You’re welcome for the comedy, America

The most stunning thing about Belichick's career collapsing and his reputation for anyone under 25 being recast as "horny old dude flaming out in six weeks at North Carolina" is that the football team that made the best decision to keep itself clean throughout this saga was the Atlanta Falcons

One of our more Serious Football Analysis episodes, yet still more Lord of the Rings butts content than all other football podcasts combined. What a value

Shutdown Fullcast @shutdownfullcast.bsky.social · 10h

We talked a lot about Bill Belichick, but we also talked about competent football winners (the Jacksonville Jaguars)

I chose this photo for today's newsletter because it looks like a pretty good reaction meme. "When everyone was all set to blame you for your boyfriend becoming bowl-ineligible before mid-November, but you're not one of the 100 biggest problems"

Bill Belichick’s UNC might just get worse, plus Texas and Penn State

Can I tell you about someone else who delivers

New Mexico Man @newmexicoman.bsky.social · 1d

@jasonkirk.fyi just got Hell Is A World Without You delivered. Looking forward to start reading it (tomorrow, because I’m old and there’s no way I’m opening a book after MNF ends, even if I don’t end up falling asleep on my couch).

i believe there are about a hundred and fifty million people like me who would pay $17 to watch benicio del toro as sergio st. carlos plan and execute a tight sunday costco run before he has to man the barbecue after his niece's afternoon soccer game (run time: 2 hours 20 minutes)

This UCLA team is far worse than any remotely average team, but WVU essentially lost in a semifinal game to its 4-7 archrival as a four-TD favorite. Not just about opponent quality

This morning in the free college football newsletter:

- @alexkirshner.com asks whether Penn State-UCLA was the worst loss since 13-9 itself
- Alex did most of the writing this time actually
- I did however make a shark gif

Penn State loss was the most disastrous since … ? Plus: Miami up, Belichick down

Continued video of feds gassing protestors and CPD alike. In the chaos one woman came to a CPD officer asking for help for a relative that she says feds just grabbed.

Officer response: "We just clocked in. We don't know what's going on."

If you think institutions will hold, consider that they just started calling it the “two minute timeout” and no one said anything or bothered to stop them.
