and they immediately became No. 1 and the only conclusion one can draw is they were the only ones who didn’t realize you could pay players under the table for the first 150 years.

They're gonna line Ohio State up against Oregon in the 8/9 to have the Big Ten second-best game we didn't get this year or Notre Dame or Miami in the 5/12 to get them the hell out of there.

Watching by far the greatest moment in the 127-year history of Indiana Hoosiers football. Sure seems like conference titles still matter

modern life is alienating - old times probably were too - but the particular "burden" of the modern man is that women have enough freedom to not put up with their fucking shit because they make their own money and don't get pregnant every time they fuck a loser before they realize who he is

These guys I knew in college bought an alligator right before senior year started (August 2004), couple of them swore they knew animals and would take good care of it, but after a couple weeks of this thing hissing and snapping in their bathtub they took it back. We were just happy no one got hurt.
This is a crazy example of a more persistent problem in the reptile trade though: a lot of these animals are quite difficult to keep (healthy and happy, at least) and many of them grow into quite large, formidable animals. It's serious issue that many venders sell them with zero vetting

every squirming amendment to the story they keep dribbling out somehow makes the story worse
EXCLUSIVE: Pete Hegseth ordered the U.S. military on Sept. 2 to kill all 11 people on a suspected drug-smuggling boat because they were on an internal list of military targets, the commander overseeing the operation told lawmakers, according to multiple sources.

If I told you Indiana has beaten Ohio State twice since 1951, in consecutive years in the late 1980s, and only 12 times ever, three of which (25%) happened in 1905 or earlier, would that make you care more or less about that interception?

I know MLS is supposed to be important to American soccer fans and it's not fun or cool to be snide about a league that is growing and changing in interesting ways but it's also hard to take it seriously as a casual viewer when the title game play-by-play sounds like a 2010s Champions League final.
