This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I'm so confident Pew Pew Bang could have like 5 million followers if the right people were exposed to it. Do you have people in your life who love games but hate listening to a bunch of dudes talk about them? Show them Pew Pew Bang!! It's the podcast that's also a slumber party!
The new episode of Pew Pew Bang is now live! The crew finds games at the intersection of fragging and friendship and Haley has some wise words to share for those mourning a relationship gone by. Watch here or listen on your podcast app of choice: youtu.be/_i27qAXe2-4

We're still looking for video of 1977 Week 7 Giants at Cardinals. None of my usual sources have it. NFL Films doesn't have it. It's hard to believe a MNF game with a NY team doesn't exist, but there you go. So this is a Hail Mary for all collectors!

as a neurodivergent & also weird kid school was hell for me, though these days I struggle to remember the names of all the teachers who bullied me. But the three that treated me like a person have never left me. Now more than ever, I hope you all try your best to stay unsquishable!

This is a big one. I've shared the 1978-1993 PBP that @quirkyresearch.bsky.social and I have put together over the years with Pro Football Reference. You can now find all the play-by-play back to 1978 there and in their Stathead query tool. Enjoy!
It's been at least half a dozen years, perhaps more than @aaronschatz.com @sean-forman.com @frantic.org and I have been talking about partnering around this. So freaking excited to announce it to the public. That's right, @pro-football-reference.com now has PxP and all sorts of new stats back to '78

I’m working on a prototype for which I have this assumption… My assumption is desktop users will prefer to have a vertical in-page navigation system rather than our current horizontal navigation with drop-downs. I have some more assumptions but I figured I’d start with this one. Your thoughts?
