Awful Announcing actually had a great follow-up post on their story today looking purely at what videos Fox is actually using - i.e., what ‘content’ is the new Foxsports all about. The tl;dr version is basically “even if you grant Foxsports’ concept, their execution of that concept currently sucks”. The videos posted

So, if I’m reading this right, Jamie Horowitz thinks clickbait is too sophisticated and nuanced. Something tells me I’ll totally believe what happens next.

I read the AA piece and one thing that was missing stuck out to me like a sore thumb. They have someone on their payroll who is well suited to be the focus of video content for their website (that people might actually want to watch), but who is basically collecting dust. Where the hell is Katie Nolan?

Berry is not a great actress, but Monster’s Ball was a solid performance. It was neither the first or the last time the Best Actress statue was awarded to a middling but beautiful actress whose work was graded on a curve. Like if Julia Roberts, Sandra Bullock, and GOOP have Oscars, we don’t get to call out Halle like

Elaine Welteroth has been killing it as EIC

The optics of pulling people from their wheelchairs is simply staggering in its awfulness. Yet Trump supporters (who will undoubtedly be affected in large numbers) will put on their stupid MAGA hats and cheer Donnnie on, while he simultaneously pushes their heads deeper into a shit-filled trench.

The Ringer’s best culture takes are “Shea Serrano gets high and talks about action movies.”

The problem with The Ringer is that Grantland on the culture side was at least partially longform. They had really good Mad Men recaps and stuff. Now they’re all bullshit roundtables where half the people don’t even take the not that interesting premise seriously.

“The Trump Presidency Is Spoiler-Proof”?

I understand and appreciate the reasoning, but it doesn’t mean that the Washington moniker is no longer or never was racist. It’s still racist, and it’s going to be racist tomorrow.

It’s borderline insane for a franchise to have such an unsettled front office just three days away from the draft and 16 days from the start of free agency, and now there’s suddenly a superstar up for grabs.

I have a shockingly high tolerance for Simmons style commentary from the man himself, though I think he was terrible on TV; coming from others it’s a harder sell. Golic didn’t make a strong impression on me one way or the other - here’s a big ex NFL guy, might be interesting, might not, whatever - but something about

Do you prefer meathead ex player commentary, or pseudo intellectual Bill Simmons style commentary?

This is pretty fucking strong for a stream of consciousness rant.

I think you missed the point of the article, which is that there is TOO MUCH parity

Can you really say there’s no parity in the East, minus one single player?

Wahlberg is, obviously, the top in that pairing but the video will be hilarious as he keeps shouting “FEEL IT! FEEL IT!” as he pounds Simmons’ bitch ass. Simmons won’t cum until Wahlberg leans in and whispers “Tahm Brady is the fookin greatest cortaback eva.”

He credits regularly watching the show with helping him learn English

“What if we got celebrities to lip sync to my favorite 80s one hit wonders?”

Jimmy Fallon is the White Sox of late night TV.
