I still like yellow numbers. I now like blue skies.

Illinois got knocked out of the polls for having losses to #1 and #3 lol.

Oh well.

But I still stand by my statement that he is going to take a hit from this.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 2h

So I apologize that I let it come off that way. I condensed my thoughts into a single post but I almost went into how there’s also a whole segment of his audience that this will resonate with.

You aren’t wrong and you are 100% right about the history of the genre.

It’s even more than not being intimidated by the regime… it’s not being intimidated by the commercial base for his music.

He’ll take a hit from this, though he may open up doors to a different audience to.

And maybe, he’ll get some people to open their minds.

This is incredible to see from a mainstream media program that is in no way left wing.

Respect is a two-way street. Everyone should get and give it initially, but maintaining it is conditional.

And this is so *appropriately* disrespectful to the VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. Amazing.

STEPHANOPOULOS: I didn't insinuate anything. I asked you whether Tom Homan accepted $50k as was heard on an audio tape recorded by the FBI in September 2024. You did not answer the question. Thank you for your time.

VANCE: No, George, I sai--

STEPHANOPOULOS: We'll be right back

“Who was president in 2020?” remains one of the most pertinent questions in American politics—absurd, yes, but here we are—and that extends to “who was president January 1 - 19, 2021?”

Joyce White Vance @joycewhitevance.bsky.social · 8h

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

I’m not as easy on Kerber for it, myself. He’s the Blues VP of broadcasting. He’s been a long time supporter of Chris Zimmerman and certainly has sway.

I don’t know that Kerbs had a leading hand in what went down, but I also don’t buy that he was just along for the ride either.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 17h

Could the announcers refer to him as Pete Crow-Armstrong even one GD time?

Okay at least Ron Darling did.

It's just so, I don't know, unprofessional?, to call him PCA every time.

I never really understand when a runner on second fails to advance on a deep fly ball.

If that ball isn't caught you're going to score from second anyways almost for sure!

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 18h

See my follow up.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 18h

The only thing I dislike is that the call on the field should have been considered no fumble. And the reason I say that is because they clearly did not see it as a fumble live. If they had, Georgia would have been credited for the run back.

Instead, they stopped play and made a guess after.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 18h

I hate to give refs credit ever, but they got that fumble call right in the Georgia-Auburn game.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 18h

I had to go back to rewatch this whole sequence after seeing your posts. Begrudgingly, I think the refs actually got it correct. That first hand is what knocks it loose. The second punch is what looks like the fumble, but it's actually on the first punch.

Which is *just* before the goal line.

RUN THROUGH SECOND BASE

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 19h

All plays are semi-close. But... that really wasn't that close. Weird miss by the ump.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 20h

I’m concerned about this transaction, and I’m a touch concerned about the suggestion that we don’t currently have secure elections, but also… I don’t really think this statement is itself that concerning?

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 20h

Yeah. At the same time, I don’t know how much it would have mattered. Think they’d easily handle anybody except Indiana, which looks like it should make for a great title game.

I will say, though, Illini looked like they could have competed with OSU if only they could have played a cleaner game.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 20h

Yeah they’re far and away the class of the league, especially with the schedules.

Think there is a chance the Illini light actually be the 4th best team in the league, though, which is kinda wild.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 21h

Best part of that win may be the way they closed out the 6-on-5.

SO much better than last year already. They attacked Calgary’s puck possession. Last year they would just immediately pack it in and give the opponent as much room as they wanted on the perimeter.

Huge improvement.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 21h

Nvm, Blues are amazing! (Thx @johnjf125.bsky.social)

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 23h

Turns out St. Louis might have the worst group of pro teams in the country. Super neat.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 22h

Two goals helps, but still not crisp.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 22h

Congrats to Chris Zimmerman and the Blues for creating a literally unsolvable performance problem.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 22h

Blues radio broadcast has already gotten worse as Kerber and Vitale talk over the play more rather than describing the action.

This is of course totally fine — and in fact optimal — for TV. It’s subpar and frustrating for radio.

One broadcast if not both was guaranteed to be worse than before.

Justin Striebel @jstriebel.com · 23h

Yes I’m freaking out after four periods.
