Forgot about this. Need to rewatch it.

America is so not ready.

Mulaney consistently cracks me up, and I never expect it. 

I was just gonna say “you know it’s a Southern school because it’s named after some Confederate general...” and I wasn’t even sure if it was, but knew it had to be. WTF. 

Yeah, you all are long overdue for a run for this club. Hope it works out. 

If Brad leaves Boston tomorrow, what college job could he get with a phone call? 

Shout out to a Wyoming legend. 

He’s not wrong.

What’s wild is, if you turned college sports entirely into a student run practice much like say..the student newspaper, even the NCAA, it would be an amazing learning opportunity and become the most coveted student jobs ever. I know there’s some logistical issues (everybody terming out after undergrad, etc.) but there…

Any tennis player good enough to make pro money would eschew college and go play on the tour. There’s no one-and-done rule in tennis or golf. 

Bingo.

Yup, this checks out. It’s stellar how important folks take these things relative to how important they actually are.

I’m so glad I hate the NFL or else this would really bother me.

What a fucking legend of Elton John not only to cede the stage to let this kid sing his song, but for both of them to stick the landing like that impromptu. So cool. 

Baseball used to be fun. Hot Stove used to be awesome. Now? they’ve ceded all their ground to basketball and football...MLS is dull because there’s no real player movement besides TAM money (fuck MLS) But baseball is basically horse racing but with startup money (and no animal abuse...) gonna be wild in 30 years when…

yeah they got him to pick his brain about Serena, she beat Serena and he’d served his purpose. He stays around much longer and it’s “oh, he’s the reason she was #1" This isn’t a Hank Haney situation. 

In-city rivals doing this? Oh this is petty. Also, did they bring their own ladder? How did the school’s facilities folks let them do this? Or was the excuse legitimately “other schools have celebrated on another court?” Also, cutting down the nets for a conference title? That’s a little..c’mon?

Super neat story. Wonder if we can get OOTP to simulate the next all-star game live when some season gets canceled because of collusion.

Literally on his death bed, his great grandkids are gonna know the story by heart. 

Older minor leagues kinda worked before TV deals were huge because they didn’t try to be something they weren’t. And they were competitive, players developed and got deals. But this chummy we’re gonna be the NFL’s minor league thing is cute, except...there’s gotta be a way to do this kind of thing without spending…
