I watched this entire game in a bar with @brianmfloyd.bsky.social tonight and we realized our favorite sports teams were both Jon Bois documentaries, which is an incredibly specific kind of kinship

I watched you adopt the Mariners from afar and chose not to say anything, knowing you’d have to discover it for yourself sooner or later

Absolutely loved the season, but the finale was infuriatingly paced, and the edit out of the montage into the ending made the former seem like a dream sequence

i did a quick re-telling of the Saga of Skattebo after he boot-and-rallied his team back into the last game of his college career, it's one of my favorite things I wrote last CFB season

Rodger Sherman @rodger.bsky.social · Jan 2

The Saga of Skattebo ended with a boot-and-rally and team-on-his-back heroism until there were no more tackles to break.

Cam Skattebo, go straight to the Eternal Hall of Ballers:

Cam Skattebo, go straight to College Football Valhalla

A tribute to one of the great college football careers, which ended in fitting fashion. We'll remember the Skatteboot and Rally in the Peach Bowl forever.

News: Bari Weiss just sent a memo to staffers at CBS News asking them to produce a memo explaining "how you spend your working hours—and ideally, what you've made (or are making) that you're most proud of."

One CBS News staffer puts it like this to me: "We just got Elon Musked."

We are truly witnessing the rise of a historic Doofus in Cam Skattebo

This is one of the funniest bits from that ESPN article. This would annoy the shit out of me as well.

Quote from ESPN article -
RB Dante Miller:

"I've never seen [some]one chew seeds louder. He eats loud. He does everything loud. It's quiet [in the meeting room] and he's munching on seeds and I'm like, this is not normal.

"What's a crazy cartoon character? That's a very, very good comparison. Like the Tasmanian Devil. I like that. But he chews his seeds very loud."

Good morning @wizzyprobs.bsky.social, hope Friday is good. Lots of great @postsports.bsky.social content today if you’re interested

Hey Wizzy how’s your evening

Hilariously, I think a WaPo sports columnist just rallied the entire current WaPo readership to jump into my mentions. Nearly half a dozen accounts including the obvious sock puppet.

The NFL doesn’t watch college football

victoria zeller (buy ONE OF THE BOYS) @dirtbagqueer.rocks · 1d

there is no explanation for this player being a 4th round pick other than him being kind of silly looking. his ability to do…. whatever the fuck this is…. is beyond special

I like the Flyers and don’t mind the Eagles but it will never stop being funny that America’s shit talkingest fan base and its worst star clutched pearls because a backup infield said “atta boy” in a locker room. Brittle spirits

this whole column is excellent, but this graf in particular is the best description I've ever read on the difference between college football and the NFL
